Life Time keeps thinking bigger.
What’s happening: The premium gym operator reported Q1 earnings, notching $788.7M in revenue and $88.1M in net income while raising its 2026 outlook on strong member engagement and performance.
Up in there. As membership hit ~838K across 190 open clubs, Life Time cashed in on higher average dues for new and ramping clubs. Lifting unit economics, quarterly in-center member spend neared $1K, driven by personal training and add-on services.
Already visiting more frequently and staying longer than at other leading clubs, per Placer.ai, Life Time is deepening engagement with new offerings, including a recently launching a healthtech pilot in select clubs.
Room for activities. This year, Life Time plans to open 12–14 clubs, each registering ~1.2M square feet, roughly 2x the size of recent builds. Expanding in-demand formats, it’s scaling pickleball, reformer Pilates, and hybrid fitness group training — creating a pipeline to its own fitness competitions.
Looking ahead: A premium play, Life Time is scaling a high-spend, full-stack ecosystem — placing the gym at the center of lifestyle and longevity.
