Life Time Expands Athletic Country Club with New Pickleball Center in Palm Beach Gardens
Life Time Expands Its Athletic Footprint in Palm Beach Gardens
Life Time, Inc. (NYSE: LTH), a leading name in the athletic country club landscape, has recently announced a significant expansion at its Palm Beach Gardens location, signaling a vibrant future for fitness enthusiasts in the area. The expansion encompasses a new 20,500-square-foot facility dedicated to pickleball, a 24-reformer CTR (Core Tone Reform) studio for high-energy workouts, and an increase of over 5,600 square feet of exercise-floor space.
The New Pickleball Destination
Set directly across the road from the existing 136,000-square-foot athletic club, the new pickleball facility includes six state-of-the-art courts that are perfect for various activities, including leagues, tournaments, special events, and open play. This addition caters to the growing demand for pickleball in the community, a sport that has seen a dramatic rise in popularity across age groups.
Expanding Fitness Opportunities
Further enhancing the offerings at Life Time Palm Beach Gardens, the club has added 45 weekly CTR classes designed to combine Pilates-inspired movements with athletic conditioning. This innovative approach not only appeals to fitness aficionados but also addresses the increasing need for functional training space among members. As a response to this demand, the facility's existing exercise area is being expanded to offer a total of 31,000 square feet dedicated to strength training and cardio equipment.
Susan Mistri, Senior Lead General at Life Time Palm Beach Gardens, expressed her excitement about the development: _“Since opening in 2022, our members have shown tremendous enthusiasm for pickleball, our studio classes, and our strength and cardio training spaces, and we've seen the need for more.”_
A Focus on Community and Wellness
The investment in new facilities reflects Life Time's ongoing commitment to evolving its athletic country clubs based on member interests and engagement. The expansion aims to provide members with enhanced opportunities to lead healthy and active lifestyles.
Alongside the new pickleball courts, members will also find lounge spaces perfect for social interactions before and after matches, as well as retail offerings that feature athletic gear and sportswear. A grab-and-go cooler stocked with healthy food and beverages will also be available.
Located within EDENS' bustling 403,000-square-foot Downtown Palm Beach Gardens lifestyle center, Life Time offers more than just fitness. The club includes a sought-after rooftop beach club and a Life Time Work lounge, ensuring a comprehensive lifestyle experience for its members.
Looking Ahead
As the new pickleball destination and CTR studio open their doors, the expansion of the exercise floor is expected to follow soon. The overall goal is to empower members to live healthier, happier lives while strengthening community ties through various forms of engagement.
