    Canceled my members plan today, due to being told that I wouldn’t be able to have my Star bucks coffee inside the cafe of life time fitness (branding purposes). Upon signing up for the gym, I was never given that information on such a tacky restriction. To help, if you want to retain your members, you guys should urgently find away to inform everyone, on what seems to be a “business branding strategy”. Right now, it’s tacky, poor customer and communication. Or better yet to help you guys, try signing up each member, and maybe giving each of them a mug, complimentary, ( And I’m speaking on the mugs you guys have on the side table of the entrance). You guys have the mugs marked at $34, instead of charging $34 for them, give them away complementary, and tell each member upon signing up, to simply put all beverages in the mug that was given to them when visiting for a workout. Mentioning that it’s policy. Again, this was just tacky. Still can’t believe it. I actually discovered you guys by taking a trip to star bucks one day. Another brand won’t make you guys less visible or less valuable. Always choose humanity over rules. And if your going to implement a rule, make sure it’s clear and spoken on in the very beginning. Bryan (manager on duty I informed this matter to), Canceled my membership without no hesitation or NO question. I Thought that was even more interesting.

    Pretty solid place. Very clean. Bright. I like the environment. It’s worth the membership price. I love the warm whirl pool and the steam room smelled like eucalyptus. Love that.

    Even if I hadn't been to that place, I would like to leave a stern message to the manager. What you did Is not a good move, and you made her work environment toxic. Because of your gross insubordination, I am writing a 2 star review on her behalf. You sir are very unprofessional and disrespectful towards her. Hope you enjoy that 2 star review from me!! You are welcome for your help and have fun being fired!!

    Just AWESOME! Fantastic variety of classes with outstanding instructors who give you positive reinforcement, encouragement and helpful advice, positive affirmations... Nice members! GREAT management, Mik is AWESOME! Wonderful cafe with healthy choices, The SPA is fantastic, too! Life Time Athletic Ardmore is my home away from home! Every staff member is friendly and welcoming. The operations staff does a great job keeping the gym clean, especially Elena. I feel very lucky to be a member. I love it! ❤️ Thank you!

    After joining Lifetime I was in serious need of a trainer that would help me achieve my body goals. As a person who never worked out I was nervous and worried I wouldn't know how or what to do in the gym. I meet a trainer named Shaheen. He was amazing. He's knowledgeable friendly and could clearly see my limits. He didn't push me to hard but I felt accomplished. Ask for Shaheen he's amazing.

    Hydrafacials with Rin are a MUST. My skin feels so great for weeks after the facial and every pore is cleaned out without any pain! The facilities are clean and staff is very helpful. Definitely don’t miss out on the spa and facials with Rin.

    The cafe is wildly over priced. Got two salads both were surprisingly with wilted lettuce, nasty tomatoes, and solid brown avocado.

    Amazing facilities. Great instructors. The whole package for every skill level. You never get the impression that you don’t belong as everyone is incredibly welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend for all fitness levels. Amy Fox is a standout instructor. Her Warrior Sculpt class is not to be missed!

    I have tried the gym (multiple classes, small group training, pilates), the cafe and the spa. All the staff I have encountered have been welcoming and encouraging; other members have that vibe as well. The space is clean and inviting, and it's a treat to go there during the cold, dark months of winter. The food in the cafe is tasty and convenient to order. The entire spa staff was very friendly, and my experience was relaxing.

    I love Lifetime Fitness. It’s spaces draw you back with their beautiful design, spacious and comfortable areas, and thorough fitness equipment selection. It’s clean, bright, and full of life. Membership includes a wide selection if classes from cardio to strengthen.

    I joined Lifetime before Covid. I’m glad I didn’t cancel my membership. The environment is always clean and staff always pleasant and helpful.

    I visited the Lifespa after finding Rin on social media. I have skin concerns including hyper pigmentation. I was impressed with Rin’s knowledgeable assessment of my skin and I look forward to continuing to work with her!

    Aminah gives the Best massage with a room of peace, calmness and relaxation. Her professionalism set the tone for my service.

    I like this club location better than the one in KOP but if you’re looking for a place that has a reliable (Womens) sauna lifetime isn’t the place for you. It’s frequently “down” where it may only get 110-120 degrees. There must be some sort of chronic issue with it. I’ve had memberships at less expensive clubs and haven’t experienced the sauna not working as frequently as lifetime ardmore and kop.

    I work at this Lifetime in the salon. Just letting everyone know we have a full service salon and spa with an excellent staff of very experienced and talented people! Please come see us for your hair and skin!!!

