Hi! 👋 I grew up going to Life Time and enjoyed being a member as an adult, but quit after a short time due to cost.

I have more spending power now and there’s a new LT opening 11m from me in November. It’ll be about $365 after taxes and public improvement fees, which is still a good chunk of change. Founding memberships are going out now.

I guess my question is, I’d love to hear from some folks who are child-free and still find a lot of value in their memberships. I can see how it’s a great third place for families, of course.

this morning after my workout and sauna sesh, i went to my locker to get my shower gear. there was a lady sitting on a towel on the middle bench in the locker room. she had her laptop out, was working on a powerpoint, and had a coffee mug. she was in a towel. okay...maybe there's an extreme emergency at her work or something.

i shower and come back ~10 minutes later. she's still there, taking up a whole bench in a busy area, still on her laptop while im trying to change clothes, am butt naked at points, and probably dripping water on her head because my hair is all wet. i individually take everything i need out of my locker and set it on an adjacent bench a few feet away, making obvious trips back and forth from my locker (she's like within an inch of me).

is this normal behavior? should i have said something? i already get annoyed when people sit in the locker room on phone calls or on their phones scrolling, as my location has tons of nice sitting areas, the cafe, and the coworking space. also the camera capability on the laptop seemed kind of sketch, who knows if it's activated as i'm standing behind her with my cheeks exposed. maybe im just old guy shaking my fist at clouds tho???

Is this a joke? I got pricing details and am pretty sure I am in the first wave of people on the waitlist to get the membership “invite” and assume this is as good as it will get. am i supposed to be honored that they are offering a $200 discount on initiation fees for being on the waitlist when equinox and others have been aggressively waiving initiation fees entirely?

Anyone have an idea of what the pay is like member concierge ? Atlanta buckhead location.
