Life Time - Brooklyn, New York

Sports O. L.

The life Time at Dumbo. Brooklyn is most definitely what’s happening there’s so much square footage. It’s honestly amazing.

The front desk is very helpful, professional, engaging, and articulate.

There is a bar there however the only downside is that the woman who is tending the bar, said that there was a happy hour, but didn’t really know the times and didn’t know what drinks or beers are a part of happy hour. Therefore, I did not attend happy hour when I was there in my opinion, they need to do a better job of promoting their happy hour as you don’t find that many gyms with an actual bar.
There was no ice plunge, but there is a nice coed Jacuzzi steam room and sauna even though I will admit that. The steam room is absolutely scalding. I had to wet a towel and put it over me and I still couldn’t last longer than 10 minutes in there but it’s soothing nonetheless their workout classes the rooms are very well ventilated the instructors are friendly and engaging and the ambience of the strobe lights and music is definitely thrilling. The weight area is very open and spacious better than the location at sky and there are plenty of restrooms. I didn’t get to hoop, but the pool has six lanes. There’s no need to make a reservation and it feels like the lanes are longer which makes it more enjoyable oh, and I have to add the lifetime café at this location is also top-notch as they serve delicious, hot food. I had an excellent burger and my girlfriend put me on to a cauliflower barbecue chicken and bacon pizza which was delicious. Too bad they don’t sell real soda like Coca-Cola or sprite. LOL JK

I just signed up for this gym. It’s cool but like many others in the reviews…I gotta say, the front desk needs a whole new staff. They’re off-putting and can be combative for the pettiest reasons. Not the character traits you want to experience when you first walk in. It’s genuinely super strange (I used to be a f.d attendant at a gym myself— I find that it’s quite easy to be pleasant doing this particular job... quite mind-boggling that they’re still working there) Also…I think it’s especially annoying that when we bring a guest, we must be present, I’ve been a member of all kinds of elite/boutique gyms and it has never been necessary as long as the correct info is provided + form is filled / member ID and/or phone no is given. Only in lifetime have I needed to be physically present. Only thing keeping me here is the hot yoga and sauna/steam room.

All the other staff outside of front desk are helpful and kind 🙂 + members are cool and clean up after themselves. Love the space.

Oh and maybe get a cold plunge! y’all charge us enough money for one 🙄

my only thing is that this place charges an arm and a leg and there’s 0 alternative in the neighborhood so i feel like if i want to take care of my body im forced to go here. otherwise its a very nice gym. there’s always enough machines, the pool is great, i like that they’re open til 11. I know people have complained about the staff being unfriendly but i haven’t noticed that myself. Maybe they hired new people

I love this gym so much and all of the staff are so nice, friendly and helpful! I spend hours here enjoying all of the equipment and amenities. The classes are great too! And the front desk staff are all so sweet!

I joined LifeTime a few months ago after being an Equinox member and never going.

My local lifetime in NoHo is very small & often crowded, but this DUMBO location checks every box. Huge space, much more weights, racks, machines (all brand new), cycling studio, pool, basketball court, and a spa amongst other things. There’s even a damn full bar on the main entrance floor.

I come during the day, so I haven’t had any issues with overcrowding.

Contrary to others comments, the girls at the front desk have been capable & very hospitable.

I pay $190/mo through Gympass via my employer and leave Manhattan to come to this location. Sign up already!

One the best Gyms you would ever want to go to!!!
Lifetime is a one stop wellness shop lol and I think they took their time finding the most knowledgeable and helpful staff members
Life Time ensures the best experiences because they have the best equipment along with the best workers

All of their locations are clean and friendly. The equipment is up to date and state of the art. They're opening up more locations around the city and have quickly become the bane of equinox. They're not the cheapest thing in town, but they're not as unnecessarily and ludicrously as expensive as equinox and others. The downside is the group exercise classes. The regular in studio exercise classes are base to say the least. If you're an absolute beginner and don't care to lift more than 10 or 15 lb, then fine. But if you're looking to get stronger, faster and more advanced in these classes, it's not going to happen Other on the floor style types like GTX, AMP etc.
As far as personal training is concerned you're going to get the same as just about anywhere else. Just make sure to vet and verify their experience and education.
Overall it's a good place to get your workout on
