I joined Life Time Fitness in September of 2014 and have exclusively gone to the Highland Park location. My main reason, besides trying to get/stay in shape, for joining was the Childcare Center. I have three young children at home, which makes it difficult to exercise. Also, I hate exercising outside in the winter. When I signed up I only added my (then) infant daughter. The total cost was $90 a month. This may sound like a lot until you consider that I bring in my daughter nearly every time I come in to work out, which ideally is about 12 times a month. Also, my insurance (Medica) pays $20 to the next month's premium if I go at least 8 times a month.

The facility is very clean. I've never had any problems with any of the machines. The Childcare workers are pleasant and easy to talk to, and they do a great job watching the children. The parking garage can get full at busy times, (Monday morning) but I've never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for a spot to become available.

I haven't taken any classes yet or made use of personal trainers or the LifeSpa so I can't comment on those amenities.

I highly recommend this Life Time Fitness location.
