I've never been in a LifeTime Fitness but I would love to see what the hoopla is about! I think it might be kinda like TV that you have to see it to believe it and that being said... I will refrain from making any derogatory comments about it until I've see it.
I can tell you that when I googled it, I found it costs $60 a month to belong.
What I know is, the fitness center is ope 24/7. They have parking lots larger then Walmart and you are lucky to get a spot! The place is hopping 24 hours a day!
But like they say about The Villages... It's all smoke and mirrors.
