"The weight and cardio machines are super high tech and advanced- I've never seen anything like some of them."
"This is my favorite lifetime location because of the spa! Nothing like working out then being able to either, soak it in the jacuzzi, steam off in a nice hot steam room, sit in the sauna or dip in the cold plunge."
"The pool is great, it has nice view and is outside on the roof."
"One of the nicest gyms I've ever used, particularly the coed 'spa' with sauna, cold plunge, hot tub, steam room, and relaxation area with lounge chairs."
Cons:
"The sky pool is not included with any membership (founders included)."
"Nice gym but the sauna needs to be fixed."
"It hardly has any machines, no space for free weights."
"The cafe is an absolute mess, they have been out for bananas for a whole week."
"The floor and amenities are pretty lackluster to say the least."
"The machines are probably the most important to note, they don’t focus on having lots of machines for lifting, they are definitely missing a few key machines that most gyms have."
"The showers close at 9:45p on Saturdays... Yet this rude Spanish woman working here in the locker room was shouting at us when we were asked to leave the pool at 9:27pm that 'the water is closing in one minute!!!'"
Staff & Service
Pros:
"I feel at ease there and regularly see staff cleaning machines."
"The staff are all professional - Belinda has a personal touch & Tara is a welcome, new addition."
"Lifetime Athletic at Sky is a great facility and the staff and trainers are all professionals."
"The company has everything you need when it comes to fitness and have the best trainers who are personalized for you with the help of the app."
"Staff is super nice and very warm hearted and are always willing to help out."
"staff is amazing esp I ask a million & 1 questions"
"The staff and trainers are all professionals - welcoming, friendly and kind."
Cons:
"Most of the staff here are like expressionless robots."
"They won't cancel your membership until one month after."
"Racist receptionist RACIST ESTABLISHMENT RACIST EMPLOYEE MANNERS. ALL IN ALL THIS IS A RACIST GYM!!!"
"One woman who stood out as being the most arrogant and rudest of all, get this, ends up 'being' the GM."
"The membership consultant Stephanie is not professional at all and did not follow her words."
"The front desk staff's rude attitude and lack of clear communication only exacerbated the situation."
"The staff is so rude and unbearable that it makes you hate the place."
Value & Membership
Pros:
"it's truly worth it if u come at least 3 or 5x a week"
"Being in Manhattan, it definitely has a unique charm to it."
"This is my vote for the the nicest all around club in Manhattan. Large, open, lots of amenities, overall great staff, if anything a little understaffed."
"The fitness floor is rarely crowded, even during the busiest times."
"Even though this Manhattan location is smaller than other Lifetime's I have visited, it provides a much higher level of service than other gyms I have experienced in the city."
"You don't really have the same snobby atmosphere as some of the other clubs in nyc."
"I’ve been a member for 5 years or so. I can’t imagine being with another facility."
Cons:
"For $299 a month, this gym offers not much."
"I just tried to sign up 6/10/2023 and the rates have in fact increased by $20 a month to $279 + taxes/fees ON TOP of the extra $1400 summer pass to have unlimited access to the rooftop outdoor pool."
"I do not recommend this gym due to their shady business practices."
"There are only 7 treadmills available, so naturally they are always occupied."
"the pool is an extra almost 2 grand. That's highway robbery."
"It’s really not worth the $270/month price tag."
"The gym clearly favors members that also live at lifetime."
