Lifetime Fitness raises monthly fees

The guys I ride with on Saturdays were commenting about the same thing.  I think they brew their own swim WO's, so it's a non-issue for them cost-wise, but they were definitely commiserating with the folks in the Masters class.

Hey at least your locations have a Masters program. I have started going to Mtn View for Masters after I recommended TWO overqualified people to teach Masters at MBR and they managed to run both off with their inefficient hiring practices. When you call a prospective employee for a "second interview" several times after they have already had a second (and third) interview it doesn't speak well for your organizational skills.

I got that lovely email from John's Creek too even though I signed up at Sugarloaf and go to both locations as I'm right in the middle of the two.  I'm wondering if Sugarloaf is going to do the same soon or if it is only justifiable in those upper class areas (speaking of, we went to the pool and my husband teased me about whether I was going to have any "improvements" done like a good percentage of the women there.....)

I would love to drop in occasionally for masters swimming but would never opt for anything more than a punchcard.  And yes....the website is miserable and a circus to navigate.

bmadd - 2009-08-04 9:35 AM Yes, I got the same exact email from Alpharetta location last night. What is the new deal with Masters class? I was getting close to joining one of those. LTF has always been ridiculously expensive but I have always justified it because I thought the niceness and convenience of it made me go more often that I ever did at YMCA. Now at $117/month (family plus 2 kids), I may reconsider. I mainly need the pool for IM swim training but I guess I could join Dynamo for much less.

So far sounds like the raise if for family memberships?  Maybe Mila will read this and chime in.

Even the TdF spoilers?

DOH!  Busted.  Yeah, well, eventually I read them... but only after I watched .

There's lots to love about LTF .

Lisa, I PM'ed you right after your post.

I asked the question today about who, specifically, the dues increase affects.  If you have a single membership, your dues will not increase.  If you have a couples or family membership and you joined before May 1st, 2008 (which is when new member dues increased for couples/families), your dues will increase $2.00 to $5.00 per month depending on your location/membership type.  If you joined after that date, there should be no change.
