I have been a member of the WBL club since 2017. They have done a great job maintaining a high level of service throughout the pandemic. This location is very nice. It is smaller than some other clubs but has many great offerings. Plus the quaintness of it is desirable for those not wanting to be overrun by too many people. There is a good mix of ages and abilities in the members.

Staff is very friendly. Gym is so clean! Even the members are very friendly. Highly recommend lifetime fitness in whitebear because theres not a lot of people compare to woodbury lifetime. Woodbury is packed. And theres always kids running around playing with equipments at woodbury. At whitebear, it is more peaceful and relaxing.

The gym tends to be overly busy before 7am on weekdays and before 10am on weekends. I am not sure about other times. For the price, I would recommend another option. If you go at

Awesome atmosphere and awesome trainers! I wouldnt recommend going anywhere else! This gym is great and they have great prices too! Cant beat it!

High class full service fitness center.

This gym is great and they have great prices too! Cant beat it!

Great equipment, great food, and good deals on clothes in the little shop.

Clean facility with a great pool and great range of weight machines. Staff is great and goes out of their way to clean facility.Members are something else. Masks are seldom worn in lockers (even though required), they regularly congregate together (10-15 people) with no masks in the jacuzzi, are oblivious to the reality of a global pandemic, and have no regard for the staff. Lifetime even placed large warning signs of maximum capacity yet the members cannot read. The staff warns everyone of closing four times in the last hour but members regularly hop into the shower, start a workout or go into the jacuzzi when the building is closed.The sad part is that the employees will suffer the most when the club closes due to a COVID outbreak from furlough.If you only care about yourself, want a luxurious club, and enjoy making staff members miserable, this is the place for you.

I don’t know why it’s called onyx, but its super tiny

It’s a decent gym that has all the basic amenities you need. So get on it with your membership & start your workout journey!!

Parm. Crusted BLT is delish.

Steam room closed, sauna closed (because they dont want to maintain it) jacuzzi closed, ( because this place is rachety) NOT worth the overpriced monthly... go anywhere else

Tennis courts were amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful. They seem to really be taking the extra sanitizing and spacing to heart so it feels safe too.

Going to lifetime Athletic is like an oasis. Met lots of friends there. As well highly trained professional staff.

Dirty pool area - lots of b.s. but not enough substance.

The dodge bowl and a acai recovery smoothie!I am in love.

My favorite gym. Great crew and amazing service!!

Theres something for everyone - strength, cardio, boxing, yoga and a weight room to do your own thing. The locker room and showers are always clean and they always have towels. Highly recommend!

This is one of lifetimes’ high end gyms however all of their cardio Equipment is outdated and their cardio selection is much worse then the other lifetime gyms that aren’t as expensive

Can play tennis year round!

I love this gym. This gym has become my new life and I dont know where i will be if it was not for this gym

I have been coming to Life Time Fitness for 2 years and love it! The classes are great and the atmosphere is too.

This is a pretty good gym. Staff is very friendly. The facility is kept clean

This will always be my favorite gym. Great people and great equipment!!This will always be my favorite gym. Great people and great equipment!!

Good Covid culture, friendly staff.

Its very special having so many coaches guiding you throughout the class! Definitely the best

Overall great facility. Has a cafe, salon, kids center, indoor & outdoor pool, a gymnasium, tennis courts, and Pilates studio in addition to the usual cardio and weight lifting equipment.Its typically kept clean, especially now that they have reopened after COVID. Kids center is great.My biggest complaint is that there is occasionally too many people, but that hasnt been the case since newly reopening.

I’ve gone to many of the different Life Time locations and White Bear is one of my favorites. Even though the club is small, it has great amenities and a much more intimate feel than some of the big clubs. Even when it’s at its busiest I’ve never been stuck waiting to use equipment.The front desk staff aren’t as friendly with their “hellos” and “goodbyes” as they are at other clubs, but the rest of the staff are extremely friendly with their customer interactions.

Very Impressed. I was in town for a funeral and the customer service from EVERYONE was extremely good (especially Zach). Facility was clean and equipment was in good working order. I also appreciated the small cafe/juice bar and sauna

Excellent gym to get it done at! Always super clean even for being such a busy location!! All the employees are great and really helpful!!