    Following Covid protocols. Spacing, cleaning, etc. Must wear ur mask when working out. Get a good one and you'll be fine.

    Incredible gym. I can spend my entire day here

  • 5/5 Sarah S. 5 years ago on Google
    I am not a member but did go to the Lifespa today (which gives you free access to the gym for the day with any booking) and am feeling like a new person. Mike gave me a 90 minute massage and I cannot thank him enough! Using a combination of massage techniques, this is the first time I've been pain free in my lower back and feet in years! I normally don't write reviews, but I cannot be more grateful for how much better I feel after my appointment!

  • 4/5 Thomas A. 5 years ago on Google
    Clean and luxury gym, however, if you are looking for something like Gold's gym this is not it, its more of a Planet Fitness on steroids.. A lot of machines and not a lot of traditional weightlifting equipment.. Edit: they have bought more equipment(still lacking a little) and turned up the heat in the sauna. Bumped up one star!

  • 5/5 Frank S. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is great and I love my trainer.The variety and effectiveness of classes can't be beat!

  • 1/5 Ankit D. 5 years ago on Google
    I don't get how this is considered as the Diamond Level for Lifetime. They don't even have a pool. This is way overpriced for what it offers. There are cleaner and nicer gyms in the area for a fraction of the cost.

  • 1/5 Jeremy K. 5 years ago on Google
    Do not use this gym. It is extremely overpriced, their staff lies about pricing and the membership, and they do not have basic gym equipment which has already been mentioned by other reviewers. I have been charged an unauthorized fee by this gym and the manager, Miklos Horvath, refuses to meet with me to clear this up, showing absolutely no customer service. Miklos refers me in a standard email to call their customer service line, who do not pick up the phone, return voicemail or emails. I joined the Philadelphia Sports Club in Radnor, which has more equipment for $30 per month! Life Time will charge you $180 and does not have a lat pull down machine!

    I took a spin class from Stephanie on a Friday morning. One of the best workouts I have had in awhile. High energy teacher and great music

  • 2/5 KG 5 years ago on Google
    Beautiful gym but their yoga classes are hugely disappointing. Very few classes are offered with no heat, yet the temperature is still almost 80F and there is no air circulation so the room gets stuffy very quickly.

  • 4/5 Victoria F. 5 years ago on Google
    Yes, this gym is expensive. It is a very nice setting in which to work out. New, clean and a variety of equipment. For a professional parent with young children, it is extremely helpful. They have excellent childcare and classes for the kids that allow me to get in a workout without feeling guilty about leaving my kids at home waiting. I think the biggest objection when reading other reviews is the price for what you get. The Ardmore location is much smaller then King of Prussia. There is no pool in Ardmore. Even the kids club is half the size and my children do complain about the difference. I imagine the number of classes offered will increase over time as membership and demand increases. Ardmore only opened 2 months ago. There are some basics lacking that should be fixed. Simple stretching equipment offered in King of Prussia is not available in Ardmore yet when I drive to KOP, I see the stretching equipment in constant use. This should be added to Ardmore. The membership I have allows me to utilize all locations so we do go to KOP on weekends and use the pool. My husband works near KOP at attends mid-day yoga in that facility. I agree with others that Ardmore should not be priced higher then King of Prussia. Ardmore is more of a personal training center and basic gym in a luxurious setting where you can order a protein shake on your phone and have it ready by the time you run out the door to work. If you are a busy working parent trying to compress time, you will appreciate that your children can have fun while you exercise and then you can order them a healthy snack/meal to eat before you leave. Lifetime makes it easy to get in a workout, have your nails done, shower and eat in one facility. If you don't need this kind of convenience, then I guess you will consider it a lot to pay for a basic gym.

    The spa (Sauna/Steam room) is nicer than king of prussia, showers are luxorious, however...to charge $180 a month and not even have a lat pulldown machine, seated cable row, hack squat, or any hammer plate or free motion machines, no indoor or outdoor pool, half the free weights and machines that kop has, there's no way this should be considered a higher level club than kop or fort washington. Beautiful place, but they need to add way more equipment.

  • 2/5 Kaitlyn M. 6 years ago on Google
    Smoothie gave me sandy flem from the protein. May be better without protein.

  • 5/5 Tim McGee (Very Special A. 3 years ago on Google
    This Lide Time is amazing! What it lacks in size, it more than compensates with quality. They have amazing classes, and a fitness floor to leave you sweaty and wanting more! Their Café has some really delicious food, and then they have a full-service spa on the lower levels. They do it all, and my wife and I love every time we're here.

