Our Commitment to People, Our Communities and Our Planet


At Life Time, we’re committed to making a positive impact on the health and wellness of our members and team members — along with the communities in which we operate. Our environmental stewardship extends from the healthy design and operation of our destinations to the initiatives of the Life Time Foundation to improve children's nutrition in schools.
