“We are better and stronger because of our differences. We are all equally important and valuable, and all should be empowered with the same rights and opportunities. Let’s make the challenges we have faced the foundation for a newfound commitment to move forward, and once and for all, truly love, respect, care for and treat everyone in our society equally.”

The Life Time Inclusion Council
Change starts from within
Life Time team members and leaders are purpose-driven and action-oriented — and that means integrating inclusion as a core value within every level of the company. We achieve this company-wide extension through the work of the Inclusion Council, which began in 2018 and is supported and actualized through more than 300 inclusion ambassadors at 150+ club locations across the U.S. and Canada.
