Life Time The Luxury Health & Wellness "Athletic Country Club" Redefining Modern Real Estate Founded in 1992 by Bahram Akradi and headquartered in Chanhassen, Minnesota, Life Time (NYSE LTH) is a premier global Wellness Anchor for Tier-1 Mixed-Use Developments, Regional Malls, and Master-Planned Communities. As of 2026, the brand has transitioned from a traditional fitness center model to a comprehensive "Athletic Country Club" ecosystem, encompassing nearly 190 locations across the U.S. and Canada. Under the 2026 "Accelerated Growth" initiative, Life Time is expanding its physical footprint with 12–14 new large-format club openings annually, increasingly serving as the primary anchor for high-profile mall redevelopments (e.g., Paradise Valley in Phoenix and Brea in Orange County). The 2026 operational model is defined by a "Holistic Health" proposition, integrating high-performance fitness with Life Time Living (luxury residential), Life Time Work (coworking lounges), and the L•AI•C™ AI-powered health companion. For landlords and developers, Life Time offers institutional-grade stability, massive daily foot traffic from high-net-worth members (averaging $218+ in monthly dues), and a "recession-resilient" lifestyle destination that drives significant co-tenancy value for adjacent retail and luxury dining.
