Other than not enforcing masks, everything is super clean and I feel better that the gym is so big it helps to spread out and not be as near to many people. I am okay with them not enforcing masks as I am a pretty healthy, active person and I wear my mask when in the gym anyways.

Ive been going to this gym for a few years - and have attended other gyms over the last 20+ years - Tony is a personal trainer here and does a fantastic job at being meticulous to form and listening. He is very attentive and very knowledgable. Thanks Tony!

Getting back into exercise. Did the Yoga flow and a Strength class as well as used the open gyms. Classes were great and there are plenty of machines and exercise equipment, not crowded at all. All my muscles are aching.

I’ve been a member since about day 1. Love the staff but really love the Barbell class! Kelley and Robin are amazing! Haven’t really had the other instructors but sure they’re great too! Had some health issues but looking forward to getting back to getting back on track!!

Kudos to Lifetime Fitness for offering the best workout opportunity ever! Zumba with Carina is the highlight of my week. Carina’s professionalism, enthusiasm, and warmth make everyone feel included and special. Her classical training, musicality and choreography always leave me in awe of her talent. I highly recommend her class. What a fun way to exercise!

I love taking classes at Life Time Fitness - Apex. All of the instructors are knowledgeable and inspiring! The fitness rooms are set up properly with enough room between participants and sanitized in between classes. I feel safe and motivated!

Every time I walk in Lifetime Apex I am greeted with a smile and cheerful face. I take group fitness classes and I cannot say enough good things about Robin’s, Kristin’s and Kelley’s barbell classes. Music selection is great and these instructors are so knowledgeable and push you so even when I want to give up I don’t because they push me to be better and stronger. I also know if I have any questions and suggestions that they will listen. Studios are kept clean and instructor sanitizes every bench, mat and weights after every class. When I walk through the main fitness floor everything is neat and there are hand sanitizers and cleaning sprays throughout. I wish I could give this gym more than 5 stars because they deserve it. They strive to keep their members happy, healthy and strong!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

LifeTime Apex is a great gym! The classes and instructors are top notch. You get pushed and encouraged all at the same time. No matter the class you take, youll walk out knowing that you did something good for yourself!

Excellent Fitness Trainer - Tony AmmiratiIve been going to the Apex Lifetime for y 6+ yrs. The staff is always friendly & helpful. Ive trained w/Tony close to 3 yrs & he is AWESOME! Hes great at getting to know his clients & what exercises work best for their goals/needs/abilities. During COVID, I was not comfortable going inside the gym but still wanted to train. Tony brought equipment outside & made sure everything was cleaned thoroughly. Hes very professional &considerate & wants to make sure his clients get a good workout & have fun too.

I joined Lifetime Apex in October after years at the YMCA. At the time I thought that it was temporary, until the Y offered childcare again. That has happened recently, but I plan to stay at Lifetime. The classes at Lifetime are so much more challenging. I take a variety of classes with Charen in the mornings, and she is awesome. She really pushes everyone to be their best. The cycle, HIIT, and barbell classes are great as well. It also helps that my two year old is happy and loves his time in childcare.

I joined Lifetime Fitness last year. I love that when I come in Megan and Ben welcome me by name and and with a smile. They are always so great with my kids. The staff in the child watch area are amazing. My kids love to go and hate to leave, and I am so grateful for them. Charlton is a great trainer, he is encouraging and he challenges me, he is also a great instructor. The Zumba instructors at Lifetime are great. I wish the childcare was open longer for infants so I could go to all the classes. Tracey, April and Mariangel are fantastic.

Apex Life Time provides exercise classes with options both inside and outside. In the last year, I have focused on taking zumba, which is offered outside 6 days a week on a consistent basis. Mariangel, Tracey, Carina and April are all exceptional dance exercise instructors who offer multi-level intensity with a sense of exuberance and community. Its joyful exercise that I love even more than ever!

Thank you, Lifetime Fitness Apex for offering so many Outdoor classes during this time! Very much needed workouts with all my favorite instructors, but exclusively Zumba with Carina and Mariangel! Starting off my week and ending my week with them has never been so fun! Both very professional and make coming to exercise a pleasure. You can tell they are loved by all their students!

The facility is clean and well maintained, the bathrooms are impeccable and that is a GREAT deal during these pandemic times. The staff is always helpful and friendly. I love the group fitness classes with Zumba being my favorite, shout out to Tracey, Mariangel and Karina they are THE Best!!! The fact that this gym offered outside classes during those times we could not be inside was THE best thing they could do!!! It gave us a much needed sense of normalcy and I really appreciated!

