Shout out to Josie inside the LifeSpa! Gave an awesome tour of the facilities and the spa area was well taken care of. Super nice location.
Jay, the bartender was amazing! She loves her job and it shows. She made a killer Old Fashion, had a positive and upbeat demeanor and her bar area was neat and inviting to guests.
Will for sure be back to this location!

I’ve been working out with Sebastian and couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very first session, he took the time to understand my goals and created a workout plan tailored to my needs. He is incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and supportive, pushing me just the right amount to help me improve without feeling overwhelmed.

What sets Sebastian apart is his attention to form and technique, ensuring I get the most out of every workout while preventing injuries. He’s also super encouraging and makes each session both challenging and enjoyable. I have notices a huge difference in my strength and endurance, and I’m excited to keep progressing!

If you’re looking for a skilled and personable trainer who truly cares about your success, I highly recommend Sebastian!

I don’t understand why other reviewers were unhappy. I’m a lifetime member in New York City and was in California visiting a friend so we checked out the Walnut Creek location together. It’s huge, clean, and the staff were all professional and polite. It was nice getting a workout in during vacation and I really enjoyed the recovery area which had 2 hydro chairs. I had a yummy chicken sandwhich at the cafe. Overall I cannot think of one thing I’d like to see improved.

I absolutely love the concept of Life Time Gym. While it’s not perfect, it offers a wide range of amenities and services that go beyond a typical fitness center. The customer service is excellent—staff members are attentive, helpful, and do a great job of listening and providing guidance when needed.

The facilities are well-maintained overall, though some areas, like the common spaces, could be a bit cleaner given how heavily they are used. That said, the locker rooms are kept in decent condition despite high traffic.

The only major issue I’ve noticed is with the plumbing. As a new three-level building, there seem to be significant P-trap problems, leading to a sewage smell that lingers throughout the facility. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like management fully understands how to resolve this, which is disappointing.

Despite this, Life Time remains a fantastic place to work out, offering a great atmosphere, quality equipment, and a variety of services and classes that make it stand out from other gyms.

I have had the absolute privilege of having Sebastian as my personal trainer for the past 2 months. Not only has he helped me achieve my goals of strengthening my body and losing weight, but he has been an inspiration, a life coach, and a friend. He helped to hold me accountable, gave me confidence that I could reach my goals, and made sure I showed up and worked hard at each session. Sebastian is very good at his job as a trainer- he is knowledgable, creative, and knew how to adapt each exercise to my body type and ability. He pushed me to strive for more and was always a positive encouragement throughout each session. This experience has been well worth the time and money and if I had the opportunity to work with Sebastian again, I would do it in a heartbeat! My friends and family all commented on how good I looked and how much positivity and energy I carry now! What a blessing and boost to my life that I needed so bad.

I can't recommend Zoe at Lifetime Spa enough! She's a true artist when it comes to hair color and cutting. Not only does she have an amazing eye for choosing the perfect shade to complement your skin tone, but her cutting technique is precise and always results in a style that grows out beautifully. She takes the time to listen to what you want and offers expert advice to help you achieve your hair goals. The atmosphere at Lifetime Spa is lovely, and Zoe makes every visit feel special. Whether you're looking for a complete transformation or a refresh of your current style, Zoe is your go-to stylist. Her attention to detail and genuine passion for her craft really sets her apart. Definitely a 5-star experience!

We had an appointment to check this gym and called in advance to see if we can use their pool while visiting. The guy we talk to said they don’t do day-pass but he can accommodate us this time and he keeps saying he is doing us a huge favor which sounds very odd as we were the one deciding if we want to do business with them.
Then we went there with our gears and front desk told us that it is not possible to use the pool and the stuff should have said that. He was extremely rude and acted like it is our fault. We asked to talk with the guy and he continued to be very rude and unprofessional but he finally said he will call the guy. We waited for a long time and the guy didn’t show up and we decided they will not get our business. For a gym in this price range we expected much better staff and accommodations.
We ended up checking Forma gym and it was cozier and cheaper with very professional and helpful and nicer staff.

As a long time member of the Lifetime franchise (over 15 years), I am impressed with this boutique gym. The fact that such a quality health club is right in the midst of a shopping and family focused epicenter is one of many benefits this club has to offer.

I have been a member of Equinox, Bay Club, Fitness SF, YMCA, City Sports, 24 Hour Fitness, and Alameda Fitness and Spa throughout my time in the Bay Area. Lifetime is far and away the best out of the mix. Equinox, atleast in the Bay Area, is lack luster for what you pay for.

1) strategic and high quality weight lifting floor. I cannot even believe people are complaining about the equipment and machines. These are some of the newest and highest quality machines I have ever experienced.

2) Amenities: towel service, sauna, steam room, rooftop pool, rooftop hot tub (small), rooftop bar, fitness classes, downstairs cafe, work stations, private work pods, kids daycare, and more.

3) hours: opens early and closes late

To anyone looking to join: while LT should be held to a high standard, keep in mind this is a brand new club. There will naturally be an adjustment period as the club learns, adjusts, and grows with its members.
