Update: late may 2024 and it is HOT in here. The other recent reviews about an underpowered AC seem to have some legitimacy to them. Confirmed with GM the entire upstairs AC is broken and awaiting a repair. OOF. This seems to be a pattern if you go through reviews historically. See pic for completely disabled upstairs thermostat. It does not appear they have a timeline for a fix or a plan to bring in fans in the meantime. As much as I love this gym over my two years here, the quality has gone downhill and management has stopped engaging with reviews or sending out notices/emails. I’d avoid for the time being. The weird weekend hours (close at 7) are unfortunate. I don’t really get people saying the employees are rude here. A couple of them are especially nice, most are neutral. They’re gym employees just doing their jobs, if you want a friendly conversation from a gym employee, conversate with the GM or seek out a friend

I've been experiencing ongoing issues with the air conditioning at this gym for over a year now, and it seems the problem remains unresolved. Despite submitting formal complaints, management repeatedly assures me that it's being addressed (please see the response). We’ve endured two summers where the gym has been nearly unmanageable due to the heat. Even now, in December, the temperature upstairs is still in the high 70s to low 80s, despite the use of fans. As you can see, the air conditioning is currently off upstairs. It's incredibly disappointing, especially considering the high membership fees. While Lifetime Fitness is a fantastic gym overall, I recommend choosing the locations to the north or south instead of the Arboretum location. It simply doesn’t meet expectations.

Best GYM in AUSTIN! Although its a smaller lifetime with less amenities compared to other locations this gym is unique. What makes Braker unique is its own private lake where members can swim, paddle board and kayak included. The gym is always clean the team is wonderful always happy and helpful.

The one star is for the friendly and warm staff at the Arboretum front desk and coffee bar AND the clean bathrooms. I would say if you like to be in these affluent settings I would consider this a vanity gym. In six months I met ONE serious lifter. There is no inspiration, no six hundred pound dead lifters, no camraderie to compete or just learn about lifting. I was also censored for needing to carry my equipment in my bag. I carry lifting shoes, my own towels, chalk, clamps, snacks, wraps, straps, my log, belt, water bottle which is part of what I need with me. I was scolded in front of members and told it wasnt allowed. Sorry, bub, but I lift, not swing 5# DBs. This gym is also ageist. In 12 yrs never have I been allowed in a gym only during certain hrs because of my age. Imagine if my regular gym did this? For serious gym folks looking for a serious lifting gym, this wont work. For the gym fees and trainer fees there are much better gyms and trainers here in Austin.

I’ve been a member of Lifetime Fitness for quite some time, and I’m extremely disappointed with the lack of urgency in fixing the air conditioning on the upper floor. It’s been broken for what seems like a year now. Considering the premium fees we pay for membership—hundreds of dollars each month—this level of neglect is simply unacceptable. This isn’t a budget gym like Gold’s Gym, where you might expect some issues. We pay a significant amount for what is supposed to be a top-tier fitness experience. The heat upstairs is unbearable, especially during the summer months. It’s not just uncomfortable, but it also creates an unhealthy workout environment. The management’s lack of action in resolving this issue is mind-blowing. Despite numerous complaints from members, there seems to be no real effort to get the AC repaired. Lifetime Fitness needs to address this immediately. We expect better service and facilities for the amount we’re paying. If the management doesn’t take swift action, I will consider canceling my membership and looking for a gym that values its members’ comfort and well-being.
