Best Gyms with Outdoor Pools near Framingham, Massachusetts

I recently had the unfortunate experience of joining Lifetime Fitness, and it has been quite disappointing. One of the first issues I encountered was the unexpected price hikes; it seems like every few months, the membership fees are increased without any tangible improvements in services or facilities. Cleanliness is a basic expectation for any gym, yet Lifetime Fitness falls short in this department. The locker rooms and showers are often unkempt, with litter and unpleasant odors being common occurrences. Another major downside is the attitude of the staff. On several occasions, I’ve encountered rude and unhelpful employees who seem more interested in chatting among themselves than assisting members. The amenities, which are a significant reason for choosing a gym, are frequently closed for "maintenance." This has become more of a norm than an exception. If the amenities are consistently unavailable, members should be entitled to a refund or some form of compensation. Lastly, the gym is consistently overcrowded. Finding an available machine or space for a workout can be a challenge at any time of day. Between the constant price increases, lack of cleanliness, unfriendly staff, unavailable amenities, and overcrowding, it’s hard to justify continuing a membership here. I hope the management takes these concerns seriously and makes improvements for the benefit of all members. Until then, I would advise potential members to consider other options.

I’m a member of Lifetime living in Miami and came here while traveling. There are a few impressive aspects of this location like the full basketball and squash courts, lap pools etc that I’m not used to. However, one thing that completely shocked me was the sauna. That’s usually one of my favorite parts of my day and workout wind down, but this was not a relaxing or enjoyable environment. In my home studio, it is tranquil, dark, quiet, and respectful: many people are there to relax. Here all of the lights are on (?) it is a bit dirty-seeming, and EVERYONE was talking, at a normal outside voice volume! It may just be me, but that is enough for me to not want to join a studio. Thankful to be back in my home studio in the quiet dark sauna while writing this 😅

Came in for a tour. The level of disinterest in customer service or appreciation was very telling to the quality of the experience one would have here. The feeling is definitely that they are so big that a member is just a number. Not what I would expect for a club calling itself luxury in name and price.

Life Time fitness center is a great place for all ages There are 3 floors with new equipment and lots of amenities. They also have a Life Spa with stylists, barbers, nail technicians, estheticians and massage therapists. Large parking lot. Saturday was not busy when I went, especially in the afternoon.

This gym used to be awesome and tailored for people actually interested in fitness. Now all Lifetime wants to do is become a pickleball senior citizen center. They're removing all basketball courts at this location, leave weightlifting equipment broken for extended periods of time, and the locker rooms at this one are frequently dirty with overflowing towel bins. On top of that, the staff is extremely rude, and doesn't care about your experience. Complete waste of money for what you pay. Bring back 2019 Lifetime. There are already 500 people that have signed this petition. The new GM at Lifetime clearly has an agenda based of forcing out members that he doesn't want there.
