Life Time Fitness Grand Opening- and a Giveaway!

This past Wednesday, I had the pleasure of going to the opening party for a new health center in town, Life Time Fitness. Prior to my invitation last week, I must admit, I had never heard of the place and hence, had no idea what to expect.





As I pulled up to the center and saw the insane amount of people and traffic, it became clear that Life Time Fitness isn't your typical gym.



I thought "This is crazy! What is it about this place that would attract thousands of people?" Well, after meeting up with one of LTF's reps, I went on a full tour and quickly became impressed, overwhelmed and excited. I'm not sure where to start with my photos, so let's just dive in, shall we?

Gorgeous indoor (and outdoor!) pool & sauna facilities:









Full spa and salon (you mean I can get my hair cut AND attend a spin class in the same building?):



The Life Cafe & Shop:



HUGE menu with healthy options for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a quick snack. And of course, everything on the menu is health-conscious and includes nutritional info. Their Kids menu even includes *baked* chicken strips! From the Life Cafe menu: "We're delighted to serve artisan bread made with unbleached flour and dressings and sauces made from scratch with all-natural ingredients... No artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives or trans fats."



Meeting all of your supplement needs!

[Multiple!] Tennis Courts:




Pilates (Mat Pilates is also offered):



Indoor Rock Climbing:



Full Basketball Court:



Boxing, Kickboxing and Mixed-Martial Arts (for adults and kids!):



[Insane amount of] Latest Cardio Equipment & Fully-Stocked Weight Room:







(not sure what this is, but I'm dying to try it- looks like a cross between an elliptical and a stair master!)



In addition to offering just about every piece of equipment you can imagine, they also include popular classes (Zumba, Spinning, Vinyasa Yoga, etc.), so your fitness routine will never get stale.

Life Time is also very much family-oriented, so of course there's a children's center with plenty of indoor and outdoor activities to keep them occupied while parents get their workout on.

And as if all of the above wasn't enough, Life Time kicks things up another notch and offers metabolic testing and other fitness assessments at their LifeLab, to help you better reach your health goals:



The cherry on top: Great view of Pikes Peak:



Now back to that whole "Giveaway" bit...

OMG. I'm not entering for obvious reasons but I'm kinda wishing I was in CO right about now! That pool and sauna area is absolutely sick. The Precor AMT (the one you want to try) is absolutely amazing, I burn about 100 more calories in the same amount of time when on the regular elliptical. It's such a great workout. Thanks for sharing the details on this place, I need to see if there are any in my area!

That place looks amazing! I'd totally give it a try especially since Erik and I need to start working out. I'm trying to look for a place where I can do a lot in one spot (like dancing, cardio, and heck throw swimming in there!). Enter me up so we can win some passes!!

Heard really good things about Lifetime. That pool looks absolutely gorgeous.

I really want to try their zumba classes and really just think this is one gym I wouldn't mind going to. Very luxurious, which isn't something I associate with gyms. ;)

Looking forward to the environment of training with professional trainers that care. I am amazed at how family friendly Lifetime Fitness is and that's a big deal to me! The options are endless at Lifetime and I'm extremely thrilled at managing my account online, earning points, and having endless options at my fingertips. 24 hours a day - you can't go wrong. Physical Fitness is huge in my home and this place is perfect for us!
