Life Time's Remarkable Financial Performance in 2025
Life Time Group Holdings, Inc., a leader in the athletic country club sector, recently announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and the full year of 2025, demonstrating remarkable growth trends across various metrics. The company reported a 12.3% increase in total revenue for the fourth quarter, checking in at $745.1 million, and a 14.3% year-on-year growth to reach approximately $2.995 billion for the entire year.
Net income figures were also impressive, skyrocketing by 230.6% to $123 million for the fourth quarter, and by 139.2% to $373.7 million for the complete year. This significant jump in profits showcases Life Time's strategic initiatives that are evidently resonating with both members and investors alike.
The company's diluted earnings per share (EPS) reflected a growth of 217.6% to $0.54 for the fourth quarter and a 124.3% increase to $1.66 for the annual results. Adjusted net income rose by 28.4% to $77.4 million for the fourth quarter and jumped 62.3% to $325.5 million for the year, underpinning Life Time's operational efficiency and increase in membership value.
Bahram Akradi, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, proudly stated that the team’s dedication throughout 2025 has led to record financial performance. The surge in engagement among members, coupled with higher dues per membership and increased in-center revenue, has set a strong foundation as they gear up for 2026.
Life Time aims to continue this momentum with an ambitious growth plan targeting 12 to 14 new clubs to be opened by the end of 2026, which will significantly expand their operational footprint. Akradi emphasized that they expect to add nearly as much new square footage in 2026 as had opened over the previous two years combined.
In addition to the robust revenue and member growth, the company announced a $500 million share repurchase program, which reflects their confidence in achieving sustainable financial health while aiming for shareholder returns. With a strong balance sheet and consistent cash generation, Life Time is well-positioned to fund its strategic plans and further investment in club expansions.
The company saw its center operations expenses increase by 10.3% in Q4, attributed to costs associated with new and ramping locations, alongside additional expenditures in mature centers. This rise in operational expenses was comfortably offset by the remarkable increase in revenue, evidencing a coherent growth narrative.
Life Time’s center memberships grew modestly, reaching 822,380, marking a 1.3% increase compared to 2024, despite a slight seasonal dip from the third quarter. However, they reported an overall increase in total subscriptions to 872,936, including a minor uptick of 0.8% from the previous year.
As they look ahead, Life Time’s management is committed to not only retaining but also enhancing member engagement by optimizing their membership offerings and revenue streams. This strategy greatly supports their goal of aligning revenue growth with operational excellence and customer satisfaction.
In summary, Life Time Group Holdings has closed 2025 with exceptional financial results, strategic growth plans, and a clear commitment to sustainable development. As they embark on 2026, all eyes will be on how they navigate their expansion and continue to solidify their leadership in the health and wellness market.