Apexs Lifetime fitness is an awesome gym! Its very clean and very welcoming, especially the Zumba classes they offer. From starting my week with Mariangels Monday classes, Traceys Wednesday and Saturday classes and Carinas Friday classes all make my week! All of the high level energy, the music, excellent teaching abilities they all bring, makes the whole Zumba experience so much fun!! They are all wonderful people and deserve a lot of credit for the dedication that they all bring and they certainly keep me wanting to come back each time! Come to Lifetime fitness, you won’t be disappointed and you will meet some really great people that I like to call my friends. 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

I love this place specially Zumba classes! MARÍANGEL is the best instructor forever! She makes me feel happy, renewed! She is able to health through her Zumba dance because her energy is innate. I’ve never met somebody like her. For me she is the number 1 on the whole WORLD! Literally she changed my life in a beautiful positive way. I am so thankful you have her in your team! She is very valuable for everyone ❤️😍

I love this gym so much! I have been a member of lifetime gym for years and I love taking their Zumba classes. Shout out to Tracey and Mariangel because their Zumba classes have to be my absolute favorite. These two instructors are so kind and never fail to make their workout classes feel fun and spontaneous.

Zumba classes with Mariangel (and the other instructors too) have been mental lifeline for me during the pandemic. I was so excited that they figured out a safe way to have classes. I have been taking Mariangel’s class outside almost every week since October. Her energy is contagious and the choreography is so fun. Everyone is happy while at Zumba!

My recovery from heart surgery three years ago was in part due to the Lifetime Fitness Apex family. They assisted and encouraged me each day in strengthening my legs, upper body, and core. This helped and made my recovery easier, and the following year, I was a taking a variety of classes, such as Silver Sneakers, Chair Yoga, Barbell Strength, Zumba for Seniors, and utilizing the professional services of Personal Trainers like Maddie and Tony. I love Lifetime Fitness Apex family and their commitment to providing us a clean, safe, and family friendly space in which to achieve our individual goals of physical training. Each time a member checks in at the gym’s front desk, they are greeted by the front desk staff, led by Ronjonek providing a welcoming environment for all of us. New members will be given a tour, often led Nick a senior staff person. One of my personal favorites at our gym is Zo Washington, our gym’s general manager. Kelley Poulk, Studio Manager always finds the best instructors like Charen, Sue, Andrea, Mariaiangelm, Carina, Karen, and Ivania. Kelley also teaches a class, Barbell Strength Training. As stated earlier, I love my gym and feel at home there. I almost forgot to mention one of the most important staff members, Olivia who manages the cleaning services, giving us a more healthy environment at Lifetime Fitness. ❤️ And last, but not least is an outstanding child care center, with a certified staff, led by Chavon and her great staff. The children and parents love this space. 😊

Review №33

Even in a pandemic, the club will not relax the notice period and will forcibly charge me for the whole month even after I stated that I do not feel safe returning back to the gym now that the club is reopening. I do not want to opt for the freeze option and would like the flexibility to reevaluate my decision of coming back to a gym at free will and not because I tied my funds with one gym. I am totally fine letting go of the March credit that was collected after the lockdown started. All I asked them was with the club reopening, I still do not feel safe returning to the gym and would like to evaluate my decision to return to ANY gym once the conditions are risk free and completely safe for me and my family. Extremely disappointed with their lack of flexibility under the current conditions we are living in.

Zumba class with Mariangel is my favorite for many reasons, her energy, her spirit, the way she interacts with her gente is unique. For an hour you forget what is happening in the outside world. Zumba has become part of my life, I have met great friends through Zumba.Zumba is our happy hour!!!!Life time Apex is an excellent gym for offering outdoor classes during the pandemic.

This is a great gym as long as you believe COVID-19 is not a big deal. Mask wearing is not enforced. If by chance an employee walks around then people put on their mask then pull it back down to their chin as soon as the employee walks away. It is actually pretty funny. Again, I would definitely recommend this gym as long as you do not care about the virus.I have since joined the Lifetime Fitness in Cary. They do a superb job of keeping the equipment clean and enforcing safety measures. Each day I see a team of them at a certain time cleaning the cardio equipment row by row. Multiple times I have seen and heard workers asking people to put or fix their masks.

