Life Time in Chestnut Hill

Loved the locker rooms (hot tub, sauna, steam room) and exercise classes (Ronan’s yoga classes were the best!) but it just got too expensive. I also had a negative experience with a personal trainer where they said I’d look much better if I lost 20lbs. I get it, I was at a gym to get healthy, but that was motivating to hear. It definitely is a bit of a bro/barbie culture. It was wonderful to use the facilities but the culture is not very welcoming at this location.

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: My Lifetime Chestnut Hill Experience The Good: 🎉 The staff is super friendly—always ready with a smile! 🎯 The location is so convenient. 🥪 Love the cafeteria area—great place to chill or grab a bite and to work from. 🎶 The music? It’s always on point—really gets me in the zone! 😎 And best of all, it’s usually not too crowded, so I can actually enjoy my workout. The Bad: 🚽 The bathrooms… especially on the exercise floor… let’s just say they need a little TLC. 🚗 And the parking garage? It’s busy, and sometimes feels like a game of Tetris to find a spot. The Ugly: 🍽️ Some of the cafeteria crew could use a little more hustle—tables and trash areas sometimes get a little too cozy. 💦 And the water refill station? Definitely needs a refill... often! A Little Suggestion: 🏋️‍♂️ Can we please post gym floor rules? With limited space and busy hours, it’s pretty frustrating when people sit on machines, staring into their phones, while others are waiting for a turn. Let’s keep the flow going! Even with a few hiccups, I still enjoy my time at Lifetime Chestnut Hill. Let’s just say it’s got potential for even more fun if those little things get sorted out!

I joined this gym expecting equal access to all its amenities, but I was extremely disappointed to learn that the cold plunge, a highly beneficial recovery tool, is only available in the men’s locker room. This means that as a woman, I have no access to it, while men can use it freely. It’s unacceptable for a modern fitness facility to provide certain recovery options exclusively to one gender. If you’re going to offer premium amenities, they should be accessible to all members, not just half. I brought this concern up with the staff, but no solution was offered. Until this issue is addressed, I can’t recommend this gym to women looking for equal treatment. If you’re paying the same membership fees, you should get the same benefits.

Went into lifetime today after driving 35 minutes with one of my friends who I was going to use a guest pass. When I tried to get my friend inside the worker at the front wouldn’t let my friend in as they stop taking guests at 9 when it was 9:03. I tried asking the worker nicely that I was not aware of this and that we just wanted to use the sauna and leave and was still denied entry. I’m sure this wouldn’t be the case with other locations as workers are generally very nice. Very disappointed in this as a proud member who pays $260 a month.

Great gym! Worth every penny! 10/10 Huge shout-out to Donny! He's an incredible personal trainer! This man exceeds expectations. He not only knows his stuff but is very personable and fun to work with. He has taught me a ton, I'm looking forward to more sessions with him. Also I have to mention Jenifer for GTX and Nutritional consultations. She goes above and beyond in her work and really helps me keep to and accomplish my goals. And of course Despina for Yoga. I look forward to her class every week! They all keep me motivated and working hard each class while helping me keep my form correct. Amazing instructors and trainers! Everyone together is helping me get in the best shape of my life, everyone's been amazing here

This is five star gym facility and I will explain why it worth your money. Firstly place is extremely clean , it makes you feel better than other local gyms available. Secondly, super professional and attentive lifetime staff to help you and guide you in your sport journey, thirdly, newly renovated men’s sauna makes experience better than other lifetime locations in Massachusetts , it might not be the biggest lifetime but how compact and comfortable it is cannot match other locations I have been and lastly Pilates coach Farrah is a extremely knowledgeable and professional , I had shoulder injury and she helped out to strengthen it and I got stronger in lifting because my core got extra strength.

Such a great gym. The classes are very high quality. You can always find good classes no matter what time you look. The instructors here are all very good. Kids academy is awesome. They do gymnastics, art and ballet. It’s a wonderful place where parents can workout and kids can have fun with their activities. Locker rooms are very clean and esthetically pleasing

Great gym with super friendly and accommodating staff. They have tons of options for classes and stuff and lots of different rooms for things like hot yoga and spin classes. They also have free wifi and a cafe so they really are striving to provide the whole experience. Their equipment is nice and well-kept and people are generally very courteous. Parking is free. I really miss the atrium mall but this place doesn't suck
