Life Time - Sugar Land (TX)

1 /5 Cindy Vivas: 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

1 /5 LeAnn Truong: I have been a Lifetime member for the past ten years, but I will be cancelling my membership this Wednesday. Although the membership cost is high compared to other gyms in the area, I had always found value in Lifetime because of its quality classes. Unfortunately, under the direction of Ms. Tisha Wisdom Lanni-Bodak, I have seen many popular classes shortened, reduced, or removed altogether. Members plan their schedules around these classes, and the constant upheaval of the class schedule under Ms. Tisha has made it difficult for me—and many others—to maintain a consistent exercise routine. This past Monday was my final straw. After a long day at work, I arrived for my 7 PM hot yoga class to find that the instructor, Ms. Ashley Murphy, was absent. No notice had been provided in advance. I and others went to Ms. Tisha to inquire about the change to the schedule and were informed that Ms. Ashley had been terminated. The handling of this situation was disrespectful to members, who were not notified that Ms. Ashleys class would be cancelled, and to Ms. Ashley, who was evidently given no prior notice of her termination. Given the poor management under Ms. Tisha’s leadership, I can no longer continue my membership at Lifetime. I will also be writing a letter to corporate to further detail my concerns regarding the erosion of quality instructors such as Ms. Hoda under Ms. Tishas leadership.

1 /5 Ana Maria: I have been a member at Lifetime Fitness at Sugarland for the past 10 years. Where I have been taking Ashley’s classes for the longest time. She is a TOP PERFORMING instructor, always challenging me in my gym journey here at Lifetime Fitness. Ashley has created a positive culture with our gym family, where our members support and motivate each other. This is what a TRUE LEADER should possess, the skills to motivate ourselves and keep us together in our fitness journey. She has been FIRED for no reason given. Destroying our gym family members. Lifetime has not been listening to the members concerns and have been taking decisions to benefit the few. Lifetime has been lacking a decisive leader for the past 2 years. The gym chain that was once at the pinnacle of fitness, has now fell short in leadership. THANK YOU ASHLEY MURPHY FOR BEING THE BEST OF LIFETIME SUGAR LAND!!!

1 /5 Auburn Smolij: Very disappointed in this club’s decisions of recent. They fired the most influential instructor at this club, Ashley Murphy, citing she’s “too tough”. She’s been here 14 years. She’s the reason I keep coming to this gym. Her classes are always full to the brim with waitlists. She was let go by a new fitness manager, Tisha Bodak. Ashley is what makes this gym what it is. She is motivating and amazing at what she does. She pushes you and has a cult following. People drive far just for her classes. There is no general manager currently and our complaints fall on deaf ears on corporate. They are destroying the family here at Lifetime Sugar Land. Bring Ashley back.

1 /5 truong phan: Ashley Murphy is the best trainer/instructor lifetime sugar land ever had and they fired her for no reason. Check out the class schedule and you will see that Ashleys classes are always full. I have to set an alarm to remind me to book her classes because they fill up so fast! In a world where numbers matter, lifetime sugar land fired the only trainer that fills the seats. Ashley pushes you to train hard every class from Xtreme to HIIT to barbell strength to name a few. And she does the exercises with the class to inspire you to push even harder. Every year she wins an award from lifetime corporate office, so explain to me why she was fired! Ive been with lifetime for 10 years. This may be my last.
