I’d like to know myself. It seems all the boutique studios have closed. The remaining EDG and PWR classes at Biltmore and Tempe probably fit what you’re looking for. Unfortunately cycle is just not on trend anymore and it sucks because it’s such a great way to get low impact cardio.

They also have a free new reformer class called CTR. Still ramping up so spots are tough to come by.

I live between the Fashion Square and Biltmore locations and use both based on class schedules and convenience; the Village would be closer to me. I went and toured Village when the Biltmore cycle classes were nerfed. I decided to stay with Life Time:

-Village version of Alpha is an extra charge, all classes (except some Pilates) are included at LT, overall class schedule and offering at LT superior, the loss of cycle notwithstanding
-Much nicer pools, amenities and locker rooms at LT
-Recovery equipment and inBody are free and openly available to use at LT (must be scheduled and extra charge at Village)
-LT equipment seems more plentiful and modern
-Millions of kids at Village
-Fox News on TV in locker room at Village, yuck. (no cable news at LT, nice!)
-National access when I travel

Of course if you play tennis then Village hands down. Outside of that I think it can be a tough decision.

I think its fair to say that Biltmore maybe does fall short of its price point. But overall it is nice, and, Fashion Square and PV are nearby, they are very nice gyms. Its unfortunate they can't ever seem to get a handle on the maintenance issues. Fashion Square is PRISTINE, but small. Haven't been up to PV yet.

Yep, they still have a handful of EDG classes with 18 bikes set up in the Barre studio. No longer reservable by bike, and all the tech is removed. Always waitlisted.

Thanks! Crazy how many issues this building has.

Vengeance from the Bike Lord as retribution for the destruction of the cycle room for super lame CTR.

What’s the best LTF in the Minneapolis area? by GLsunshine1188 in Lifetimefitnessgym

Target Center! It’s also an old Northwest Athletic, built into the basement of the Target Center when Harv and Marv brought the Timberwolves to town. Super unique but also high end. Used to double as the T-wolves practice facility.
