I have gone to lifestyle fitness [former calfit] for the last 5 years. I was a 'founding member' at the original location. The staff rotates on a weekly basis, the equipment is kept to only an acceptable level [i have asked for replacement foot straps for the recumbent bikes for 6 months, they still haven’t been ordered], all in all it is fairly mediocre. I have stayed with it because I pay less than 20 a month.
LifeTime, as I understand it, is quite the opposite. It is open 24 hours, has a pool, and most of the amenities one would expect from a full service health club.
I have rationalized the additional expense and will be making the switch when the facility opening on hard/sawmill opens sometime next month.