  • 5/5 Mekia W. 4 years ago on Google
    Leaf who teaches Yoga here is THEE best! You won't regret taking his class...quick movements, but he lets you go at your own pace, best experience even for beginners! Nearing the end of class, Leaf speaks what I consider to be kind 'words of wisdom!' These words always seem (personally) relevant, offering a different perspective to see thru any situation one may be experiencing, big or small, in a different light!

  • 1/5 Doug S. 4 years ago on Google
    Still Trying To Rationalize What You Get For The Outrageous Fees! As they readied to open, I lived within walking distance and seriously thought about changing from a health club where I'd belonged for more than 20 years. But LifeTime offered a fraction of the equipment, expertise and space of my old place. They had no tennis courts, and no arrangements with any area indoor clubs. When I asked how they justified their stratospheric fees, the answer came that some people like the decor, amenities and the lifestyle they offered. Needless to say, I stayed with my longtime club, AFC Bala Cynwyd. They may not be the sexiest, but they are the best.

    If you want to go where everybody know your name...awesomely supportive healthy lifestyle gym, yoga studio and stupendous locker rooms with spa.

  • 1/5 Meredith S. 4 years ago on Google
    Was very excited for this location to open in the heart of the Main Line. I’ve only belonged to one other gym in the area and liked it a lot, however this location was more convenient. For $180 a month, I would expect a lot more. The Ardmore location doesn’t have a pool and parking is limited despite the new parking garage. A membership at KOP lifetime is $40 less, unlimited parking and multiple pools. I get it’s a convenience factor, however dirty women’s locker room bathroom stalls (complained a month ago and it still hasn’t improved), dirty equipment (sweat drops still on the treadmill I gravitate towards 5 days later), limited classes for those with a normal work schedule (classes accommodate stay at home moms), no heat yoga classes as previously complained about in another review but never fixed, $1,500 more on top of your monthly membership fee for 12 personal training sessions and cold food when it’s overpriced to begin with... I don’t think the $180 a month is worth it. Pretty sure a “diamond” location should have higher standards!

  • 5/5 Joseph W. 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve belonged to a few different gyms, including 2 other lifetime locations and this one is my favorite. Even when it is most crowded you don’t have to wait too long for a machine, if you even have to wait at all. The staff is also great, helpful create an atmosphere which isn’t intimidating like some other gyms can be.

  • 5/5 Jaime S. 5 years ago on Google

    Truly amazing amenities, consistently clean, and great service & classes. Can't ask for much more in a gym. No complaints what so ever

  • 5/5 Sagy L. 3 years ago on Google
    I had a full 90 minutes massage with Timothy. The whole experience was superb, starting from the quick check in and welcoming staff and the massage. He really knew where to press and felt every soar muscle I had, top to bottom.

    The Facility at Lifetime in Ardmore is very clean and all of the staff are very friendly and all the instructors and personal trainers are very knowledgeable, great place to come and workout. The cafe is so nice to sit, talk and relax after a good workout.

    I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Deanna for a cut and color, and I cannot express how thrilled I am with the results and the overall experience. Deanna is an exceptionally talented hairstylist, and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. From the moment I walked into the salon, Deanna's warm and friendly demeanor put me at ease. She took the time to listen to my ideas and concerns, and her knowledge and expertise were immediately evident. She offered valuable suggestions and made sure I was comfortable with the plan for my hair transformation. When it came time for the actual cut and color, Deanna's precision and attention to detail were remarkable. She executed the cut flawlessly, and I could tell she truly cared about the final result. The color she chose for me was perfect, and it complemented my skin tone beautifully. Deanna's skill in color mixing and application was truly impressive, and I left the salon feeling like a brand new person. What sets Deanna apart is her commitment to not only creating stunning hair but also ensuring her clients have a memorable and enjoyable experience. She is an excellent communicator, making sure I was informed about every step of the process. Her friendly personality made the hours in the salon fly by, and I felt like I was catching up with an old friend. In the end, I walked out of Deanna's salon with a fantastic haircut, gorgeous color, and a newfound sense of confidence. I have received numerous compliments on my hair since then, and I am more than happy to refer anyone seeking a talented hairstylist to Deanna. Her skill, passion, and dedication are truly exceptional. If you want a top-notch cut and color experience, look no further than Deanna. I can't wait for my next appointment with her!
