CHANHASSEN, Minn., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the nation's premier healthy lifestyle brand, has been named to Fast Company's prestigious list of the World's Most Innovative Companies of 2025. In addition to being one of only 50 companies to make the list, Life Time was also named number one in the Wellness and Personal Care category.

This year's list shines a spotlight on businesses that are shaping industry and culture through their innovations to set new standards and achieve remarkable milestones in all sectors of the economy. Alongside the World's 50 Most Innovative Companies, Fast Company recognized a total of 609 organizations across 58 sectors and regions.

"Being named to Fast Company's top 50 Most Innovative Companies list and securing the top spot in Personal Care and Wellness, is a testament to the unwavering commitment we have to help our members live healthier, happier lives. Every day, our incredible team delivers the best programs, places and experiences with an unwavering commitment to innovation, further accelerating the desirability for our brand," said Bahram Akradi, Life Time Founder, Chairman and CEO.

Since its beginning in 1992, Akradi has embraced unrelenting innovation at Life Time, starting with his vision to create a company built on "Member Point of View" or MPV. Life Time was the pioneer in requiring no long-term contracts or commitments, but rather prioritizing members' experiences and operating clubs people coveted. Since that time, Life Time has built an entire healthy way of life ecosystem that supports every aspect of healthy living, healthy aging and healthy entertainment, now extending into AI with enhancements to its complimentary app that makes Life Time available to everyone, its LTH proprietary line of nutritional and supplements, and more. 

Life Time secured its spot in this year's Most Innovative Company list by redefining health and wellness through performance and longevity-focused offerings. This includes its groundbreaking MIORA clinics featuring cutting-edge Metabolic Code bloodwork analyses to deliver personalized insights, optimizing nutrition including GLP-1s when appropriate, fitness, and recovery for peak performance and lasting well-being.

Additionally, Life Time's bold investment in pickleball—hiring top professionals, partnering with premier companies and the world's top players in the space and launching a Racquet Sports Board co-chaired by sports legend Andre Agassi.

The World's Most Innovative Companies stands as Fast Company's hallmark franchise and one of its most anticipated editorial efforts of the year. To determine honorees, Fast Company's editors and writers review companies driving progress around the world and across industries, evaluating thousands of submissions through a competitive application process. The result is a globe-spanning guide to innovation today, from early-stage startups to some of the most valuable companies in the world.

"Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future," said Fast Company editor-in-chief Brendan Vaughan. "This year, we recognize companies that are harnessing AI in deep and meaningful ways, brands that are turning customers into superfans by overdelivering for them, and challengers that are introducing bold ideas and vital competition to their industries. At a time when the world is rapidly shifting, these companies are charting the way forward."
