Life Time - Rochester Hills (MI)

5 /5 Kyle Madak: Jeff McMahon, personal trainer at Lifetime Rochester, is one of the best! Ive been in my fitness journey for 13+ years and he still showed me new things that Ive never even heard of. He is very relatable with a lifetime of experience training himself and clients at all levels. Highly recommend Jeff, and this facility in general - always have a great time coming in. Energy is high and people are kind.

1 /5 Jillian Job: bloody towel left on the top of the squat rack is craaaazy. the gym and the bad apple clientele make me give this gym a 1 star. I have never seen such a dirty, messy weight room. there are towels left EVERYWHERE. people also leave the sanitizing rags on the machines or floors when there are countless garbage cans everywhere. almost nobody reracks their weights, and if they do, they stack them in a disorganized mess. I once saw a barbell with 2 45s on it that was almost out of reach for me at 5 6" with long arms. luckily I am strong enough to take the plates off, but I could see people shorter or with less overhead strength being unable to. I also constant see people hogging up sought after machines either staring at their phone for well over 5 mins between sets, walking away for several minutes at a time while leaving their stuff there to "mark their territory," people super setting machines during peak hours, people standing by the machine with their stuff on it while talking to another person for 10+ mins. the disrespect and lack of common courtesy is astounding. dont even get me started on the alpha classes! they go from 5ish to 7 or 8, which are peak hours. I avoid the gym at these times because the class music is so loud and obnoxious I can hear it through my noise cancelling bose headphones. its also terrible music in which they dont even play the entire song to boot. they take up 8 of 13 squat racks at PEAK HOURS. if youre looking to use the weight room after work, avoid this gym unless youre willing to go at 8pm. also crazy to spend $270 a month and be told "no" when you ask the attendants if you can use the resistance bands they have for the classes, even outside of the class hours or when there are no people in the class. they dont have any loop resistance bands on the floor. the gym equipment is in terrible condition. there are machines that sit broken for months before anyone tries to fix them. they have one hip thrust machine, and people practically fist fight over it. the weight room is way too small for how busy it is, despite having a whole HUGE glass-walled room that Ive never seen anyone in any time Ive been there. you also cannot use the pool after work because they have kids programs that take up the entire lap pool, indoor or outdoor. so you cant rely on being able to swim unless its before 5pm or after 8pm. why do my boyfriend and I keep paying $270 a month for this place? because it has the pools, a lot of cardio, and everything else we need compared to other gyms that are weight-lifting focused. we both weightlift and do cardio/swim. unfortunately, its Stockholm syndrome at this point until we can find a gym that offers everything we need.

5 /5 Zacherie Luc: So far no issues. Signed me and my wife up. 270 a month. It was a lot of money a month but if you use the amenities this place has to offer its well worth it. I suffer from back pain...so being able to get a good lift in, then use the steam shower, hot tub and then a shower afterwards is a big thing fir me. Having a pamper day instead of working out is awesome here to. There is a lot of snotty people that work out here so be cautious of that. The workers here seem ok so far. Said hi to a few of them and get no response. Our concierge person I will update his name took us on a tour. Was not pushy said we can come back anytime or register online....that was nice to have that when we live in a day where people are pushing...this gym does not they have an attitude of sign up or dont and had a great pride to show us everything. Beach club looks nice but not needed for the extra fee. I plan to use everything this gym has to offer and get in better shape. One thing I noticed is the members at this gym are very fit so if your coming from a lower type of pricing gym and your not in shape it can be intimidating but besides the few snotty people.....its great. Gym always looks jammed and packed on the outside but take notice that you dont see that on the inside...its so big and people are doing other things that the actual working out areas are not crowded....not even busy.

2 /5 Robert Sanders: This place is stupid busy and really dirty. By 6am the men’s bathrooms are so covered in pee they’re unusable. I cringe if I need to use the bathroom on the way to the gym in the morning because I know I’ll have to sit in someone’s urine. The morning crowd is better than the afternoon. By 6pm not only are the bathrooms still covered in pee, but there are dirty towels and plastic bags in every shower stall, bathroom stall and steam room. And by this point someone’s covered the steam room sensor with wet paper towels making it so hot it’s past any safety guidelines and unusable. There’s a row of massage chairs that are unplugged and not working. The two working chairs are always in use except very early or late so don’t expect to actually be able to use the equipment. The rowing machines have had dead batteries for weeks, and in general the equipment is not maintained well. I signed up here because I’d been a member at another club and wanted a gym close with spa amenities. This place is much much dirtier than the other lifetime I’d gone to and I’m shocked for $200/mo they can’t clean the toilets or replace the batteries in the equipment. I’ve gone nearly every day since joining, sometimes twice, at all times early and late, and it’s consistently dirty and disheveled and you’ll never get to use the massage chairs on your cool down without waiting in line.