Nick was awesome at following up with me to answer any questions that I had about the gym. I initially looked at other gyms in the area but Lifetime had more of that large gym feel that I enjoy, I know some people like smaller and quieter gyms though. The gym was very clean, locker rooms were clean and also was all of the equipment.

I’ve been a member of this gym for the past 5 years and I love it. I’ve had great experiences with group fitness classes, personal training, and group training. The instructors and trainers are friendly and knowledgeable, and there is a real sense of community here. Management is very approachable and attentive to member needs, and the child care staff is warm and welcoming. My kids actually prefer coming to this location over the larger Raleigh or Cary clubs because they don’t get so overwhelmed. I have nothing bad to say about this place!

Decent gym. Overall it isnt crowded compared to the Cary location, but has basically everything you need. It is always very stuffy and warm in there, and the water is the water fountains is WARM, thats my biggest complaint... I have to bring 2-3 water bottles because I dont want to have to drink the warm water when I refill my water bottle. I also wish the elliptical had the AC built in like the Cary location. Plus, after they did the renovations, I seem to have a hard time to try to find lower dumbbells (5-8lbs) on the floor.

The people when you come through the door are very nice and always diligent about greeting you and the staff is nice. However, I don’t feel it’s a platinum level club to be charging platinum prices. Should probably be a bronze elite charging about 30 bucks less a month. I come from a bronze level in Arizona and these places are identical.This pool always seems booked out and reserved.Also I use the steam room often and it’s always dirty. I’m not sure it’s cleaned every day.Happy to adjust the rating if issues taken care of.

Review №47

I just have to say, I feel special when I walk into this gym. I feel like I am being motivated and taken care of. I have NEVER had a problem. Yes, the new policy to reserve a spot for your infant is annoying but you get over it. In my experience, you can call the day of up to 48 hours in advance. But if they are full, then you just have to cope by punching your pillow (if thats your style). I have taken a few personal trainer sessions, yoga classes, and group fitness classes, I have been VERY happy with everything. I dont have any current complaints and whenever I did in the past, I express myself and then move on. I am glad they dont hold a grudge either!

Review №48

Honestly did not check these reviews before joining the club. However due to proximity we joined to only see all that was reviewed with less than 3 stars are honest and real reviews in just one year. I really dont have to say anything here. Recently, our whole family got sick due to visiting the club. Only thing I did on one Sunday was to goto gym, from next day, Monday - Friday I was sick. Seriously health inspectors need to visit this and close this facility for good. As per the customer service, some rude trainers and staff..I have seen my share of it around here. And all this happened in couple months. For some reason this club is pale, lacks ambience and like a warehouse. Also there guest policy not to bring your kids..is a joke. What will I do with my guest passes..a total waste and gimmick...If you happen to join this club ..good luck , and advanced thanks as you will like my post sooner or later. LOLadios

I have been a member for a few months, and the management is not serious about safety. While some may not take hearing loss seriously, I and others have repeatedly asked for volumes in some group fitness classes to be lowered, but this gym seems to think anyone into fitness should be partially deaf. After initial complaints were not effective, I used a calibrated decibel meter just out of curiosity. The volume in many cycle classes exceeds 105 decibels routinely. 85 is the max safe volume for prolonged listening. People, if your ears are tired or ringing after a class, you just caused damage. I will not sacrifice my ears for physical fitness.For reference, Ive worked out at other fitness centers including other Lifetimes for years, and Ive never been to one that consistently plays music at painful levels and even has some instructors belittle you if you ask for the volume to be reduced.And for those who suggest ear plugs, there is no reason a paying customer should have to be uncomfortable just to protect hearing. 105 (or higher, one class was at 115 as the instructor screams over the distorted speakers) decibels is not justifiable, ever.If you dont care about group classes, its probably fine for you.

Most of the employees here are very friendly and helpful, however one particular staff member named Scott is always rude and making crude remarks. On top of this he has no regard for customer service and blatantly ignores members either by playing catch with other employees or being on his phone. He makes what would otherwise be a nice gym an unpleasant experience.

Very costly unlike planet fitness and the YMCA. Not worth paying 50 bucks a months for a crowded dirty gym. Go to Planet Fitness instead in Cary. Been a member of this gym from June 2009 through June 2012 (3 years). It was okay at the time but gym is always very crowded.

Some of the staff are pretty nice. Most are very aloof and seem self absorbed. Some are down right rude and unfriendly. Has gotten a little better with new front desk staff but not much.