I have been to several Lifetime’s and this is my favorite. I love the size, it’s large enough to have everything my family and I want, but small enough so that we don’t feel lost. I love being able to see people I know every time I’m here because there is such a strong community!

Ive only been a member for about 8 months and have been very happy with my decision to switch to lifetime. It can get a tad crowded, but what gym doesnt during the busy hours? They always keep the locker room stocked with everything you need. The entire staff is super friendly and neither Becca or Zack pressured me to join when I toured the facility like most gyms do. Highly recommend this gym.

Its very special having so many coaches guiding you throughout the class! Definitely the best

Great customer service, knowledgeable and patient. Natalia and front desk and Jill in the spa were particularly helpful.

This is the best gym! Love it!

One of the best fitness i have ever been to

Its very special having so many coaches guiding you throughout the class! Definitely the best!!

Great clean gym. Extremely knowledgeable staff. Fantastic facilities. Highly recommended!

Great people great atmosphere great workouts.

Great classes, very clean, always has a lap swim lane open--worth every penny.

4.0 star rating 1/1/2017We use our membership mostly for cardio workouts, swimming, and tennis. The membership cost is expensive, but the club is clean and it has great features. All of the tennis professionals are outstanding and I cannot speak highly enough of them. The child care center is really great and will watch the kids while you work out. We have belonged there for several years now and are very happy.

Super cool gym - great variety and instructors. They do a remarkable job of teaching you how to live fit!!

Nice club and staff. Great tennis facility. Aspects of the facility could use some updates.

Ive been going here a long time. Before it was even a lifetime and Ive never had a bad experience. Great place to work out, play tennis or basketball, or just relax!

Great people. Great facility.

Awesome place! Their steam room is sweet and the alpha place is a great place for cross fit style training.

I love Lifetime. The Instructors are kind, patient, and helpful. Amandas barbell Strength workout is great and Johnathan is terrific PT

Its a nice club or it was at one time all the weight machines need to be updated or fixed theres a lot of sleep and all of them. My wife always has an issue in the womens bathroom Weatherby the steam room not working or being out of razors. Still a lot of people dont go here so its always easy to get on a treadmill

Im obsessed with this gym. Seriously.I joined quickly after buying a house in WBL, and let me tell you, this is the first gym that Im actually excited to go to. Granted, Im used to living in NYC and Seattle, where gyms are outrageously expensive and you dont get many extras, but what Life Time offers still blows me away. Literally any class you could possibly want - spin (my personal favorite!), yoga, pilates, strength training, barre, and more - plus both indoor AND outdoor pools, tennis courts, and basketball courts. This place seriously has it ALL.And the cherry on top is how friendly the staff is, and how knowledgeable the trainers. I love this place!

We love it here! People are friendly and there is everything you could want in a gym. Can’t wait for summer again so we can live by the pool!

I have been with lifetime since 2014 and am sadly canceling my membership due to the lack of classes the White Bear location offers. I have bounced between a few locations and have come to realize the WBL does not live up to the Onyx level membership. For the last 2 years I have contacted corporate, spoken with the studio manager and also escalated my grievances with the GM, Marco. I was informed that they will not be able to add more classes because there isn’t enough space or “ability.” I explained that other onyx gyms for example have upwards of 10-17 warrior sculpt classes a week and WBL has 5, the response I was given was that’s just how it’s going to be, sorry. I brought up that my member ship price should reflect what the gym offers and I was told that member ship dues are based on the facility size and parking lot. So Fridley a gold level location ($60) a month can offer that rate because they have a larger parking lot (WHAT!!) and also offers more classes... The hours of the gym are absolutely ridiculous as other gyms such as Fridley are open 24 hours. As a mom who needs to go to the gym before my child wakes up on a Saturday, I don’t really care about summer hours and have the expectation level that the gym should be open earlier. Their peak class times are 9-11 and 4-6. Which is IMPOSSIBLE for people who work down town. Overall I am extremely disappointed with this location and believe that if you are retired or a stay at home mom or someone with an extremely flexible schedule this gym is for you.

