Founder and CEO Bahram Akradi told analysts that Life Time’s premium, highly differentiated fitness and wellness offerings are helping the operator insulate itself from consumer pullbacks
Life Time posted another strong quarter, raising its full-year outlook as the athletic country club operator expands beyond fitness and into longevity, nutrition and digital wellness.
For the third quarter of 2025, Life Time reported total revenue of $782.6 million, up 12.9% year-over-year, and net income of $102.4 million, a 147% jump from the same period last year. The company lifted its full-year outlook, now expecting revenue between $2.978 billion and $2.988 billion.
“We are pleased with another quarter of a strong performance and growth,” Life Time founder and CEO Bahram Akradi said on Tuesday’s earnings call. “Our growth strategy is clear — first, accelerating new club growth, and second, maintaining our maniacal focus on member experiences, growing member engagement and revenue.”
Life Time opened one new center in the quarter and now operates 185 locations. Akradi said the company expects to deliver 12 to 14 new clubs in 2026 and beyond, with 13 already under construction. Eleven of those will be large-format locations averaging about 95,000 square feet.
“Our urban clubs are doing incredibly well, and our suburban clubs are doing better than ever,” Akradi said.
Unaffected by Economic Uncertainty
Asked by analysts about consumer resilience amid macroeconomic uncertainty, Akradi said Life Time isn’t seeing weakness among its members.
“All the clubs are making money,” he said. “All of our mature clubs, collectively, are making more money than they were making in the past. So all the execution that we have put in place is working.”
He credited the brand’s premium offerings for insulating it from consumer pullbacks.
“The consumer that goes to Life Time chooses Life Time because of its differentiation,” Akradi said. “We’re not seeing anything different than the past in terms of how the customer is responding to what we are delivering right now.”
Member engagement continued to climb, with average monthly visits per member up nearly 6% year-over-year. Total visits rose 7%, while revenue per center membership increased 11.3% for the quarter. In-center business revenue jumped 14.4%, driven in part by Life Time’s Dynamic Personal Training program, which Akradi said is generating “record-breaking” revenue in some clubs month after month.
Miora Expansion on the Way
The company also spotlighted progress in its Miora longevity clinics, LTH Nutrition line and L.AI.C, its AI-powered health companion that offers personalized support across fitness, nutrition, recovery and more.
Life Time plans to open four to five new Miora longevity centers within the next 90 days and expand the concept “much more aggressively” across many markets by the end of 2026, Akradi said. The clinics offer weight loss medications, peptides, hormone replacement therapy and other popular wellness modalities, such as red light therapy.
Akradi also said Life Time plans to release new features for L.AI.C for both club members and non-member digital subscribers by the end of the year. The company currently has about 2.75 million digital accounts (non-club members who engage with the app) and expects that number to exceed 3 million by early 2026.
Opportunity Amid Supplement Scrutiny
When asked by an analyst on a recent Consumer Reports investigation into contaminants found in popular protein powders, Akradi said Life Time views the scrutiny as an opportunity to further distinguish its supplement line, LTH Nutrition, through its testing and quality standards.
“A lot of the work we did started by looking at the nutritional space and seeing how the lack of regulation has created so many products that do not have proper manufacturing or third-party testing,” Akradi said. “People just don’t do it — it’s expensive — and you end up with products that either don’t contain what they claim or are contaminated.”

“We put a significant amount of energy into making sure every product is formulated correctly and tested,” he said. “The key is to make sure you have incredibly safe, minimal amounts of heavy metals, and we have some of the absolute cleanest products on the market.”
He added that LTH Nutrition has been growing within Life Time clubs, citing the success of its sleep supplement, Dream: “It’s an absolute home run. We launched it, and it immediately took off.”
Looking ahead, Akradi said the company plans a more aggressive push for LTH Nutrition in 2026 and will expand its product line.
Life Time will provide its full-year 2026 outlook in January.
