Introducing a New Standard in Hybrid Athlete Competition: Life Time Debuts LT Games Presented by Ten Thousand Oct. 25-26 in Minneapolis; Registration Now Open

Innovative 17-stage event challenges men & women in strength, endurance, power and agility with consistent judging standards

CHANHASSEN, Minn., Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time (NYSE: LTH), today announced the October debut of its much-anticipated LT Games, presented by Ten Thousand, a unique hybrid-athlete competition that sets a new standard in the emerging field of hybrid fitness competitions. Combining Life Time's premium athletic country clubs, elite coaches, unmatched equipment and proven track record of orchestrating iconic athletic events, the LT Games will not only feature top-tier competitions but also inspire, train and recognize the next wave of hybrid athletes through dedicated programs and classes in its clubs.

Registration is now open online for athletes linked here. The LT Games are open to both members and nonmembers of Life Time.

The inaugural LT Games will debut at Life Time Target Center in Minneapolis on October 25 and 26, bringing together hundreds of athletes to test themselves in 17 unique stages that measure strength, endurance, power and agility. A hallmark of the LT Games structure is the choose-your-own-adventure approach, which balances intensity and accessibility. Using a weight-to-repetition scaling system, participants customize their efforts to align with their strengths. For example, opting for heavier weights means fewer repetitions, whereas choosing lighter weights requires more reps. This ensures the competition is equitable and more accessible.

"The vision for Life Time's LT Games is to set a new standard in the hybrid competition space with top-tier experiences through our premium clubs, our incredible coaches, training programs and unmatched equipment to set us apart," said Wes Robertson, LT Games Race Director at Life Time. "This event is the result of months of testing to ensure a fair, repeatable format, including consistent judging standards, that truly challenges athletes. It's also a great experience for spectators, with layouts that make it easy to follow and cheer on an athlete. Our long-term vision includes expanding with club-level competitions and a true national championship with regional winners."
