Life Time has practically everything you could want from a gym (and then some). The luxury fitness franchise comes equipped with deluxe amenities, saunas, steam rooms, and plenty of group fitness classes — not to mention Olympic-size indoor pools, rock-climbing walls, and areas to play pickleball, basketball, and tennis. In some ways, Life Time feels less like a gym and more like a mini wellness retreat. But given all that Life Time has to offer, what does a membership actually cost?

Life Time memberships are generally broken up into three tiers, with a fourth “Premier” tier at certain locations. Membership cancellations require a 30-day notice, and according to the Life Time website, new memberships come with a complimentary personal training session. Additional benefits include unlimited access to virtual training programs via the Life Time app, a month of free group swim lessons when you enroll your junior in recurring lessons, and a $25 LifeSpa credit to put toward any spa or salon service.

How Much Does Life Time Cost?

Life Time membership pricing varies depending on where you’re located. To give you a better sense of the price range, we explored membership costs in multiple different areas. For more specific pricing, you can build your membership here using your own details, or contact your local Life Time for more information.

Note that some memberships are not available in all major cities. Clubs in popular locations may also have a waitlist. If you want to get a feel for the gym without signing up for a membership, you can always request a tour.

Additional Costs

Most memberships allow you to visit multiple Life Time locations across the country, so long as they’re equal to or below your own price point. If you’re looking to attend a more expensive club, you must upgrade your club access by visiting the front desk or contacting your local Life Time at accountservices@lifetime.life. For example, a membership in Colorado Springs will give you access to five Life Time clubs in Arizona, but you’ll need to upgrade if you’re visiting the one in Scottsdale. Upgrading will cost a one-time service fee of $10 plus the applicable dues, according to the Life Time FAQs.

Something else to consider is childcare. Signature members have the option to register early for childcare and summer camps, but childcare is included with all memberships if a junior membership (a tier ranging from $30-$100 for children 13 and under) is purchased along with it. Kids can also opt to have their own membership at age 12, with a parent or guardian’s permission. There are also one-time initiation fees for new members ranging from $49 to $170, although these are occasionally waived depending on the time of year.

Certain Life Time locations offer Beach Club access for the one-time price of $899 per adult member and $100 per junior member (13 and under) for the upcoming 2025 summer season. This fee can be added to your membership after purchase, allowing you access to the outdoor pool area and its corresponding amenities (like towel service, full-service bistro, and water slides). Other services include the Life Time spa, salon, and café, to name a few.

Forgot your gym ‘fit at home? Don’t stress — Life Time also sells its own apparel, athleisure, and wellness gear. We’re big fans of this boxy cropped T-shirt ($38) and lilac sports bra ($70).

Is Life Time Worth the Price?

Life Time is undoubtedly on the pricier side — whether or not it’s worth it is up to you. “Almost all fitness classes are included. If you like to take classes it’s absolutely worth it,” one person wrote on Reddit. But others say they prefer CrossFit or less expensive box gyms. If you’re a dedicated gym-goer looking to upgrade your fitness routine, it might be worth the investment. But if you’re still on the fence, it might be worth trying a day pass or tour before committing to a full-fledged membership.
