Lifetime Fitness has been the gym of choice for many over the years because of its wide variety of equipment, classes, and amenities. But if you’re not sure why Lifetime Fitness is the best gym around, here are five reasons to help convince you.
1. One price, no contracts
One of lifetime fitness’s biggest selling points, compared to other gyms, is that you can take as many classes and train as often as you want without ever having to pay extra. No more signing up for a $10 per month membership, then feeling tied down when you realize you might never use it. At lifetime fitness, your monthly dues are one price and that price covers everything—including all trainers, personal training sessions, and equipment access!
2. A wide variety of classes
The difference between a fitness center and a gym can be confusing, so it’s important to understand what makes each of them different. In short, most fitness centers are open to everyone and offer classes taught by instructors who have experience in their particular areas of expertise. Many also offer machines where you can work out independently. These gyms tend to be less expensive than many of their competitors. With lifetime fitness, you can expect both options; those who prefer individualized exercise programs can book one-on-one sessions with trainers while others will find a variety of classes on offer at regular times throughout the week. This kind of schedule increases attendance by ensuring that people always have options for when they want to work out or need an alternative to what they regularly do.
3. Free personal training
When it comes to getting fit, there’s a cost associated with everything. From gym memberships to shoes and clothes, you’re spending hard-earned money on your fitness goals. Although it may seem like a luxury, having a trainer could be one of your best investments in fitness because personal training allows you access to professional guidance at no additional cost. In fact, many gyms offer discounted rates for personal training services. Not only do trainers work with you directly on form and technique, but they also suggest exercises that will help meet your specific goals. If you choose an outdoor gym or a big-box club that provides free training—either through classes or individual instruction—you can get very similar benefits without paying an extra dime!
4. 24/7 access to facilities
This is our favorite perk of Lifetime. Most gyms have an open and close time, but not here. That’s right—come and go as you please, 24/7! If your schedule changes throughout your day or week, that shouldn’t prevent you from having access to great facilities to work out in whenever you want. You can come at 2 a.m., we don’t care. You can get some exercise in before school, or before work (or after). It doesn’t matter what your situation is—we understand and we welcome it with open arms! Check-in anytime with eFitness: eFitness allows you to check-in any time on any day through their mobile app or website (and free Wi-Fi!). You can track progress over time, make notes about how each workout went, view maps of where each machine is located within our facility (even those outside!), and so much more. And did we mention it’s all completely free?
5. Convenient locations
Across Dallas-Fort Worth, from Flower Mound to Plano, you’ll find 24-hour clubs in locations that are easy to get to and have plenty of parking. That means no waiting for a spin class—or worse, skipping it altogether—because your gym closes too early or has inconvenient hours. At many of our locations, you can even show up right at 5 am and be on your way home by 7 am if that’s when you want to start working out! There’s no need to change plans just because your gym isn’t open yet.
