i have been going to lifetime shelby since it opened it has always been more of a social club for teens- twenties which i always found annoying (i'm young too, just serious about being there), but i stuck it out avoiding social times. well it has gone to a whole new level. i've been going fairly late (9:30-10:00) to avoid the crowd but the past 5 to 6 months have been ridiculous. i park far away, the work out floor is PACKED with people just sitting on a machine socializing or using the phone. girls that block the drinking fountain primping at the mirror for long periods of time. tonight i decided i was too frustrated to continue so i went to the pools to do a few laps, all the lines were filled which i normally would not be to upset about, but 2 of the lines were taken up by some guys hanging out chatting. i didn't want to go to the leisure pool cause (not that they were doing anything wrong) there were 7-8 men sitting in chairs ogling, which made me very uncomfortable. i was going to go to the whirlpool, only 1 of the 2 were open and it was packed with ALL young guys.
for how much i spend every month you would think that the machines would be in better condition. as far as the gym goes i know most people think its really nice but i think they can do better. rochester is a little nicer.
Pros: 24 hours even most holidays, pool
Cons: unfriendly staff, crowded with kids, damaged machines, extra $ for amenities