Hello Kelly Matthews,All I wanted to do was just workout today and your fitness center.I arrived on site at the Life Fitness location in Apex at approximately 915am. Upon arrival I inquired with the front desk lady about signing up for a day guest pass. She then proceeded to tell me I would have to sign up, register for a day pass, and wait for an email response and then further respond to some questions before being eligible to receive a guest pass. I then proceeded to follow her instructions. The backforth emails took over 20 minutes. I asked to speak to someone in person or if I could do the process physically in person. After waiting 20 minutes I decided that maybe your gym doesnt value my membership and I am not welcomed.Its sad to say but I have travelled the country and other countries for the past 12 years often. In that time I have visited many gyms such as Golds gym, LA Fitness, Anytime fitness, Crunch, Ballys, 24 hour fitness, planet fitness, and many others. During those visits I have never been told that I cant obtain a day pass in person on the site. Usually these businesses are excited to meet and greet and extend open arms. As such would be good business practice and professionalism.I am new to the Apex area and was just looking for some where to workout. I was interested in purchasing a membership for my wife, kids, and myself. But todays encounter spoke volumes. I dont fault the front desk lady because it is her management team that has poor leadership on how to handle new potential members.I get the vibe if you dont look a certain way you will be treated differently

Im pretty picky about gyms, but this location of Life Time Fitness is great. Theres plenty of space and equipment. I dont really do classes, so I cant speak to that. I just know that when I go to work out, I rarely have to wait to use equipment, which is all I can ask for.

Review №60

This place has had a ton of turnover with respect to general management and that has unfortunately compromised the general upkeep and maintenance of the equipment and facility. Some equipment has sat for months without repair. You ask them to fix the audio and video of the TVs, Bluetooth, etc they dont make an honest effort to do so. Some of this has been going on for 4 months plus.It also seems to be either too hot or too cold in the place an areas of the mens locker room are filthy. The only saving grace is they have some very good trainers.

One of the best gyms you can ever get in the country. Yes country. My work makes me travel around the states. I tried the gym from oct 2015 to Aug 2016. Absolutely amazing.

Review №66

Great location. Pretty good hours. Front desk staff is generally indifferent to the comings and goings of customers. Pretty solid range of equipment, but when you get into the cardio machines, (at least the treadmills), the chances of getting a treadmill where the heart rate monitoring, the TV screen, and the treadmill itself are all functioning properly is hit or miss. You really need to check it all out before you start a run, because I often see people get all set up, stretch, wipe down the equipment, enter in their workout info, start the run, then stop because the TV picture is a hot mess. I have given up on reporting this stuff to the staff, because they clearly dont seem to take corrective action. I found one machine about a year ago where it was abruptly shutting down in the middle of the run. I told the front desk, because this was really dangerous and could lead to an injury, only to come back the next day and see the same machine sitting there with no warning sign, and still unrepaired. Also, they crank the music so ridiculously loud in the group fitness room that it can be annoying to people in the adjacent workout area, so I cannot imagine that can be good for the hearing of the people in the class....I know I have been in a yoga class in the room adjoining group fitness, and we are in the midst of a series of poses, while we can hear the pounding of the workout music in the other room.That said, if all you need is a quick, conveniently located place to get a basic workout done during relatively normal hours, this can fit the bill. Just dont expect too much.

AVOID THIS LOCATION!! I rarely write reviews but this is unacceptable. I have been to lifetime in cary, falls of neuse, wake forest rd & plantation point. This is by far the worst ever. All of the other locations are nice and clean this location however is filthy. It seems like they never clean the machines with sweat stains everywhere. the womens sauna smells like feces!!!!! I made staff aware and it still smells. Youd think with how much money they make theyd go in and replace the wood or something but no.

Run! Do not sign up for this place. It is an awful gym, and they dont care about their members. Our family vehicle recently got broken into while we were at the gym. When the police came they said Oh this happens all the time here because they dont have cameras. The gym is unthical and wrong to not put cameras in. If this happens all the time, and the cops have recommended it then why do they not listen? Our vehicle was not the only vehicle to get broken into either. Another persons truck was broken into with $4000 and a gun stolen. Scary how these robbers now have a gun in their hands. Lifetime fitness needs to speak up and do something about this. If they wont what does that say about what they thing about their members safety, and more importantly the town they get business in. Please choose another gym and show Lifetime fitness how wrong and unethical they are!
