People are often happier at work when they have flexibility. Having decision-making power over the environment in which they work and the cadence of when they work can result in boosted productivity and a better mental state.
This is exactly how Life Time Work, Life Time’s coworking concept, is designed to support working professionals — but with the added layer of health and wellness integrations.
“Life Time Work is intended to provide an elevated working experience for our members,” says Adam Mignogna, leader at Life Time Work in Bridgewater, N.J. “Our coworking facilities allow professionals to be productive in an array of spaces, depending on their preferences — think large, open coworking areas; private offices, desks, and phone booths; and conference rooms. They’re all designed with health and ergonomics in mind. And Life Time Work is the only coworking concept that combines exceptional workspaces with a world-class health club experience.”
(Life Time Work currently has 15 locations around the United States, including in vibrant hubs like Houston, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Atlanta — with more to come. See if there’s a Life Time Work near you.)
Many don’t know about the unique advantages Life Time Work has to offer, so we asked Mignogna to tell us more about the membership perks available. If you’re not yet a Life Time Work member, see if any of these could support a healthier work environment for you. If you are a member, browse the list to make sure you’re taking advantage of them all.
1. A dedicated support team.
As an entrepreneur, business owner, or member of a small or remote team, it can be hard to do so many things on your own. The Life Time Work staff is there to ensure a high-caliber work environment, from logistical office needs to helping you receive clients.
“In a really unique way, Life Time Work can become a significant extension of your brand and team as a concierge for your clients and guests,” says Mignogna. “If you’re expecting a client or guest, we can help welcome them in, offer beverages, and let you know they’ve arrived.
“Plus, when guests come in, they recognize the Life Time Work space immediately as a premium offering, which then becomes associated with your business,” he adds.
2. Access to the Life Time app — a go-to resource for tapping into your healthiest, happiest self.
As a Life Time Work member, you automatically get access to a Life Time digital membership. This means wherever you go, you have access to a wealth of resources centered around healthy living, all at your fingertips.
With the Life Time app, you can do everything from a daily workout or a guided meditation to asking L•AI•C (Life Time’s AI companion) for insights on all your health and wellness questions. You can also schedule a fitness class at a Life Time club, book a pickleball court, and more. (Learn more: “All the Ways to Use the Life Time App.”)
3. The ability to seamlessly blend health and wellness into your workday.
The proximity to Life Time’s athletic country clubs can help you be more health-minded, but Life Time Work also has other subtle ways to encourage healthy habits.
“There’s a thoughtful design to our spaces,” explains Mignogna. “Not only do our layouts encourage movement, but we have ergonomic furniture, like sit-to-stand desks and laptop bars in the lounge, to help you steer clear of a sedentary lifestyle.”
Life Time Work spaces also feature elegant touches of plant life and large windows that filter in natural light to maintain a serene environment.
“We also try to find unique ways to intertwine the club’s resources for our Life Time Work members,” he adds. “This can include chair massages from LifeSpa in our lounge, stretch therapy from LifeClinic chiropractors, or even nutrition coaching and educational sessions from our Life Time experts — the list goes on.”
Depending on your Life Time Work membership tier, you may also have access to the adjacent Life Time athletic country club and all its offerings and amenities, allowing healthy habits to be incorporated into your workday even more conveniently.
4. Complimentary snacks and beverages.
All Life Time Work locations have a community kitchen stocked with complimentary fresh-brewed coffee, flavored water, and healthy snacks like the ones carried in LifeCafe at Life Time clubs.
“If your location is integrated within a Life Time club or in proximity to one, then you can also order catering from LifeCafe, where meals are developed by chefs and approved by Life Time’s own nutrition and fitness professionals,” says Mignogna.
5. Opportunities to network and make connections.
Another benefit of a Life Time Work membership is being part of a dynamic community of professionals and entrepreneurs from a variety of fields, which can be fodder for unique relationships. Life Time Work encourages and facilitates connection building with networking mixers, professional roundtables, happy hours, and other community events.
“As we learn more about our members, we’re better suited to connect them with other people,” says Mignogna. “Professional relationships can happen organically by both simply sharing space with like-minded people as well as intentionally at hosted networking events.” (Learn more: “6 Ways to Network at a Coworking Space.”)
Life Time Work also aims to host monthly events for members — think Mother’s Day bouquet making, whiskey tastings, member mixers, and more.
6. Tech support and complimentary office services.
We’ve all experienced it — the frustrations of a printer that’s jammed or a slow and clunky internet connection. Leave the technology headaches to Life Time Work staff, who are ready to go with on-site, responsive tech support.
“As a Life Time Work member, you gain access to the gamut of amenities we provide, which includes secure and fast Wi-Fi along with complimentary printing, copying, scanning, and shredding services,” says Mignogna.
7. Diverse workspaces.
There is no one perfect way to work, and Life Time Work recognizes that. Every location features private and open-plan workspaces, state-of-the-art conference rooms, ergonomic furnishings, and private phone booths, available to all Life Time Work members regardless of membership tier.
Whether you are a stickler with your work style or it changes depending on the day or even hour, Life Time Work can meet you where you’re at — with style.
8. Host events for your guests and clients.
Life Time Work’s elegantly designed locations can transition from your workspace to a venue to host events (at an added cost). “Whether you’re hosting a small meeting or a networking mixer, the Life Time Work team can help ensure a seamless experience for all your guests,” says Mignogna.
Life Time Work Membership Options
Life Time Work offers three tiers of membership at most locations: private office, dedicated desk, and lounge, each designed to meet you where you’re at with your professional needs. Each Life Time Work membership option offers the ability to integrate a Life Time club membership at an added cost.
Private office: This membership grants you access to a secure, private space for you and your team with sit-to-stand Herman Miller desks and lockable filing cabinets. If your work requires confidential conversations with your team or you prefer a quiet, dedicated space, the private office membership would likely suit you.
Dedicated desk: This membership includes access to a reserved sit-to-stand Herman Miller desk within a shared workspace, along with secure storage and access to the open lounge area.
Lounge: This membership gives you access to an open-plan workspace with a variety of environments to support your unique workstyle. Features include private phone booths, collaboration nooks, varying desk options, printing, and refrigeration space (specific spaces and amenities vary by club).
Note: This offering is separate from the Life Time Work Club Lounges available inside select Life Time clubs, which come included for all Life Time club members.
Note: Life Time Work pricing, offerings, and club access will vary by location.
