Best swim schools in Phoenix: find options near you

Originally we had the studio plan. We were going to cancel for the cooler months of the year but were told by an employee that if we simply downgraded we could move back to the studio plan at any time without additional charges besides the change in plan cost. We trusted him and did that. When it was time to move back to that plan, we were going to see an additional charge. The manager simply said they couldn’t help that we received incorrect information from THEIR employees. While the gym is fairly clean, some equipment is showing wear and not being replaced. It is often too busy to get to use the weight machines. Also, it’s not fun to see propaganda networks while working out. Far too many other options in the area to stay here. Updated: Generic customer service for Vasa reached out with lackluster assistance and offered to help me cancel. Thanks… (And yes. Fox propaganda is still on the tv… but now it’s on 2 TVs. Weird since the employees say they can’t change the channels. It’s not hard for them or the company to choose a different channel but they won’t. You choose where your money goes.)

I have been a loyal member at this location since February 2022, and the only reason I’ve stuck around this long is because of how incredibly pleasant, welcoming, and accommodating the staff has always been. All of my trainers here have been incredibly cool, starting with Hero, who was my very first personal trainer at this gym. Currently, I work out with Ashley, who is absolutely amazing. She is highly knowledgeable and always goes out of her way to help me out by adjusting my appointments whenever my constantly changing work schedule acts up. ​Unfortunately, the quality of this gym has completely plummeted recently, and it’s getting impossible to ignore. Basic cleanliness has gone out the window. The restrooms are frequently dirty, the trash cans are overflowing with empty equipment wipes that rarely get replaced, and I’ve even spotted roaches on multiple occasions. It’s becoming a total health hazard. ​To make matters worse, the management is ruining the great environment the staff built. The manager, Anthony, is visibly disrespectful and a total prick to his employees right in front of members. Instead of focusing on the gross facility upkeep, he’s busy power-tripping—suddenly enforcing arbitrary rules and making a massive issue out of me using the caged area to stretch, which has literally never been a problem in all the years I’ve been training here.

Jana is my favorite coach she is so much fun! I really enjoy her classes and she is a joy to be around. She lets us know on all the exciting and fun things around the gym and is super knowledgeable. Love her!

VASA Fitness is a fantastic place to work out. The gym itself is big, spacious, and always kept very clean, which makes for a great environment. The group classes are also amazing! I’ve taken two classes with instructor Genine so far, and she is phenomenal. She brings such good energy and support to the room every single time. I definitely recommend checking this gym out!

Spacious, open and bright facility. I didnt feel crowded by equipment or other people working out even during peak busy hrs. They’ve done a great job with cleanliness and are friendly. Great membership prices but in house waters, drinks and stuff are pricey. I wish they had paper towels somewhere in the facility for those of us who dont or cant carry towels with us. There are 4 entrances into the pool/sauna area the two doors from the main area (easiest to get to) are always locked making you go out of your way to the appropriate locker room and wind your way through to get to anything..not a big deal just annoying. They have everything I need to get myself fit for the life I want to live as soon as possible.

I can’t recommend my personal trainer Alexis enough! In just a few months, workout out on a schedule that fits me perfectly, I’ve gained about 4 pounds of muscle, lost 7 pounds of fat, and improved my InBody score by 5 points, which has been so exciting to see. She’s always willing to modify or switch out exercises I don’t like, and I really appreciate that she shares her own insights on what exercises she loves and what’s worked best for her. She’s an excellent communicator, always perfectly on time, and makes every session feel as fun as hanging out with a friend. Beyond the physical results, I’ve gained so much confidence in my body, and I genuinely look forward to our workouts. She’s funny, encouraging, and just such a lovely person to be around. If you’re considering training with her, I truly couldn’t recommend her more! <3

David is an awesome trainer and great coach. He is constantly thinking of new things to keep it interesting. I appreciate the attention he gives to adjusting and suggesting moves to my level. I have also attended red classes where Ashley is taking it vs coaching. Her willingness to assist on form is very appreciated. Many coaches offer encouragement, but these are 2 of my favorite. Jennifer’s Deep Stretch Yoga Flow was just what I needed. Soothing tone with just the right volume and relaxing background music. Poses held a good amount of time with guidance of where the stretch should be felt and how to increase/decrease stretch. Thanks! Appreciate this addition to STUDIO membership.

