Addendum: it looks like myself and many others who have come to this platform to share our displeasure with the news of Sam’s departure from Mississauga, All got the same generic response. I can’t respond to the response so I am writing here asking what, if anything, was done to try to keep Sam in Mississauga?.I am not here to write about the facilities, which are in Fact, amazing. I have been a member here almost since it opened 12 years ago, and the one thing that keeps me coming back are the phenomenal instructors and coaches. Even though I have been a member for 12 years, it is the past eight months that I would like to focus on in this review. The instructors that introduced me to the world of the lifetime signature classes have motivated me and changed my life. Sam, Mariella, Tara,Sharon, Julie , Alex, Christine, Kristen and Pedro are all some of the most inspirational people in my life. I was very sad and disappointed recently when one of the OG instructors Alex was forced to leave because she wasn’t able to teach enough so they let her go. That was my first inkling that maybe the instructors were not appreciated or treated The way they should be treated. She was genuinely upset to be leaving a place she had helped build. In the past few weeks, I have watched as instructors get notifications on their phones, and their mood instantly changes as they are asked to change their music or their volume. Most of the classes are waitlisted every week and people all around the club Love these instructors and while maybe they may get the odd noise complaint, There are at least 20 of us who are appreciating the energy and enthusiasm that these coaches bring to our classes.A few months ago, I wrote an email about how amazing one particular instructor was and management didn’t even share it with her or respond. That was my first ever e mail and it left me feeling like our voice as members doesn’t matter.I am truly disturbed by management and how they don’t value these incredible people. The people are the heart of the club. If an organization cannot see that, there is a huge problem.Last night was my first workout in 8 months that I left feeling 1000x worse than when I came. Not because it was a bad workout. Completely opposite. I lifted more and felt strong. But I was sad. I found out Sam is leaving @lifetimeathletic.Sam has been a HUGE part of my wellness journey, motivating me and propping me up. I’ve watched him instruct early mornings and late evenings and he always makes everyone who takes his classes feel good, like we are accomplishing something. That’s special. He is a huge part of the positive atmosphere of the club, saying hi to everyone by name and helping us all become better,stronger versions of ourselves. I heard that some people have complained about his music choices (which are always on point for his classes) but for every complaint I truly believe there are 100 other people that love him but just don’t say it or write it in a Google review. Sam, I am actually teary and will miss your energy. You have changed my life and I am so mad at the haters (even though I know they are few) that have made you leave us. Sam, you da man!!! Thank you!!To all the instructors at Lifetime Mississauga, we all appreciate you and the people are the reason we keep coming back rather than going somewhere else. Lifetime Mississauga needs to understand that. Equipment is replaceable, people are not and people will do great things if they feel appreciated.

I’ve been a member at LifeSpa for some time now, my go to massage therapist is Misty Hickey! Her hands are quite magical and she is an extremely professional individual. She takes time to get to understand your needs so they by the time you are finished you feel satisfied. I highly recommend LifeSpa!
Yasmina Chami
I love the life spa! They are all so professional and kind. They really take the time to get to know you and your body’s needs whether it’s for a facial or a massage. After your appointment they walk you through next steps and what you should be doing to maintain and improve your body/skins health. I couldn’t recommend the lifespa enough!
The Mental Strength Coach
All in one stop for fitness, sports, health and relaxation. Friendly staff and professional coaches, trainers and so much more. If you have not been to Life Time then it's time to check it out.

I love this place for practice and attending swimming activities this place is fit for all

Premium gym, premium prices. No place compares when it comes to family activities. Age appropriate activities for kids while you work out. For adults, there are 16 squat racks compared to 2 at my previous gym. They need more benches for the bench press and dumbell areas. There also aren't enough 45 lbs weights local to the barbell bench area. There seem to be a lack of uniformity in the weights of their barbells. Some are 20kg, others are 15kg, but the problem is with the unlabeled ones. It's things like that, and how messy it can get during peak hours that prevent it from getting a 5 star. And for the price, it makes sense to hold this gym to a higher standard. The members themselves be slobs, by leaving towels, bottles and equipment everywhere. It just shows you, you can by a premium membership but still not bring any class or respect.During 6-8pm, it's hard to find any towels. The dining area and restaurant have some decent options, but I find it quite overpriced. Perhaps members who check in the gym should have a price break to incentize people to come more. The staff is friendly, helpful, and courteous. The classes being included in the memberships are fantastic. The equipment, swimming pool, plyometrics area, boxing area, squash courts, soccer field, stretch and massage area make this place comprehensive. Other than the few negatives that I mentioned, this gym is still top tier. You get excited everytime you go here. My 4 and 7-year-old kids would agree too.

I am paying $380 monthly. Every time I go I need to wait for any machine I want to use. the club used to offer a unique experience but now it is worse or similar than other gyms. I believe they are accepting more than their capacity and increasing too much the membership fee.

I’ve been a member since March and my experience has been amazing ! All classes , instructors cleanliness is outstanding. The locker is in good standing most of the time, but whenever Vanessa is working is beyond amazing!Love my experience!

Glória my trainer understands my weaknesses and has been strength training me and coaching me in this regard. I highly recommend her services. She also does great dynamic stretching which alleviates aches and pains.

This gym is amazing. Wide variety of classes, huge equipment room and great trainers. Charles Ajogi is a great personal trainer. He's helped me so much with my goals. He motivates me while being supportive and honest. I highly recommend him and the gym as well.
This club is amazing, even more if you are a parent. You have the kids club where you can leave the kids while they learn and have fun and then you can go and workout, use the pool or whatever you want to do. They have a lot of activities for adults and kids that are included in the price, even language programs.I have been here as a guest though, The only reason for not joining is because I live too far.They also have an amazing outdoor pool with slides during summer time, with a bar that serves food and drinks.

With rude, unprofessional, and arrogant staff this place is going terribly backwardAvoid samantha and charles if you still want to waste your time there
Gustavo Gil
Great space to spend time with family and friends. My kids love the Kids Academy and all the activities. I am partial to the gym and even though it can get crowded some times it is a really good gym. I want to Gloria (personal trainer) for helping me during the onboarding process, and for helping me push my limits during her weekly classes. Overall the staff is amazing and always ready to help, making it a great experience every day.