My Happiest place! Kind helpful from then minute my card is scanned. Front desk tennis desk life cafe trainers pros membership always spot on. Thank you

This place is an inviting environment and so much more than just a gym. They have great tasting food in the cafe and places to hangout and chat with friends.

Get the steam room and sauna open.

Ive been a member for many years and enjoy the location. However, theres a consistency of facility issues that are annoying.Such as the steam room - lights go out and are not replaced for days; inconsistent use of eucalyptus, towels left on benches...its been down several times over the past couple of years.Equipment wipes are empty too often.Basketballs are way overdue for replacement...all of them!Contrary to some of the reviews found here, I think the staff is pretty friendly.Lastly, I bought a Kind bar recently - the markup is obscene!Overall, Its pricey but convenient.

I would like to thank the staff that was working on1/22 at about 3:30 in the afternoon at the White Bear lifetime .my car was stuck in the snow and the help I got without asking was great they stayed out in the blowing snow to help get me out. I just want to say a big THANK YOU !!!!

My husband and I have read reviews about Lifetime having great amenities and classes but having awful customer service, and that has 100% been our experience. Were both tennis players, and Im a triathlete who is allergic to chlorine, so I have to swim in salt water pools. Unfortunately, the Lifetime in White Bear Lake or St Louis Park are basically my only options, so were members of an extremely overpriced gym for that reason. While the tennis community is great and has pretty much a similar cost to other tennis clubs, customer service has consistently been atrocious. For example, when we were deciding whether to purchase LT bucks when we first joined, we specifically asked if we could use them for tennis at other facilities. The Lifetime agent got back to us and said that he checked into it and that we could, but we actually found out after buying the LT bucks that we couldnt use them at clubs other than our home club, even though were Onyx members. Moreover, the staff doesnt even know how to associate our LT bucks with court reservations. Even worse, when I called White Bear Lake today to ensure there wasnt anything happening in their pool this morning so that I would be able to do my pool workout, the customer service representative said she would check and that there was definitely nothing happening in the pool all day. So I drove 25 minutes to the gym, and lo and behold, the entire pool is reserved for classes until 10:00 a.m. Because of the waste of my time, and the fact that I didnt have time to then drive all the way out to St Louis Park to try to swim there, I had to forego my workout today. When I politely informed the customer service rep of this and that I couldnt workout today, she just apologized and said that maybe it was a meet that wasnt on their schedule. When I told her that it was swimming lessons, she said she didnt know why it wasnt on their schedule then. Additionally, none of the customer service reps seem to know if their pool is actually salt water or not, or how many meters/yards the pool is. This is basic information that front desk staff should know. Finally, about 2 months after we joined our home club, the person who sold us our membership called me and asked if I wanted to join the club. I explained that we sat down and signed the paperwork in his office and had been members for 2 months already. He clearly didnt remember us or check his records at all before calling. I dont know if it is a poor training program for the staff, but it truly is horrible customer service. That said, the amenities are fantastic. Everything is really clean, the classes are exceptional (especially the spin classes we attend early weekday mornings at Highland Park), and the locker rooms are really nice. Is it worth the insane amount of money we pay every month ($180)? Uh, no. Definitely not. Well be shopping around, and Ill have to consider whether swimming off-season is worth the money we currently pay.

The yoga studio is next to the tennis courts and basketball courts and its directly under the weight room and when they drop their weights its difficult to relax and practice yoga

For size, amenities and hours it is ridiculously priced. Gold clubs such as Woodbury or Moore lake are so much nicer. Lastly other reviewers are correct, there are some snobby workers there.

An Expensive Gym but has most of the facilities. The one-on-one with Trainers and Spa is worth the money. Unfortunately for me, no racquet ball courts :(