I cannot recommend this swim school enough!!!! My son has been going there for over a year and absolutely loves it. Literally everyone there is amazing, so sweet and just make you feel like home from the second you walk in. All the staff there pays attention to your kid’s progress, not just their coach and they even celebrate your child’s milestones with you like their own and you can just tell they truly care about every kiddo that goes there! A huge THANK YOU to everyone at Hubbard for all you do, you guys are the absolute best!!!!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Hubbard. Everyone on the staff is so warm and welcoming. They truly made us feel at home. The Baby Splash program was amazing for our daughter. By just 5 months old, she could hold herself on the pool wall! Jack was our instructor, and he is the BOMB! He made every lesson fun, built our confidence as parents, and taught us so much about helping our baby develop water safety skills. We highly recommend Hubbard to any family with little ones!

This school is so amazing! Every single person here is friendly and encouraging and not in a fake or forced way. Everyone does their work with so much integrity and pride that it truly makes me thankful to have such a place for my little one. This place has transformed my toddler’s confidence and mine. Every person here is attentive to kids learning and their potential and they do a great job at meeting kids where they are in their confidence and learning level. Thanks to coach Jack for all the help!

Great to have a nice clean pool to swim in during the winter! A very safe, fun and informative way to learn to swim! My son loves Miss Deb and the team at Hubbard. Would recommend starting at an early age, we waited until he was 1 to start and it took awhile to get caught up, but now I’m proud to be the dad of the demo kid! Thank you Hubbard!

Very friendly staffs, my kid is enjoying and making good progress. Attentive staffs taking good care of kids and making sure kid’s learning process is smooth. Thank you 😊

Love love love this place my baby swimming coach. Coach Chris is the best he’s always super professional and takes his time getting to know the kids and families. 10/10 would recommend.

Hubbard family swim is the best. I have taken my own children there, and now I’m taking my grandchildren. Family owned and loved. Check it out.

My kids having an amazing time dancing with the life guards they are super sweet with all the kids that come here

This place sucks. First off your things are not safe if left unattended even if you have your own table or seating area people will come and take over throwing their things on top of yours. Then the little kids area is full of older kids which makes it not fun for the littles anymore. Lastly the lifeguards suck. They dont do anything. My son whos 5 nearly drowned after the slide and I was screaming at the one in the water and he was not paying attention like at all. Then the lifeguard at the top was even telling him to grab my child and he nonchalantly walks to him as my kid is actively drowning. I will not be returning and if I do I will not be depending on the lifeguards I will take action if needed next time. Shame on you Cortez for allowing this.

I can understand and respect your rules and regard to safety, however I don’t appreciate your team’s ability to insult me to my face and declare me a liar over a very simple misunderstanding. Brought my family here for a nice summer day, only to be met with clear hostility.

It can get a little crowded but its open for the summer.

I brought my kids and their neighborhood friends here a couple times (at least) a week. The staff is comprised of delightfully patient and positive youngsters that are obviously worth far more than the city pays. As much as Arizona cares little for the well-being of the underprivileged and minorities, the lifeguards and staff here are more welcoming and attentive than what one would expect at an exclusive resort.

Raggedy area with raggedy people.. pool gets extremely full …. Nobody really knows how to swim..there are way nicer pools if you’re willing to drive.

The slides are so much fun( especially the orange one) the diving boards are fun

This is a great way to get your child engaged in learning safety and swim skills. I have been taking my boys since each were 13 months old. The bigger one is now 4 and has some great skills this summer! He knows how to swim to safety, climb out of the pool, and dive. The staff is engaging and friendly. Master instructor Coach Conner is a riot in the best possible way. Highly recommend signing your child up for swim lessons here.

We’re so impressed with how fast our kids are learning at Aqua-Tots! My two daughters started in March, and the progress has been amazing. Every instructor they’ve had has been professional, patient, and great with kids. They make each class fun while still teaching real skills. What surprised me most is how excited my kids are to go every time, even though they used to be afraid of water. The instructors really helped build their confidence. Also appreciate how accommodating they are when we’re running late they really try not to waste your trip. Highly recommend for any parent!

My wife and I took our two little ones to Aqua tots and we had a fantastic experience! We would personally like to thank the office staff and especially the young lady, Sicily. Sicily, you are a miracle worker!! My two-year-old was screaming when he first came into the water; under the guidance of Sicily, he was smiling, laughing, kicking and enjoying the water by the end of our first lesson. We saw so much improvement in your first class. Aqua tots is not cheap, but you get every penny worth when you work with Sicily. Thanks again to you and all of the staff for being so flexible. I highly recommend this location.

