Life Time

This is the weight rack on a Saturday morning. ALL the weights are gone. Apparently they were being used for a class. If this was LA fitness, totally understand. This is Lifetime where you pay hundreds of dollars in membership. If weights are needed for a class, the gym should have extra weights rather than using all the free weights in the general area. “Sugarland Lifetime: We charge Lifetime prices and deliver Planet Fitness services.” *Side note, staff are all really nice people. Super helpful and always friendly :)

We liked Sugar Land LifeTime so far. But of recently, the new manager has been kicking out good instructors and cancelling good classes. we liked the strength training class by Ashley Murphy who was let go, even though she was a very good instructor. There was a good thursday yoga class by Hoda, which was also yanked off. Recently the prices were hiked too. But still the gym has been slashing good instructors and classes. It is all happened after the new Studio Manager hired. To add further, Yoga class by Hoda has been reduced to 45 mins now. I think thats not enough for yoga atleast given that first 15 mins and last 15 mins are mostly warm up and cool down, leaving only 15 mins of core yoga. Unfortunately, these reviews wont be looked by anyone higher up the corporate.

I was really sad to hear that Ashley is no longer working at this location. She was one of the most hardworking and caring instructors here. She truly cared about the members and the staff, always made everyone feel welcome, and was very motivating. You could really feel her passion, and she made a big difference in helping people stay healthy and consistent. It’s hard to understand why someone who gave so many years to this club and clearly cared so much would be let go. Ashley meant a lot to many of us, and it’s disappointing that member feedback didn’t seem to be taken into account. I hope management reflects on this and considers how important long-term, dedicated employees like Ashley and others are to the members and the overall community. On a side note, this location already feels different from other Lifetime Fitness locations, especially when it comes to maintenance and cleanliness.

I’ve been a member for over 10 years. One of the the highlights for me were the extraordinary group fitness classes led by Thais and Ashley. Ashley Murphy has been an award winning instructor multiple times over and always a kind, warm, positive human being. But, moreover, a fabulous coach and high quality fitness instructor who would always encourage and push us in all the best ways possible. Thais led my favorite spin classes! It was a highlight of my week to be in a room with her generous spirit, high energy music, and challenging routines. She was fired and has been and continues to be a great lose for Lifetime Sugar Land. Now the latest casualty is Ashley Murphy. Who very recently was fired for no reason. I am one of many people who can see this club in decline. And yet rates for membership keep going up! Please join me in telling the local management and corporate that they need to truly reconsider hiring back two of their best.

I have been a member of this club for more than 15 years. They recently wrongfully fired the best instructor they have Ashley Murphy. Ashley has been an integral part of this club’s identity and a major contributor to member satisfaction, retention, and long-term engagement. Her leadership, professionalism, and unwavering dedication have directly shaped the success of the group fitness program and have fostered a loyal community that many members consider irreplaceable. Her removal — without communication, transparency, or reasonable justification — has negatively impacted numerous members who have relied on her instruction, motivation, consistency, and expertise. Please bring her back
