Life Time – The Healthy Way Of Life Company
ANNAPOLIS, MD – Following the successful opening of Life Time Annapolis in November 2022 and the continued demand for pickleball and small group training, Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the nation’s premier healthy way of life company, unveils an expansion at Annapolis Town Center.
The new 46,000-square-foot space was designed to create new fitness and social experiences for current members and the community, and brings new energy to the former Bed, Bath and Beyond space, which closed in April 2023.
The expanded footprint of Life Time Annapolis, announced in May 2024, adds to the already in-demand athletic country club, which now covers nearly 90,000 square feet and includes:
- 11 permanent pickleball courts for open play, leagues, clinics and tournaments;
- Courtside social lounges with ample viewing and spaces for events;
- Small group training and Dynamic Personal Training spaces for Life Time’s exclusive Alpha, GTX and UltraFit classes;
- Additional best-in-class cardio and strength training equipment;
- Life Time Recovery and mobility services with hydro and cryo massage chairs, percussion massage and compression boots;
- A pickleball pro shop featuring equipment and apparel from JOOLA, lululemon and Life Time, including the new Ultimate Pickleball.
“From the moment we announced we were bringing pickleball to Annapolis Town Center this spring, the excitement has been building and we’re thrilled to bring even more opportunities for people to be healthy, happy and social,” said Parham Javaheri, Life Time Chief Property Development Officer and President Club Operations. “This was an opportunity to take over prime real estate in the bustling Annapolis Town Center, grow our existing footprint and spur additional growth from within our existing portfolio.”
Pickleball continues to be the fastest growing sport in the nation. Since 2021, Life Time continues to be at the forefront of the sport, topping more than 750 courts nationwide as of October 2024. The company recently revealed its own patented pickleball, created by Life Time Founder, CEO, and Chairman Bahram Akradi. In February, the Company named tennis legend, Andre Agassi, as its inaugural chair of the Life Time Racquet Sports Board to guide future growth.
