Bay Area location for Life Time<\/a> at present is in downtown Walnut Creek at 1315 Broadway Plaza.<\/p>\nThe future San Jose location is expected to feature an array of amenities, according to Life Time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will have great fitness areas, fitness studios, personal training sites, yoga, pilates, cafe, work lounges, a sauna, and hot tubs,\u201d Akradi said. \u201cWe will have a kids\u2019 academy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Minnesota-based Life Time takes a different approach to fitness than is the case with typical health clubs in the United States, according to company executives.<\/p>\n
\u201cMembers are calling us a country club without the golf,\u201d said Natalie Bushaw, a spokesperson for Life Time.<\/p>\n
In March of this year, Fast Company placed Life Time at No. 23 on its list of the 50 most innovative companies of 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt goes much further than a typical gym,\u201d Bushaw said. \u201cLife Time takes a holistic approach to health, wellness, recovery and fitness. People can literally spend all day at Life Time, and they do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Life Time operates at least 175 athletic country clubs that have an average size of 100,000 square feet, according to the company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like a Four Seasons resort every time you walk into one of our country clubs,\u201d Akradi said.<\/p>\n
The company has 1.4 million members and 41,000 employees. Life Time also has at least 150 kids\u2019 academy locations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hope to open our San Jose location during the first half of 2027,\u201d Akradi said. \u201cIt depends on how quickly we can get permits.\u201d<\/p>\n
The coronavirus outbreak unleashed an array of shifts in how people view their personal health. Life Time executives believe the company\u2019s approach can capitalize on the new post-coronavirus attitudes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were steadfast about building a business that was more than just about staying healthy,\u201d Akradi said. \u201cIt was about community and about a healthy place for our members.\u201d<\/p>\n
It appears efforts are paying off, if the company\u2019s primary financial metrics are any indication.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur company has come back stronger than ever,\u201d Akradi said. \u201cWe are exceeding our pre-COVID member engagement, member satisfaction and member attention.\u201d<\/p>\n
Over the one-year period that ended in March, Life Time posted a profit of $207.5 million, an increase of 182.3%, or nearly triple, the profits over the similar 12-month period the year before.<\/p>\n
Revenue over the year-long period ending in March totaled $2.73 billion, an increase of 18.6% from the same period the prior year, according to the Finance Charts website.<\/p>\n
\u201cPeople are clearly emphasizing their health and wellness,\u201d Akradi said. \u201cWe feel well positioned to continue to serve those people.\u201d<\/p>\n
