FRISCO, TX – Life Time (NYSE: LTH), one of the nation’s premier healthy lifestyle brands, announces the expansion of its elite LT Games hybrid athletic competition to North Texas, anchored by the opening of its second dedicated HYBRID XT studio at Life Time Frisco. The first location debuted in 2025 at Life Time Target Center in Minneapolis.
