Life Time in Chicago, Illinois

“I will say that I do enjoy this gym a lot and the Life Cafe is the best place i've found to do remote work.

“Lifetime was a huge part of my fitness journeyu2014I loved the amenities, the people, the cleanliness, and the staff.

“$100 for a guest pass? Seriously? I was a member for 20+ years to lifetime and I just recently moved to a location without one and canceled my membership. I was not expecting to be extorted for trying to get a guest pass”
