Best Gyms with Pickleball near Peabody, Massachusetts

Life Time’s quality has significantly declined. The locker rooms and bathrooms are consistently dirty, there are never any paper towels available for drying hands, and the equipment wipes are almost always out. Many of the machines are broken and remain unfixed for extended periods. While they require 30 days’ notice for members to make any changes to their accounts, they don’t extend the same courtesy when notifying members about price increases. At $260 a month, the experience is simply not worth the cost.

My account was on hold, the people on the phone specifically told me I would be able to use the gym until December 31st. Walk in too workout, and they told me I had to renew my membership and basically kick rocks. Wanted me to pay a renewal fee of $230 when I was told over the phone I wouldn’t get charged. Lady at the front was rude. Happy I cancelled. Let’s see how that works out now that I read these other reviews of members not being able to cancel.

Great location but the amenities and hours are worse every month while the price goes up. One of the staff members actually came out to my car to accuse me of following them while I was looking for parking. Really weird.

Gone downhill with time - dirty locker rooms, clientele not respecting rules, broken machines that are left unaddressed for weeks. Plus they keep raising prices without anything improving or being enhanced? Management sends notification emails stating a long list of things they’re “aware of” yet nothing seems to be done. The icing on the cake are the group fitness classes (GTX, etc) on the main workout floor that blast music beyond need (noise cancelling headphones can’t even block it out) and take over entire areas of the common fitness spaces with little regard for others use of the “shared” equipment. Could be a great gym experience if they actually justified the $259/mo price in all aforementioned areas.

Just trust the name. Yes, it is pricey, but you get a lot for your membership. Trainers are extremely knowledgeable and helpful for each member. Able free classes to choose from.

The team in Peabody is absolutely outstanding. The gym is kept clean and it is easy to report issues with machines. The whole team is very friendly and pleasant to deal with. The day care staff is fantastic to deal with and my son always has a great time at the gym. The manager Damien is such a pleasure to work with and there is always great two way communication. I would highly recommend this gym.

I still go there only because they have racquetball courts as they are getting pretty limited in supply. Basic amenities are lacking, as bathrooms still look like they are from a low-level gym. Barely maintained with stall doors that don't close and seat liners empty most times. Hot tub has been inoperable since COVID, with constant excuses of missing parts and permits. Few amenities like towels don't justify the cost of membership. Was hoping for better club services and offerings with newer ownership, but sadly only interested in revenue opportunities and not necessarily current members. Hoping changes are on the horizon, but not holding my breath. Have reached out to management a few times, with little results and current front desk staff although friendly, not super knowledgeable about repair timelines etc.

I was extremely interested in becoming a member at this gym. Unfortunately a girl named Alexis at the front desk has changed my decision. Each and every time I have visited this gym upon walking into the front doors I was greeted very rudely by Alexis and given dirty looks as she walked around the gym floor for whatever reason she seems miserable and takes it out on others. I just cannot see myself making a commitment with this gym and having my mood disrupted every time before my workout even starts.

Pool lanes have been sold to swim classes so only 1 gym member can swim per hour from 5-6pm. Pool locker room is disgusting. Lights out, lockers are small, missing ceiling tiles, rusty hand dryers and just plain dirty. I have complained to staff/managers and they seemed bothered I was even speaking to them. Staff don’t even know how long the pool is. They restrict you on pool workouts and then won’t let you out of the contract. Definitely choose another gym because not much has changed from when Latitude and BSC owned it and failed. They have new TV’s though if you want to go to a gym and watch tv what’s next serving pizza and bagels like planet fitness?
