I don’t go to the Clarendon location but have access to every other location in the area. To me, it’s the most worthwhile expense that I have, but I go to a class almost every day. If you go often you get to know the other members and the teachers, who are great.

You can bring guests (though the same guest can come only once every 60 days). There is unlimited pickleball, at least at my membership level (Signature). There are classes called GTX where you work with a personal trainer in a small group. Often there are free samples of foods and drinks. There are fun special events.

To me the membership is absolutely worth it.

It is really nice. I take a lot of classes so I justify the price that way.

The sauna and cold plunge are great. But I'm a big fan of Lifetime Fitness in general.

I don't know about Clarendon specifically but as a member of another Lifetime, the reason to join is the classes. At my location there are four studios plus the group personal training floor. If you are a person who just uses the equipment you can find that elsewhere for much cheaper.

Is it worth it? Looks nice but it is so hard for me to justify that much money.