Absolutely love this Aqua-Tots Swim School! Connor is fantastic—engaging, kind, and really knows how to connect with kids while helping them improve quickly. The entire team is amazing—welcoming, organized, and always helpful. Such a positive experience all around!

I’ve been bringing the child I care for to swim classes with Coach Conner, and the experience has been nothing short of excellent. From the very first class, Coach Conner made him feel safe, comfortable, and excited to learn. Coach Conner has a fantastic way of connecting with kids — he’s patient, encouraging, and knows how to make each lesson both fun and productive. I’ve noticed a big improvement in the child’s confidence in the water, as well as steady progress in his swimming skills. Coach Conner takes the time to explain techniques clearly and always makes sure each child gets personal attention. What I especially appreciate is his focus on water safety alongside skill development. It’s reassuring to see a coach who truly cares about each student’s well-being and growth. I would highly recommend Coach Conner’s swim classes to any parent or caregiver looking for a supportive, professional, and engaging instructor. He’s truly made a positive impact

I have watched my son gain confidence in the water. He has transitioned from crying and being afraid of putting his face in to the water to jumping in from the side when it’s his turn. Coach Linda and Coach Katherine have been great with him. They are patient, they are firm, they encourage a fun learning environment while placing safety first.

Great swim school for a reasonable price. The coaches are patient with our energetic kids and quick to keep them on task and engaged. The facility is very clean and properly maintained. The central location provides a quick and easy access from the surrounding areas. The staff have great customer service skills and positive attitudes. Whenever we have had a minor issue the management team is quick to respond and assist us with our needs or concerns.

Coach Joe is the best! my son has been going for private lessons for a year now and it has been great. My son does have certain social challenges and Coach has been nothing but patient, understanding, accommodating and always striving to make my son’s experience the best. As a special needs mom I couldn’t ask for a better experience for my son, he has truly bonded with Coach Joe and I love to see my son learn new things.

We absolutely love Aqua-Tots Swim Schools! The coaches and staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and encouraging. Coach Nala and Coach Elayzha have been amazing with my daughter and have made such a positive impact on her confidence in the water. After only two lessons, we already noticed a huge difference in how comfortable she felt in the pool. Now, after 15 lessons, she has learned so many valuable new skills and genuinely looks forward to every class. It has been incredible watching her progress and grow more confident each week. We are beyond happy with our experience and truly cannot recommend Aqua-Tots enough!

We love Aqua Tots! My daughter has been taking lessons since she was 9 months and is now almost three. We love all the coaches and especially coach Jo! She has learned so much here and I would highly recommend to anyone interested in swimming lessons.

The staff is super friendly and know how to work with kids. My daughter started out super scared of going under water and after just a few sessions, she’s wanting to go to the bottom by herself! They also don’t let kids get away with whatever which is nice because my daughter has been pushing her limits lately and it’s nice to see her learning she can’t do whatever she wants whenever she wants. Definitely recommend.

I take both of my kids to Aqua-Tots. My oldest is just 2 years old and has already almost learned to swim, which really speaks to how great the systems are. It’s a safe, structured, and caring environment. Our whole family is so pleased — recommend!

Let me summarize this very quickly. Use to be great, now rundown with broken equipment that doesn’t get fixed for months, if at all. All while steadily raising your monthly dues and not maintaining the gym. Summary… •Constant Broken Equipment, missing grips, missing or broken pins on weight machines (see photo) •Recovery Chairs have been broken for months and reported to management several times. They know, but don’t fix. (See photos) Soap Dispensers filled with water, NOT soap, but water for weeks! Big health hazard. Reported to front desk and they said, “we know, the soap is on back order”. YOU KNEW AND DIDN’T GO BUY SOAP AT COSTCO OR WALMART IN THE MEANTIME?! Are you kidding me?! If you want to act like LA Fitness, change your name and drop your rates. If you want to be an elite gym, do a lot better. And I held off a long time before blasting Lifetime Scottsdale on here, so do better please.

Absolutely my favorite gym of all time. It’s more than just a gym. My son and family literally spend all weekend and almost every day after school here for hours. It’s a wonderful one of a kind membership. Everything is so clean, classes every hour, locations all over the country and all the equipment you need. Kids academy is an amazing time for kids.

