Life Time posted strong Q2 results and is leaning into L.AI.C, its AI-powered health companion, as the next frontier in connecting its luxury clubs, Miora clinics and supplement line
Life Time is flexing more than muscle as its AI-powered wellness vision is starting to take shape.
The upscale athletic country club operator delivered another strong quarter, with double-digit growth across revenue and net income in Q2 as it continues to benefit from higher membership dues and an increase in in-center spending. Total revenue rose 14% year-over-year to $761.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, while net income jumped 36.6% to $72.1 million. Life Time also generated positive free cash flow for the fifth consecutive quarter.
“We are pleased with our second quarter results and the momentum we are seeing in our business,” Life Time founder and CEO Bahram Akradi said. “Total visits, visits per membership and retention continued to achieve all-time highs.”
Here are some key takeaways from Life Time’s second quarter earnings call:
Club Growth Is Back in Focus
With a strengthened balance sheet and improved credit rating, Life Time is shifting into growth mode.
“Growth is now our top priority,” Akradi told investors on Tuesday’s Q2 earnings call. “We are modestly accelerating the development of our new club openings from our robust pipeline.”
Life Time opened four new centers during the second quarter of 2025, bringing its total to 184 locations as of June 30. The company expects to open 10 new centers by year-end.
Digital & Wellness Adjacent Businesses Are Scaling
Beyond its upscale physical clubs, Life Time is investing in new verticals such as LTH, its growing supplement line, which saw revenue increase 31% versus the prior year quarter and LT Digital, which now has 2.3 million accounts (up 216% year-over-year).
Akradi also highlighted the performance of Miora, Life Time’s two longevity and performance clinics offering GLP-1s and peptides, noting that subscriptions and revenues are growing month over month.
“Several additional locations are slated to open in the second half of the year,” he added of Miora.
L.AI.C Anchors Life Time’s Digital Health Vision
One key focus of Life Time’s long-term strategy is L.AI.C, its newly launched AI-powered personal health companion, which is emerging as a central piece of the company’s digital health vision.
Developed in partnership with Microsoft and embedded in the company’s redesigned LT Digital app, the free L.AI.C service delivers personalized guidance across fitness, nutrition, recovery and sleep. The tool responds to prompts like “Help me build a three-day strength program” and offers supplement recommendations based on input from Life Time’s registered dietitians, a digital extension of the in-club experience.
On the company’s Q2 earnings call, Akradi described L.AI.C as foundational to Life Time’s ecosystem-wide approach to wellness.
“It’s something really special,” he said. “It takes a lot of work. It takes a big vision, takes a long time for it to get there. But we’re making solid progress literally every thirty to ninety days.”
Ultimately, L.AI.C is expected to deliver a whole picture of health that is personalized to each individual and connect all facets of Life Time’s business, including its clubs, Miora longevity clinics, and LTH supplement line, which Akradi has said he intends to grow into a billion-dollar brand.
“It will help LTH, it will help Miora, it will help the clubs,” he said, adding that his vision entails tens of millions of people using it. “It literally will help the whole ecosystem.”
Waitlist Strategy as Engagement Hits High
In response to an analyst’s question about how waitlists may be affecting membership growth, Life Time executives emphasized that capacity management remains centered on experience, not volume. The company says it continues to prioritize member satisfaction, using waitlists as a tool, not a KPI, to manage traffic and preserve the premium feel of its clubs.
“I want to be clear,” Akradi said. “The reason we have built such a strong brand over thirty-some years is because we have focused on the customer experience at all times. So our focus is to create a brand that is the place you will want to go to—a brand where the experience is coveted and that is our key focus on execution. And sometimes we need to implement a waitlist to make sure that doesn’t get out of control.”
“Waitlist is just… one of the tools that we use to manage the member experience,” Life Time CFO Erik Weaver added, noting that traffic patterns and club hours help inform when a location is placed on or removed from a waitlist.
“We said visit per membership [is] 12.7,” he added. “That’s the highest it’s been. And if you look at just total swipes across the system, they’re up 7.9% versus the prior year quarter. So the clubs are busy.”
Elsewhere in its member experience ecosystem, Life Time is adding cold plunges to more than 70 of its clubs and Reformer-based classes at select locations.
Pricing Strategy Still Has Room to Run
Life Time’s ability to raise prices without impacting retention remains a key advantage. The company reported an 11.8% year-over-year increase in average revenue per center membership, reaching $888 in Q2.
“We are not seeing any weakness in any part of our business and anything with customers at this point,” Akradi said, citing strong engagement across swipes, dues revenue and in-center usage.
Another exclusive concept is also in the pipeline. Life Time is preparing to open LT High Performance this September in Midtown Manhattan, a luxury performance club described as a “training ground for life itself.”
The $550-a-month membership includes access to more than 180 Life Time clubs nationwide and begins with a private onboarding session featuring VO₂ max testing, metabolic analysis, and in-body composition. The space will also serve as the new home of High Performance Lifestyle Training (HPLT), the experiential wellness company founded by Brian Mazza and recently acquired by Life Time. A waitlist for prospective LT High Performance members has been created.
