SANDY SPRINGS, Ga.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Life Time Fitness, Inc.

Marking the Company’s fifth location in Georgia, Life Time Athletic Atlanta will provide members with dozens of uncompromising healthy way of life programs that allow members to engage in their areas of passion and help them achieve success with their total health objectives, athletic aspirations and fitness goals. These include training, weight loss and nutrition, running, cycling, swimming and basketball, plus yoga, Pilates, and many more.
Located at 5590 Roswell Road #250 (404-257-0900), a comprehensive preview center is available beginning January 1 to provide consumers with a sneak preview of Life Time’s offerings, along with exclusive membership opportunities available only for a limited time.
