Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. is a health, fitness and lifestyle company headquartered in Chanhassen, Minnesota, where its corporate, product and brand leadership teams sit close to one of its flagship athletic clubs. The business grew out of a single fitness center concept in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area and evolved into a network of large, resort-style athletic country clubs. That trajectory—from regional health clubs to an integrated “healthy way of life” platform—shapes how the company positions itself today.
The company operates primarily under the Life Time brand, designing, building and running multi-use athletic country clubs across the United States and Canada. These destinations combine strength and cardio floors, group fitness and studio spaces, indoor and outdoor pools, racquet sports, kids’ programs, spa and recovery services, cafés and coworking areas. A complementary digital layer, delivered through Life Time’s app and online content, extends programming into on-demand and remote experiences, tying club-based memberships to at-home fitness and lifestyle engagement.
Operations are built around a vertically integrated model in which Life Time designs, develops and manages most of its own clubs rather than simply franchising its name. Real estate, construction oversight, club design, staffing and ongoing operations are coordinated from Chanhassen, supported by regional leadership and local teams at each destination. The company also owns and produces a portfolio of endurance and athletic events—such as major races and triathlons—which are managed alongside the clubs and create another touchpoint with members and athletes beyond the four walls of the facilities.
Life Time is recognized as a premium “athletic country club” operator rather than a conventional gym chain. Its reputation rests on large-format, resort-like facilities, a broad range of in-club programs, and an integrated ecosystem that ties physical clubs, digital offerings and branded events into a single member experience. That combination has made the Life Time name closely associated with high-service, multi-amenity fitness destinations for individuals and families looking for more than a basic workout space.
