Life Time — Local services in Houston

It’s a nice gym—visually. The layout is a bit odd. I noticed there are no squat racks on the second floor, it’s only reserved for the first floor. You can use them only when there are no classes being held. That already holds some limitation to your membership. I don’t know the names of my machines but I do believe where the power rack (second floor next to the weights) and the other machine next to it—the mirrors should extend to cover those machines. I believe this is necessary for those that need to correct their form and to help improve it. I don’t use the cafe, spa, coffee bar or any of those amenities so I can’t say anything about those. I like the options of the classes. Take advantage of those. I do believe they missed an opportunity on not including a lap pool. It would of made the membership worth it. I guess people really wanted that workspace area. I hope it’s being utilized… Other than that, it’s okay. Something definitely has to change to reflect the monthly membership—the value isn’t there yet.

Three years later, update:

The cleanliness has diminished. The sanitary stations sometimes lack wipes, and there are no paper towels available to dry surfaces after sanitizing. I understand that the sanitizing solution needs to sit for a while, but it’s still inconvenient. The front desk service varies depending on who is working—majority it hasn’t been great. While I don’t mind staff hanging around and conversing with one another, an acknowledgment would help maintain a positive and welcoming atmosphere(at the front desk). The floor of the shower areas are often filthy.

On the positive side, the gym has improved its equipment. They’ve added a whole cable area, which helps balance equipment usage and reduces wait times. I still haven’t used the café downstairs, so I can’t comment on that. The workout classes are still worthwhile (yoga, strength, mat pilates), I love that I can just look up the schedule on my app. For Alpha classes, they provide the schedules online, so you can plan your workouts around them and use the equipment on the first floor more effectively. I’ve used the salon area; it’s convenient, but I wouldn’t rely on it for all my haircuts

Lastly, I’m still bummed that this location doesn’t have a pool. I would like to see numbers on who is actually using the LifeTime Workspace because I feel that adding a lap pool would have made the membership much more valuable. Oh, I forgot to mention, I now drive to this gym since I moved buildings, and I’m happy about the parking validation. Overall, this gym is convenient in location but has room for improvement. I still...

Fabulous place. Friendly staff. Mr. George and Mr. Afzal assembled a great time that is energetic and provides quality service. As an added bonus they remember all the names :)

I want acknowledge personal trainer Mr. Noah. He spent multiple hours on onboarding assessment and to come with a fitness plan. Excellent trainer. Always available to answer any fitness related questions. Noah is very genuine, body builder with relevant education and passion for personal training.

They have tons of group classes for yoga, strength, pilates, cycling, etc. Lot of thought has been put into each class. Right when cycling class is about to end, they show up with cool scented towels, right after yoga class they get a bag to collect towels in a convinient manner. It looks like someone thought about how to make each aspect of fitness better and group classes easy.

Parking is very straightforward. They validate it so it's free. All the fitness mechines are hightech. You can scan a code and watch, pilates, cycling, etc. Lot of thought has been put into each class.

One advantage of being a member with Green Street club is that you can access almost all other clubs near by with an exception of one...

Love the gym; it's new; it's awesome; friendly staff; awesome trainers. Debated if it's 3 or 4 and choosing 4 because it is nice and they're nice.

What could improve is there's literally one bottle of hand sanitizer in the whole gym. It tells you in one bottle what they feel about covid. This gym was literally built during the pandemic and there's not a single wall hand sanitizer. I guess you can use an equipment wipe; pretty weak. Also hopefully they they weekly deep cleans because cordless vacs and swiffer mops aren't gonna cut it in a locker room. it's gonna begin to look bad quickly. Finally each wipe station needs a refuse cans, it should be obvious.

What's also not cool is parking validation is only 3 hours and after it's $5 (awesome if you wanna go bowling or to a concert) but if you wanna have lunch, get in a massage and hit your workout, it's $5 and they don't offer an extra validation, all while I'm spending money, again not cool. Parking convenience is better that most lifetime's however.

Finally it's the hours, not open as early or a late as other lifetimes. Is this a special abbreviated lifetime? Is the thinking because we have less amenities we don't need as long hours? That's kinda reverse thinking if it is. Or maybe it's because our clientele is downtown workers? But then open earlier. Regardless, closing at 5pm on the weekends is a bit of a rip, I figured it was due to the pandemic (but then see my comment on hand sanitizer) at least close at 7. I feel bad for those that signed up at other clubs under the guise of 24 hours yet are still paying their full amount. Hopefully Greenstreet will they extend hours soon, maybe after their other locations go 24 hours. Or hopefully they don't use the pandemic as an excuse to turn into a normal hour gym because 24 hours was a draw.

Needs another seated militarily press bench upstairs. Downstairs could use seated calf raise or the elusive hip thrust barbell machine that no gym has. (It's a vanity workout and would be a draw for many). Needs a pull up bar.

Hopefully this gym goes 4-11 every day like their other gyms (some do midnight). They're taking advantage right now and need to rectify it; we're paying a premium. Great gym, work on logistics.
