Anyone use Lifetime Fitness?

I'm thinking of joining a gym here in MD. Went by and toured the building, based on the tour everything seemed great. The only downsides that I had was the $250 setup fee and the Salesperson was really pushy.

Just want to know what other people think of them?

Expensive @ $60/month. $250 setup fee is out of control. Other than that, really nice gym.

Initiation fees are ALWAYS negotiable. Also, $60 a month is rather high.

What other gyms do you have?

I've always found most of these foo-foo gyms have everything to attract old folks and women, and leave men who are serious about fitness rather cold. Have you checked out the local Gold's Gym?

I am looking for something not soo out of the way. I checked another gym across the street. They were the same $60 a month, no setup fees, but required a contract and were not open 24hrs

We managed to talk the sales guy $50 down since I have 3 people signing up on the single rate. But that $50 would not help me since I would be the 1st of the 3, only the two other people signing up.

You really need 24 hours?

When the alternative is something stupid like closing at 8pm... yes

Ah, I see.

What did Lifetime offer you if you signed a 1 or 2 year contract?

I did not check on that, I will call them today to find that out. I went to lifetime first, thought the setup fee was outragous. Went to the other place.