Lifetime fitness North Scottsdale is such an amazing gym! Seriously thank you Billy, Britanny, Jeremy! Morgan! Omg I can’t believe I can’t remember her name but the really pretty one with the Glasses that always helps me out in the morning! You’re amazing! Logan bro, stay golden man! You are the man! Ethan you just made me love pickle ball today I’m gonna be exploring that through the Phoenix valley trying to rank up from my current 2.0 status lol. Taylor you are also the man and any other operations guy or girl who has been so helpful! Nick you got me loving swimming and taught me so much! Thank you for all your help! And all the other swim instructors that gave me tips! That apple one I use daily! And two people who are the most special one I won’t mention her name cuse you are special! People need to discover you cuse you offer so much value to the members here thank you so much for taking a chance on me! And most of all Kam! You have no idea how thankful I am of you! You knew I needed a Love My Life moment and you gave it to me! Love my Life is my new slogan! And anyone reading this don’t look at the price of this gym!!! The price is literally worth every Penny! So much value for the amount you pay!

I never really leave reviews, but I had to after my intro stretch with Casie (I think that’s how you spell her name 😂). She was super easy to talk to, made me feel really comfortable, and explained everything as we went. I left feeling so much better, and it’s been a few days now and I still feel amazing. I honestly didn’t realize how much I needed it. I’ll definitely be back and would 100% recommend booking with her!

I’ve been a loyal member for years, and it’s honestly disappointing to see the condition this gym has fallen into. The locker rooms and sauna are consistently dirty, outdated, and poorly maintained. The sauna especially feels neglected grime buildup, bad smell, and clearly not cleaned nearly enough. What really pushed me to leave this review was getting an email saying my membership rate is increasing with barely a month’s notice. When I questioned why loyal members are paying more while the facility conditions continue getting worse, I got no real explanation or effort to keep my rate the same. If rates are going up, the cleanliness and upkeep should at least reflect it. Right now, it feels like members are paying more for less.

Have been to every club in the Valley, including the other Lifetimes. The folks at the North Scottsdale Lifetime Fitness are in a league of their own. Forward facing staff always immaculate and accommodating, the facilities always spotless- the whole place is just laid out well. The other locations should take a long hard look at your fixed operations and mimic them. Kudos!

I’ve been a member at this LifeTime for years, paying for memberships for my wife, two kids, and club swim. It’s not a small monthly expense. A few weeks ago, while parked in a designated front pickup spot waiting on my kids from swim practice, another member berated me and threatened bodily harm, in front of my children, over the parking spot. I reported the incident to the club and asked for a callback from the GM. After several days of silence, I called again and was told someone would follow up. A day later I received a voicemail from Kamery Garlick. I returned the call within 20 minutes, got voicemail, and left a message requesting a callback. That was nearly a week ago, and I still haven’t heard anything. I understand LifeTime can’t control the actions of another member, but I do expect a basic level of care when a safety incident involving my kids is reported. Going almost two weeks without a real conversation about a threat made on club property is unacceptable for a business charging this much for membership.

My daughter goes to the summer program through parks and rec at this facility. This is her third summer and it has created a confidence and maturity in her that truly can only be credited to the kind, caring and amazing staff and volunteers there. A huge thank you to Mrs. Sarah, Mrs. Misty, Mr. Connor and everyone else that puts so much love and energy into giving our kiddos a memorable summer every year. We love you very much!

Amazing upgrades to shade! My kids are so excited to swing in the shade now!! The community center inside has so much to offer too!

For 20 dollars I’m not you can have a membership there and have access to their gym they have indoor racquetball courts and they also have 610 sports outside they do have an outdoor pool however it’s not open I think they’re resurfacing it and if you don’t want to pay $20 for the yearly membership you can pay $2 or $3 to go for the day I just wish that their pool was finished other than that I think this place is well worth it to visit and everyone that works there is very friendly and Young bless the tennis courts are lit up and maintained well and the indoor gym and the racquetball courts are also really nice the employees are very well behaved and respectful.

A well-maintained facility with courts for games, and plenty of space to relax and spend time with kids and pets.

Easy to find and lots of parking. The park was clean as well as the grass areas, minus some sketchy cars parked around its a nice spot to walk around

Always fun! The staff is the best!!

Staff was friendly and showed around the place. Was looking for a place to host an event on Saturday. However they are open only till 12 pm on Saturdays and need approvals to stay open for an extended event.

