Life Time - Lakewood, Colorado

Juan M. (.

So much space, equipment, a lot things included. The extra costs I know about would be the optional dedicated stretching expert, office area and the on-site chiropractor. I love that all the classes, alpha training, recovery room and pool are all included. This is a beautiful facility with great views as well and excited to be part of this community. I will have to report back about the experience once it opens tomorrow. The preview tour rally made me excited and everything an be controlled through the lifetime app.

Such a gorgeous facility with great views and good food! The Kids Academy is the best part. Kids can go do activities or tutoring for 2.5 hours a day! 👏👏
As for the reviews saying they're too crowded, it's a brand new facility. Everyone's excited to try the classes and check it out. By May it'll all be fine!

For the amount of money you pay to be a member and have constant dirty courts is unacceptable. I was there for 5 hours today while throw up sat on one of the pickleball courts. At no time did any staff clean it after it was brought to their attention. Earlier in the week mud was caked all over the indoor courts.

The attention to detail and cleanliness need to be upped in a major way. Especially when you are the most expensive club in the entire state.

I’m an internationally-decorated Ironman triathlete, marathon runner, rugby coach and former representative player, and qualified personal trainer. I’ve been using gyms all around the world for ~30 years, with high expectations and good insight into what works and what doesn't. I’m putting my flag in the ground to say this Life Time facility in Denver West is the best I’ve ever used!

I had a personal training session with Master Trainer, *Cassandra Padilla*, after identifying a weakness in my S&C training which I wanted to address as part of my preparation for the Ironman World Championships. Cassandra blew me away with her fantastic knowledge, attitude, empathy, enthusiasm, energy, and professionalism. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to anyone needing help with their training. Whether you’re a total novice or a super athlete, Cassie walks the walk and talks the talk!

I also had a couple of stretch sessions with Stretch Specialist, *Alyssa Loose*, ahead of a recent Ironman race. Like Cassie, she was fantastically knowledgeable and professional, with a great attitude, empathy, enthusiasm, and energy. As someone with a lifetime of broken bones and soft tissue damage, I know I’m not easy to stretch and mobilize, but in just two sessions, Alyssa put my degenerating old body in good shape for my race.

The overall facility has been very well designed and utilized efficiently. The equipment is first rate, and covers the full breadth of training requirements (with the possible exception of power lifters who want to shift serious tin). The lighting—which gyms usually neglect—is good. The indoor lap pool is a rare treasure, and the outdoor one is great too (when members aren't using it as a social club!). The recovery suite is a fabulous value-add for someone like me who’s falling apart! The Kids Club is wonderful, and the enthusiastic staff knew my son’s name after just one session. All the staff are fantastic with great attitudes. The facility is spotless from top to bottom, and enthusiastically cleaned morning to night. There could be more water fountains and cleaning/sanitization stations on the gym floor, but what there is are good.

The one area that lets down the overall facility is the outdoor catering. Service is frustratingly slow, and orders have sometimes been wrong. It’s a very small menu, and the facility is well-staffed, so I’m quite bewildered as to how this isn’t a sick-running machine like the rest of the facility.

Overall, this is a lovely fitness center. I’m mindful you get what you pay for (it’s not cheap), and it’s still shiny and new, so I’ll check back with another review in a year’s time, but right now it get five stars plus from me.

This gym might be new, but it’s already falling apart. The men’s steam room never works, the sauna is constantly broken, and both are rarely, if ever, cleaned. For a facility that’s supposed to pride itself on luxury, these basic amenities are practically nonexistent.

Yes, the building itself is nice—it’s a typical Lifetime aesthetic—but what good is that if the services you’re paying a premium for are consistently unavailable or poorly maintained? Overcrowding is expected at a gym, so that’s not my issue, but when it comes to cleanliness and functionality, this place is a massive letdown.

For the price they charge, you’d expect much more. As it stands now, it’s absolutely not worth it.

HONEST REVIEW ➡️ I am a total gym snob, having had memberships to both Equinox in L.A., and Pura Vida in Denver. I love amenities, and a clean and inviting atmosphere… So we were on the list early when we heard a Life Time was opening up on our side of town.

🏋️ Gym:
The main gym floor is huge with probably about 30 treadmills, plentiful stair steppers, and every single machine you would need, plus tons of free weights and mats located at all corners of the gym. There are also separate rooms for yoga, Pilates, group, fitness. They offer classes like Bootcamp, hot yoga, kickboxing. There are even multiple Pickleball courts available for reservation 🏓

🔐 Women’s locker rooms:
Nice hanging/closet area for winter coats in the front (pictured) Towels everywhere …nice that they are plentiful. They are scratchy but get the job done, and I would rather have that than lugging around a wet towel in my car all day. The fact that they provide make up wipes is a nice extra. Sauna is extra hot and very large🔥 Steam room is hot and always has eucalyptus. Everything is clean, showers are plentiful. Don’t know why they don’t have a cold plunge, unless I have missed that. Hair dryers are very low so you have to bend down on your knees to blow dry your hair and I am not a very tall person.

🥊 Classes:
I have only taken the strike class with Andie so far (twice now), and am obsessed! She is a great instructor. I know this will be a fave for me (pictured).

👧🏻👦🏼Kids center:
Super secure, they print a name tags and put on their backs. Infants are up to a year or until walking, and then there is a toddler room after that. They provide really sweet and fun classes like gymnastics, art, etc.
Note ➡️The infant care center is booked out weeks ahead! So make sure you sign up when the reservations open up -one week before hand. ⭐️ Your membership comes with two hours of free childcare each day!

☕️ Cafe:
There are two sides one is the lounge that has coffee, smoothies, green juice, and some alcoholic beverages. The other side has grab and go items like tuna salad, sliced fruit, and every single bottled beverage you can imagine like Celsius, energy drinks, coconut waters. They had a really nice selection of kids, snacks, and drinks as well. I have had a salad 🥗 so far (pictured-looks like a lot of dressing, but the lettuce was packed in there so tightly it was enough for lunch for My Husband and I both!!) was great value for the money, and delicious dressing.

💆🏻‍♀️Recovery Room:
Compression sleeves, hydro massage, Thera guns, that you can reserve on the app ahead of time.

🧖🏼‍♀️ Spa and Beauty:
Really nice that on most days (besides weekends), you can reserve an on-demand blowout, haircut, facial. They have my some of my favorite products like Eminence organics, and Oribe hair.

…did I miss anything?! Overall I am a fan so far!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's a solid gym but the machines and weights are a bit cramped which gives the perception of being crowded. The facilities are immaculate, nice locker room and amenities, but the weights are up on the 3rd floor with standard stairwell and just not as inviting. It's rated at their top level but imo it's not 🫤

Love a good Lifetime and this is easily the best I've been to. The amenities are just a step up from other gyms including their other Denver area locations with the exception of Flat Irons which is a close second (for me). The attention to detail is so clear from the ultra dim lights in the sauna to the addition of a cold plunge pool next to the hot tub. Also, the weight area just flows so nicely and has adequate room to work around others without feeling cramped. There are many places to post up and pop open a laptop to get some work done which can be lacking elsewhere. I didn't get a chance to check out the club lounge work area, but form a quick walk by it looked amazing, although the cafe areas make great work areas too. Overall, I loved my time here. My home base gym at the moment is LT Centennial, but I hope to be back more regularly in the future. Thanks for letting me check the place out!
