If you’ve ever signed up—or even considered signing up—for Life Time Fitness in Johns Creek, you probably know it’s not your average gym. Plush towels, eucalyptus steam rooms, rooftop lounges, and a café that serves grain bowls and smoothies—it’s as much lifestyle as it is fitness. But here’s the question locals are starting to whisper:
Are we paying more here in Johns Creek than members at other Life Time locations?
So, I decided to dig in.
First, the Basics: Johns Creek Pricing
Life Time Johns Creek currently offers two main membership tiers:
- Individual membership: Around $159/month
- Couples or family plans: Often start around $279–$319/month, depending on add-ons and the number of kids
This includes access to:
- Indoor and outdoor pools
- Full gym floor and studios
- Kids Academy
- Tennis (though court fees may apply)
- Events, Wi-Fi lounges, saunas, and more
It’s a premium experience—but also premium pricing.
Let’s Compare Nearby Clubs
Here’s what I found when comparing to other Life Time clubs in the region:
Alpharetta (Windward Pkwy)
- Individual: ~$149/month
- Slightly smaller than Johns Creek
- Fewer tennis options
- No outdoor pool
Peachtree Corners
- Individual: ~$129/month
- Beautiful space, newer feel
- No outdoor courts, smaller kids area
Sandy Springs / Perimeter
- Individual: ~$189/month
- Massive facility
- Rooftop pool, luxe spa, huge café
- High demand—can feel crowded
Buckhead (Atlanta)
- Individual: $189–$209/month
- Urban chic with valet, spa, rooftop
- Top-tier crowd, premium location
- Parking is a challenge
Nationwide Benchmark: Life Time in Charlotte, NC
- Individual: $129–$149/month
- Similar amenities to Johns Creek
- Lower price due to regional cost factors
So, Is Johns Creek Overpriced?
Not really—but it’s on the higher side for suburban clubs. You’re paying for:
- A strong tennis program
- Family-oriented features (Kids Academy, family locker rooms)
- A spacious, less-crowded feel
- Location in a high-income suburb with growing demand
If you don’t need tennis or kids’ amenities, a nearby club like Alpharetta might offer similar workouts at a slightly lower price.
But if your priority is quiet luxury, family features, and community atmosphere, Life Time Johns Creek may still hit that sweet spot—especially for parents balancing fitness with family time.
What Locals Say
“I don’t mind paying a little more,” said one longtime member. “I know the instructors, my kids love the Kids Academy, and it never feels packed.”
Others, though, have started exploring smaller boutique gyms, Planet Fitness, or YMCA options, especially with rising prices.
Bottom Line
Johns Creek is paying near-top-tier pricing for its Life Time location—but it comes with strong value for families and those who use the full spectrum of amenities. If you’re budget-conscious or only using the gym floor, you might be better off elsewhere.
But if you want a spa-like gym experience, towel service, clean facilities, and peace of mind in every visit—it may still be worth every dollar.