I really wanted to love Lylo. As a local I kinda hoped this would be a place I looked forward to revisiting through the summer. Unfortunately the overall experience didn’t seem to match what they’re asking guests to spend in my opinion. I booked a day pass and went to enjoy happy hour. When I got there someone pointed me vaguely to my numbered chair and everything else when I got there. I asked to change spots to be more in shade and not right by pool steps. The server was super nice, but service was spotty and it was pretty quiet on a Monday afternoon. I probably would have had a few more beers and maybe ordered food but no one asked. When I asked to close out there was an extra drink on my tab which they did take off, one of my drinks was not happy hour price which I noticed too late, and I think the MOST bizarre thing was the 20% auto gratuity. I mean I would have anyways.. but it seemed to make sense at that point why the whole experience was underwhelming. Music not a vibe, the water was warm, service level well below what one would expect at a boutique concept hotel. I think there are plenty of resorts with larger, less warm pools and better service. Lylo’s smaller space should be its greatest strength, but the staff treating it like a “small” space is having the opposite effect.

This was actually a really great spot. I was staying at the hotel so it was very convenient and we were able to reserve lounges each day. The service was great. Pitchers of water when you arrive. Lots of food and drink options. Food was actually really good and decently priced. Overall I was very impressed with this place !

Such a fun and relaxing pool experience. Chris was absolutely incredible, world class customer service. If you’re looking for a fun yet laid back pool time Lylo is the place to be!

I prepaid for a reservation, but when I arrived they had no space available and told me to request a refund by email. I then waited about 20 minutes in the bar area with no acknowledgment before having to approach staff myself. The drink I ordered was not consistent with what other guests received—smaller portion, different presentation, and missing garnish (photo attached). This felt disorganized and inconsistent, especially with new management. I would not return unless these issues are addressed.

We came on Sunday of a holiday weekend, got there early. Had 2 loungers by the pool. The drinks were good and they had a special holiday menu that was nice and affordable. The dj was good and they had some giveaways. Our server was a little disappointing, no personality whatsoever and not checking in very often but it was packed and he was new, so maybe just overwhelmed. The pool towels and chair covers/cushions need to be replaced or upgraded. They are very thin and worn. We do like that the pool has some shade which is nice in AZ!

This is a fun and chill place but the service was a little chaotic. Be aware that if you book chairs online it is apparently not guaranteed! We made a reservation for 3 lounge chairs. When we first arrived, they said they only had 2 available. The person checking us in was very hostile about it. Had some back and forth because they tried to claim that it says on the website that it was based on availability and hotel guests had already taken chairs. OK? But we spent $75 per chair and we want what we paid for? That’s what a reservation is?? They were very rude about it and then tried to make it like it was our problem. But they did end up giving us 3 chairs after we asked 3 times since we noticed they were empty. They made it right but the attitude was not needed. Then it was a 30 min wait every time we ordered drinks. We would have ordered way more but it was a hassle to get some. paying our tab at the end was also a complete mess. This is a very cool place to hang out with friends but they reeeally need to get organized. Also the DJ was insanely loud.

Only giving two stars because the property itself was super clean and the ambiance was really nice. The guy who checked us in, along with the manager who was assisting him on his first day, were both very sweet and welcoming. Unfortunately, once we finished checking in, things went downhill. We were staying in a cabana and never had a server come by, so we eventually went to the bar to order our drinks. The bartender’s customer service was honestly terrible. He had an attitude the entire time and made us feel like we were inconveniencing him. I ordered a Dole Whip, and he told me to take the one he had placed on the bar, which was clearly my friend’s drink. He then walked away while I was still standing there and said, “Oh, you wanted one for yourself?” It was just a very strange and unprofessional interaction. We also ordered another drink, only to be told they were out. We chose something different, but then watched him make several of the original drinks for other customers. There was no explanation or communication about it. Then came the billing issue. We were initially given a bill for $940, which clearly wasn’t ours. Once they corrected it, our actual total was less than $180. We paid the correct amount and left. About an hour later, we found out that my friend’s card, which had been left on file, had still been charged the $940. Overall, it was extremely disappointing. The cleanliness and atmosphere were great, and the check-in staff were wonderful, but the lack of customer service, the experience at the bar, and especially the billing situation completely ruined our visit. We would have loved to come back, but unfortunately, we won’t be returning.

This is a great park with plenty of areas to spread out. Lots of nice picnic areas, basketball courts, pickleball, a skate park, two different walking tracks, and, of course, the pool and waterslide. There is also a large area accessible to the south of the park (which may or may not be part of the park) where you can go for a longer walk or run. The bathrooms are clearly handled by a septic system that is apparently above ground. If it is windy enough, you can literally smell them from over a half mile away. I have run in this park enough times to know exactly what the distance is. But, that isn’t very frequent, and overall it is a very nice park.

