There are pros and cons to the rapid-growing pace of the health retail industry: On one hand, there’s always a new product that could support your well-being in new ways. On the other, it can be a challenge to know what’s made to be effective versus being all flash. Having a trusted, credible retailer to turn to can make all the difference.
Life Time is committed to helping people improve all aspects of their wellness, and that includes offering research-backed products that can enhance their efforts. These items are available on the LT Shop.
“Life Time has more than 30 years of industry experience and 40,000 health and wellness professionals around the country who test and use LT Shop products,” says Craig Laing, vice president of ecommerce at Life Time. “Nobody has the sort of testing and vetting community that Life Time has — and nothing shows up on the LT Shop site that isn’t the best in its category. LT Shop is designed to be an extension of the offerings inside Life Time’s athletic country clubs — and they work together to help people live healthier lives.”
Anyone is welcome to shop on LT Shop, regardless of whether they’re a Life Time member. However, if you are a Life Time member or choose to create an account (at no cost), you can access the loyalty program, as well as exclusive pricing and offerings.
These are just a few of the reasons to make LT Shop your go-to wellness store.
1. All products are handpicked, curated, and vetted by Life Time experts. Each product is researched and tested before it makes its way to the LT Shop. Whether you’re shopping for fish oilours is sourced from wild-caught anchovy fish in the South Pacific and is a purified and concentrated triglyceride form of EPA and DHA) or a pickleball (ours is self-engineered and designed for improved play, consistency, and durability) you can trust the quality. Life Time dietitians, trainers, and other team members evaluate — and in some cases, are intimately involved in the creation of — the offerings, so you can feel confident in your purchase.
“Everybody from our CEO to our teams at the corporate office and in the clubs vet our products, depending on who’s the expert in the given space,” says Laing.
The entire LTH supplement line, for example, features products that developed in a partnership between leading experts and physicians and Life Time’s seasoned registered dietitians, certified personal trainers, and professionals who have decades of hands-on experience supporting metabolic health at Life Time.
The LTH line, which has been around for more than 20 years, began with the commitment to make high-quality formulas more accessible. The team works diligently to make sure every product contains the right forms of each ingredient at the right doses. And unlike most companies, Life Time works with manufacturers that quarantine the raw ingredients and test them for purity before they hit the manufacturing line.
Additionally, products are both internally and third-party tested, including by NSF, whose test reports are available on the LT Shop product page. The team also regulates storage and transport to ensure supplements are at their highest quality when they get to the consumer.

2. Registered dietitians offer guidance for you. Which protein powder is best for you? Should you take a standalone magnesium or is the amount in your multivitamin sufficient? How can you put together a supplement regimen to enhance your workout performance?
If you’re unsure which LTH products are best suited for your needs and goals, take the LTH Quiz to get started. It includes questions about your symptoms, concerns, and goals and then matches you with products recommended by our team of dietitians to fit your needs.
On each LTH product page, you can find information around the benefits of the product, guidance for recommended use, and additional article resources if you’d like to learn more. “There’s a lot of robust educational content on the LT Shop site,” says Laing. “It’s not just a transactional store. We take the information on our pages and our product descriptions very seriously.”
3. Autoship can keep you on track with your routine. The LT Shop Autoship program allows those with an account to set a regular cadence for their LT Shop product deliveries. With choices that include every month, every two months, or every three months, they can even set different Autoship increments for each individual product.
“Your nutritional plan likely isn’t changing very frequently, so Autoship can be a nice set-it-and-forget-it option for those supplements you know you want to be consistent with,” says Laing. “You may also choose to use it on beauty products that are a consistent part of your regimen.
“Autoship can also be a good way to hold yourself accountable to your nutritional regimen,” Laing continues. “For instance, if you still have half a bottle of your PM multivitamins by the time your next LT Shop shipment arrives, it can serve as a nice reminder to check back in on how you’re keeping up with your daily habits.”
(Bonus: You also get an extra 10 percent off products ordered with Autoship.)
4. Loyalty rewards build each time you buy. With every purchase you make, your loyalty points accumulate. You may also qualify for bonus reward points during special promotions and events. You can then redeem reward points at checkout on future purchases: 100 points equals $1.
Any orders over $99 from members get free shipping.
