Life Time Group (NYSE:LTH) (NYSE:LTH) operates a network of premium health and wellness centers designed to support an active, healthy lifestyle. Founded in 1992 by Bahram Akradi and headquartered in Chanhassen, Minnesota, the company has evolved from a single fitness facility into one of North America’s largest full-service athletic resorts. Over its history, Life Time has blended fitness, spa, and hospitality concepts to create a differentiated membership experience, reflecting its commitment to holistic well-being.
The company’s core business centers on membership-based access to an array of amenities, including state-of-the-art fitness equipment, group exercise studios, indoor and outdoor pools, sports courts, and a variety of specialty training programs. Life Time further extends its services through on-site spas, nutrition coaching, childcare services, and signature café offerings. In recent years, it has expanded digital and hybrid fitness options via its Life Time Digital platform, enabling remote access to live and on-demand classes that mirror its in-club offerings.
Life Time Group’s footprint spans dozens of markets across the United States and Canada, with locations in major metropolitan areas and select suburban regions. The company continues to pursue strategic growth through new club openings, geographic expansion and the development of mixed-use real estate projects that integrate residential, retail and office space alongside fitness facilities. This diversified approach aims to reinforce Life Time’s position as a lifestyle brand rather than a traditional gym operator.
Under the leadership of Founder and Chief Executive Officer Bahram Akradi, Life Time Group emphasizes innovation in wellness programming and member engagement. The management team leverages extensive industry experience to refine service offerings and explore partnerships in sports, hospitality and digital health. As the company scales, it remains focused on enhancing the guest journey, strengthening community ties and delivering comprehensive solutions that span fitness, recreation and healthy living.
