CHANHASSEN, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CHANHASSEN, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Residents of Beachwood, Ohio and surrounding communities in the Cleveland area need not fear the dreaded New Year’s Resolution ever again! With the opening of its newest family-oriented sports and athletics, professional fitness, family recreation and entertainment destination, Life Time Fitness (NYSE:LTM) aims to help end the perennial failure of the New Year’s Resolution via its unique, resort-like center, large team of trained fitness and nutrition professionals, and unparalleled membership value. The new center, located at 3850 Richmond Road, is set to open its doors for use on Saturday, January 9, 2010, at 6:00 a.m. This marks the opening of Life Time’s first location in the Cleveland market and fourth in Ohio, joining locations in Deerfield Township, Dublin and Columbus.
“As we look to the start of 2010, many individuals and families will once again reestablish resolutions to get active and get fit,” said Jeff Zwiefel, Executive Vice President of Operations for Life Time Fitness. “With an eye toward helping people get their healthy-way-of-life journeys back on track and successfully achieving their goals, we are excited to bring our unique, family-oriented health and wellness destination to the Beachwood community. Unlike the typical health club, Life Time offers a facility that is more like a resort than a gym. Our comprehensive range of programs and services designed to meet the health, wellness, recreation and entertainment needs of the entire family is unmatched.
