Visited while at my Father in laws. Loved it except they don't accept Silver Sneakers or ins based health plans? Why I don't know. No one's there.

If I could rate it 0 stars, I would. I do NOT recommend this gym at all if you want to be treated like a decent human being. Two workers are atrociously rude and talk about members behind their back, the higher ups do not care when you complain. They will sweep it under the rug, essentially making it known to the workers that it is tolerated to be unpleasant and I’ll-mannered towards the guests. Katie and Mary specifically will give you dirty looks, talk about you behind your back, and make snarky remarks to your face. Disgusting behavior that management clearly does not care about.

It's very clean, quiet and peaceful, even during peak hours. The track floor is my favorite. The locker rooms are so nice. Everyone is super welcoming, very kind, and friendly. I highly recommend it 😊!

I have been recommending this facility to people I meet because I LOVE everything about it. The bright and clean atmosphere, pleasant and helpful staff and equipments and classes are easily. The clients are friendly and courteous.
I have checked out Lifetime Northbrook Fitness Center and it was not for me. I drive about 25 minutes from Winnetka. The place just motivates me to work out.

Gym is just “ok”. Expensive for what you actually get for services. Locker rooms are outdated. Showers smell like sewage. They closed the daycare down due to Covid and never re-opened whereas other gym daycares have re-opened. Seems like they are just trying to save money and at the same time always raising rates.

This is the nicest facility around and I love the staff, the group classes and amenities! I saw there are some negative reviews and thought I should post this... Other than a comedy of errors or bad luck, I cannot imagine what the negative reviewers are talking about.

There are some members who do not follow all the rules, perhaps this is why they were complaining? The staff is supportive of members and keeping the facility clean, of course if someone was reminded of rules, such as "no cell phones" in the workout areas or locker rooms, or to shower before entering the spa or the pools, they may have felt offended. But this is what ruins the club, people who think they are above the rules. The only constructive criticism I have is that the maintenance staff is streamlined and therefore they have to work very hard to keep the facility clean, especially in the locker rooms. If there were a few additional custodians and members were more conscientious and cleaned up after themselves, this would help.

I only write this because I simply don't understand the negative comments posted. This is a very nice gym with more than adequate equipment. I have belonged to the gym for 4 years and have never -- NEVER -- had a problem using equipment I wanted. The gym is clean, well maintained and has a good (albeit older) vibe. As for the staff, they are friendly and competent, and that's all I am looking for in staff. It must be that Roger and the other haters are looking for friends in the gym staff. Ignore the haters and give it a try.