I would give zero stars if it was an option. My husband and I joined Lifetime fitness in hope of it being a step up from other gyms just to be brutally disappointed. We went a total of 2 times before canceling. Our sales rep Zach assured us that we would be refunded knowing that we had prior accounts several years ago. My husband received a call yesterday 3/12/18 saying we will not be refunded. To me this is unacceptable if we were told one thing even if it is wrong by the associate please do right and honor your wrong. I spoke with Angel she said she could give a credit on next months bill if we wanted to give them another chance or just terminate our membership. Which should have been done on 3/7/2018. I said we dont want to give a second chance because our needs at the gym could not be met, we love to play basketball and the two times we went they had a bounce house on one side of the bball court and the other side kids were playing floor hockey. The second time it was reserved for children to be tought to play. The guy teaching was doing nothing but talking to another guy. Angel told me i had to call customer relations which was a nightmare Samantha told me she cant do anything for me and hung up on me before I was done talking. I called customer relations back spoke to Hillary who told me i have to call the facility and talk to the sales manager. Which led me to Becca who said cant do anything for me. I will never tell people to join lifetime fitness in whitebear lake. Please believe i will be reporting this to the BBB. And thanks for the worst experience at your facility.

My friends and I got are membership on Wednesday 03/02/16 paid the starting fee and everything. Today Friday 03/04/16 I go in with my friends super excited.. when we get there the lady very rudely tells us we are not members she does not even look at her screen twice! we tell her how if we signed up and everything? and she just kept saying no to us not even letting us finish our sentences! And she even said as long as shes there we cant get through point blank she was way out of line for all that were paying getting treated like this haha ill pass but anyways Ill be going in on Monday to speak to youre manager Kim :)

Awesome classes, great staff and amazing amenities. Top of the line.

Unfortunately some of the worst customer service I have ever witnessed. Membership coordinator Becca does not do a very good job at making people feel welcome to the club, or informed.

Very irritating experience when I came in asking for a tour. I called first to make sure there was someone there who could specifically give me a tour. When I came in, I was whisked away to an ugly sales office to waste my time discussing how superior this gym is to others in the area...not telling me anything about why I would care. I mentioned that we have family with memberships at this gym, and thats what brought me in, but for some reason it turned into a pre-qualification situation anyway. I had to answer qustions about my husbands job, our history, insurance, etc. before I even got to see the facility. She then let me know the absolute highest rate I would pay instead of the current enrollment special (ignoring twice my requests to tour the facility). When she explained our initial costs would be over $600 for a family of three, she made a comment that the price keeps the club exclusive. I had to hold back the laughter at that point. Its not a country club!! She seemed incovenienced when I asked her to write numbers down for me. On the third request to tour the building, she made an awkward comment about my toddler being asleep (in a small stroller). It would have been nice if she had offered the elevator instead, but at five months pregnant I carried my toddler for the whole tour, adding to my frustration. I noticed the elevator on my way out. During the tour she explained most things require a hefty upcharge in addition to the membership dues of over $200 per month. Pilates, certain yoga classes, swim classes, tennis access, etc are all at minimum, an extra $25 per month, per activity, per person. For reference, my husband has a membership for only $24 per month at their main competititor. Also, there are two all inclusive community centers within 7 miles of this gym that are under $120 per month for a family membership. The only advantage that I could see for this one would be the womens locker rooms were a tad nicer, but just a tad. The White Bear ymca is actually nicer as a facility overall, far more accommodating to families, (and way less stuck up). Honestly, what a joke! A new sales manager might be a good idea for this business.

I had been going to this gym since it was the old white bear swim, and really like the Life time fitness feel, but i ended my membership in July of 2015, and go look at my cc statement from sept and I see that they are still charging me. . This along with staff that act like snobs and dont say even a simple Hi is the reason why ill never go to this lifetime again. . I have had a way better time at the woodbury or grand ave locations.

The facility is clean, modern, and brimming with 1st class amenities.Indoor & outdoor pool, indoor & outdoor tennis, beautiful studios, pilates, and the typical cardio and resistant training equipment.The locker rooms are state-of-the art, offering a steam room, sauna, shaving cream, mouth wash, lotion, hair spray, deoderant.Life cafe has a full menu, including beer and wine.The staff will bend over backwards to accomodate you.Highly recommended!

Nice facilities but the monthly cost is significantly more.

Great welcoming environment

Good pool and big locker room.

Not clean, slow paced help, way to much money

Great equipment

Jacuzzi fits two people and you have to walk out of locker room and past desk to get to. Plus it’s always closed for maintenance. They need to put a sauna and bigger jacuzzi by the pool, this is supposed to be a onyx gym! Showers areas are small like the size of old phone booth.

Great service
