For many people, the holiday season takes them away from home — but that doesn’t mean it has to take them away from their health and fitness routines. As a Life Time member, you have access to the other 170-plus Life Time locations across the United States and in Toronto when you’re traveling.
If you find yourself in one of the following cities this holiday season, consider exploring the local Life Time. Try a new class format, meet a new instructor, and stay on track with those healthy-living goals you’ve been working toward all year long. (Not visiting one of these cities?

How Does Life Time’s Travel Policy Work?
Life Time members have access to any club location during occasional, short-term travel outside of their home club or network of clubs within their state. For example, a member at Life Time in Pickerington, Ohio, who is planning a vacation to Irvine, Calif., could look to visit Life Time Lakeshore-Irvine during their trip.
This benefit is available for short-term travel (no longer than one week) and is subject to each club’s discretion. If you’re planning a trip, contact the club you’d like to visit for more information.
Note: Access to certain services, programs, amenities, or areas within a club (including outdoor pools and racquet courts) may be restricted, conditioned, or otherwise limited by specific terms and may require a separate or supplemental fee for access or use. See club for additional terms and conditions that may apply. Frequent business travel, long-term work assignments, and temporary residents will require a membership upgrade; visit your Membership Concierge for more information. Additionally, you cannot use your guest passes outside of your home club at this time.
