Life Time — Local services in Austin

lifetime is a good club, it’s always been clean and the staff has always been great to work with. I’ve been coming here for two years and love this location. It’s down the street from where I live and easy to get to. During peak hours it is busier than it should be but I just go outside of those hours anyway.

To the people complaining about the water jug get over it, there are water fountains and any normal serious gym goer is going to have a water bottle or not care about a jug. It’s crazy what people complain about.

During peak hours it is very busy and the gym is too small for the crowd, outside of peak hours the gym is always fine. To the guy complaining about 4 am and super late hours. It doesn’t make sense because even at 5am or 10pm there are like 10-15 people in the gym.

They’re always very good about saying if something is gonna be closed. Like the shower thing, I’m pretty sure we were notified a month out about that and they were apologetic about it.

The gym has always been clean, I’ve never thought the locker rooms were disgusting. People comparing to planet fitness are crazy. This place and the people that go here probably wouldn’t step in planet fitness.

It is expensive compared to the larger clubs, but it does come with its perks. You can practically go to any club in the country and definitely the others in austin.

If you’re complaining about the dues, then this probably isn’t the club for you anyway, go to planet fitness or golds where you belong, the Lifetime and us members don’t want to deal with you either.

Im excited for the south Lamar location, but hope they keep this spot...

THE BEST GYM IN AUSTIN.

I've been a member for years. Couldn't imagine going anywhere else. I look forward to going to Pure every day.

The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful. Beto the owner is a super positive and friendly guy. Always has a big smile on his face.

His attitude pours over into the gym and the community. Lots of members are involved in the running, cycling, yoga, rowing, etc communities and include Pure as part of their goal to live a healthy lifestyle.

One of the things I like most is that they hand you a sweat towel and a shower towel (if you need one) when you check in. Then you just drop them off on your way out. It's a small thing, but so important to me.

Pure offers tons of value like that. They go out of their way to make your experience great every time.

Not only are both gyms clean, beautiful, open spaces, the machines and equipment are all in great condition. Classes, offered many times throughout the day, are awesome-spin, yoga, core, etc. I love that the downtown gym is close to the running trail and Whole Foods. The north location has great amenities like the lake and pool.

Plenty of lockers to store your stuff, a smoothie/coffee bar, great locker room with a sauna, tons of televisions to watch while you run on the treadmill/eliptical, etc.

I tell everyone Pure is awesome. Several friends have joined and they gave me a little gift cards in appreciation for the referrals. Another example showing how they care about their members.

Review is strictly in reference to the location on 5th in downtown Austin

In summary this location is run poorly, amenities are never stocked, gym is overcrowded, the hours are insanely disappointing, but the equipment is in fine condition and decent quality.

$230+ a month and they can’t even keep the water cooler filled, despite it sitting right in front of the manager stand. How hard is it to have an employee keep an eye on it or do an hourly refill?

When I signed up this was branded as the “exclusive and elite” location in austin, hence the highest dues. Then you come to find out like half of the people here aren’t even paying members but rather have some deal with their employer or local organization that allows them to workout here. I’m all for this type of thing except when falsely presented that this is an “exclusive” club and despite the space being on the smaller side, it will never feel overcrowded. WRONG. Lines to get into the sauna at 8pm… wow.

I joined this location because of its location convenience for me, but the south location is 100x better at a lower rate too.

Some of the staff is great though, I don’t want to dog on them. Especially shout out to the guy with short hair and red beard, he’s always working on something and very friendly. It comes down to a management issue, as they can’t even seem to keep amenities in stock.

I speak as someone who as been a member of the other “luxury branded” gym and overall it feels LifeTime has solid vision but...
