I visit Life Time in Eden Prairie every morning and various evenings each week. The staff greets you each day and everyone is very friendly. The locker rooms are clean, have nice products to use when getting ready and the lockers are rarely busy. The workout space is clean, well maintained and has nice bright windows letting in a lot of natural light. The pool is great and the dining options are fantastic. The instructors of each class are absolutely amazing - they get to know you by name if you talk to them after or before class, they give you a challenging workout and one of my personal favorite classes (Yoga Sculpt) has lavender infused towels passed out while you're relaxing at the end of class....SUCH a treat after a tough workout. Another great thing about this facility is the location. Within steps outside the club's front door are running paths and trails that have great views of Purgatory Creek and connects to Staring Lake as well. Compared to other fitness gyms and other Life Time locations I have belonged to in the past, Eden Prairie Life Time feels like such a retreat each day I visit! It's a classy place with everything you need and more to enjoy a full workout and...
Read moreI've been a Life Time member (on and off) for about 20 years. At this season of life (family of 7), Life Time is one of the core parts of our family life.
The leadership and staff at this location is friendly, professional, and very hard working. They strive to provide a VIP type of experience for guests, and it shows.
Over the past 9 months, my wife and I discovered their Alpha group fitness classes -- these have been a revelation to us! We are hooked on attending these classes. These classes are a bit like Cross Fit, but a bit more approachable (by that I mean, slightly less technical in nature than some Cross Fit workouts tend to be). The trainers that lead these classes are excellent.
We also enjoy having access to indoor and outdoor pools, tennis, pickleball, and locker rooms with sauna and steam room.
The child care provided at this specific location has been exceptional over the years. Our children are in good hands here. One aspect I appreciate is that children are not allowed to bring in their own devices to the child center. Our children are encouraged to read books (or listen to books read aloud by Life Time team members), do crafts, or even participate in their own...
Read moreNot a typical Lifetime. Usually most Lifetimes are consistent in quality from coast to coast but I was surprised at this club. After visiting a few other Onyx level gyms(lower tier) in the area that are fantastic, I thought for sure this was going to be amazing. But I was wrong.
As someone else mentioned, this is more county club then gym. With mostly retirees it seems as its clientele. Here are my issues. The gym is tiny compared to other lifetimes. The locker room is small. Limited equipment and it feels like you are working out on top of other people. Cant even imagine this place on a Monday. I ended up just leaving in the middle of my normal routine I was so annoyed.
The lifecafe is also tiny but for some reason they have a whole sushi and steak restaurant. As well as full bar. It is like they forgot this is a gym. I think that is nice but not when it seems like they sacrificed the workout area.
The staff was cordial and there is also indoor tennis courts if your into that.
Can't fathom paying diamond level prices if this was my full time gym but apparently people do.
If you are serious about a complete workout, I would suggest...