Always a good experience here with the kids. They have their rules in place and follow them well, without being overbearing or ruining any fun. The space is well managed. Could use a few more tables for seating.

My kids and i love this place never to crowded you can bring your own food and drinks. The staff are awesome people so nice and friendly. Plus its super cheap so i bring extra kids when we come.

I only wish it had more shade to enjoy when you are outside of the pool. Fun for family and friends in the summer and has water slides.

its a good pool, but when we tried to go the first time, it said it was open, but it was closed when we got there

Compared to other Lifetime locations I’ve visited, this one ranks among the best. The club is a clean, spacious, modern facility with a great overall layout. There’s plenty of workout equipment, weight machines, group fitness classes, and well-maintained wet areas. The staff was abundant and attentive, the café was well stocked, and the Kids Club team did an excellent job with my little one. I especially enjoyed the outdoor rooftop pool and patio area — very spacious and relaxing. Parking was convenient and easy to access. The only minor drawback for me was that the cold plunge was a bit smaller than I’m used to, but overall this is a top-tier club and a great experience.

This place is more of a luxury spa than a gym. They have a rooftop pool, bar, cafe, hot tubs, and saunas, in addition the standard Life Time offerings like gym machines and workout classes. The view of the sunset from the roof is amazing. But for the price, you better make really sure you’re gonna come here regularly and make the most of it.

This is my favorite Lifetime location by far. The staff is very friendly and the gym offers all the best amenities! I’m always greeted in the morning with a smile by Val and his team and the training staff really help set you up for success. The locker room is large and has top of the line toiletries stocked while the wet room offers a sauna, steam room and cold plunge. Very happy with my membership!

I LOVE this LifeTime location! The facilities are fantastic, they have everything you could want and more, and the staff is so friendly and helpful. It really feels like a community. Tyler who teaches pilates has truly changed me and my fiancé’s life lol, our back pain is gone plus his classes are so entertaining and always brighten our mornings. Also shoutout to my girl Michelle at the front desk who is SO kind and welcoming and makes me look forward to my afternoon workouts- I seriously missed her so much when I had to go to the Scottsdale location for a few days. She also totally made my mom’s day by telling her she was pretty when she visited for a day 🙂 If we decide to buy a house in Phoenix, we will be looking in this neighborhood so we can stay close to this gym!!

BEWARE!! DO NOT SIGN UP HERE!! This life time fitness gives lifetime a bad reputation. I have been a founding member since this place opened. Let me tell you about this place. Since this place opened there is on going issues that are never fixed, they just bandage the issues. Between the outdated machines that are all in need of servicing. Also the sauna, steam room and spa area that is always having problems. It’s ridiculous!! I signed up with my sibling in 2020 and it was 280. Fast forward to 2026 now it’s 400 for both of us and nothing is fixed at this place. It’s gone backwards but prices increase. 2 months ago the men’s locker room had 4 working showers and a long line would form at 7 am with everyone who wants to shower. I took my concern to Val Mendoza and I was met with no sympathy, no accountability. I shared how I pay a premium price not to wait in a line ,to shower. I asked to give me access to fashion square because that is also next to me. All I got was no accountability from lifetime fitness. So I asked to speak to SR GM Steve who was much better at solving the issue. Now 2 months later the gym gets shut down by the fire department because it’s unsafe for members to be inside. This place doesn’t care about their members! Do not come here you will be greatly disappointed. This location gives all lifetime locations a bad name. Do better lifetime!!! Horrible place

I really want to love this gym but I agree with other comments that the price does not justify the amenities. For example, the Biltmore gym is the only gym that stop childcare in the afternoons. If I am paying more than Gilbert, North Scottsdale, and Tempe, I expect to have the same if not more hours of childcare available. Another inconvenience is that the rooftop pool does not have a hot tub which is a large oversight from their design team. When I addressed these issues with management they loosely said they would not do anything about either problem until more people complained.

I’ve tried really hard to like Lifetime, but I just don’t feel like it’s worth the steep membership cost. Childcare staff are wonderful, but aside from that, things are always broken. I get emails weekly about amenities being unavailable. The weight room is extremely crowded, and they run classes simultaneously in the morning (one on the treadmills and one on the squat racks), both BLASTING music, on top of the normal music that plays for the rest of the gym. It’s insane. I can barely hear what’s in my own headphones. Staff is generally friendly, but for what you pay ($500+/month for us), it’s just too crowded and lacks a lot of the things a normal gym should have (turf, sleds, dedicated stretching areas, more than 10 exercise mats, more than one smith machine, etc).
