Life Time continues to expand in the New York City area: Life Time Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn is now open. This is the eighth Life Time location in the broader NYC area, and Life Time Dumbo, also in Brooklyn, is only two miles away.
Located in the Prospect Heights neighborhood, this athletic country club is in a prime location adjacent to the well-known sports and entertainment venue, Barclay’s Center. “I anticipate drawing a lot of fitness-focused young professionals to this club,” says Jared Graybeal, lead general at Life Time Atlantic Avenue. “I’m excited to immerse myself in our member base in New York City. Fitness is central to my own well-being and I’m excited to connect with others about it and support them on their healthy way of life journeys as well.”
Let’s explore the 37,372-square-foot Life Time Atlantic Avenue space:
Work Out Your Way
Discover your go-to studio class by trying a variety of cycling, yoga, barre, dance, strength, and cardio formats. There are six designated studios: one each for indoor cycling, Pilates, barre, yoga, boxing, and other unique-to-Life-Time group-class formats. Classes are taught by some of the industry’s top performers, with options for all fitness levels and interests.
Venture onto the expansive workout floor to find free weights, state-of-the-art cardiovascular- and resistance-training machines, and designated stretching areas. It’s easy to build and stay consistent with a fitness routine when everything you need is available in one convenient space.
The workout floor is also where GTX, Alpha, and Ultra Fit signature group training classes take place. GTX is a 50/50 blend of cardio and strength work; Alpha is centered around Olympic weightlifting and metabolic conditioning; and Ultra Fit is sprint-interval training combined with balance and strength efforts.
MB360, another signature group training class option, is also available to members. MB360 is a mind-body program that combines meditation and mobility work with functional strength and conditioning exercises.
Exclusively available at Life Time Atlantic Avenue is a new class under the signature group training portfolio: FIGHT CONDITIONING. This boxing class was created with MMA pros and is unlike anything else provided by any other Life Time location.
“This 50- to 55-minute class allows you to explore boxing combinations utilized by professional athletes in combat sports, ensuring that your training is both authentic and insightful,” says Phoenix Carnevale, class experience lead at Life Time One Wall Street in New York City. “This approach will enhance your understanding of how athletes effectively combine offensive and defensive techniques, fostering a greater appreciation for the intricacies of combat sports.”
The FIGHT CONDITIONING studio has hanging boxing bags on one side and equipment for strength and cardio work on the other. In class you’ll use boxing gloves, agility ladders, jump ropes, medicine balls, kettlebells, and more.
For members who want to advance their fitness experience, they can engage with a Dynamic Personal Trainer for one-on-one guidance (at an additional cost). (Learn more at “Achieve Your Fitness Goals With Dynamic Personal Training.”)
For those looking to incorporate more stretching and recovery into their routines, or could use some support with mobility, Dynamic Stretch is a Life Time offering in which a stretch specialist takes you through a full-body assisted-stretch session (at an additional cost).

Get Refreshed
Cool down, then get refreshed in the executive locker rooms, where you’ll find an array of amenities. In addition to daily locker use and fresh towel services, there are provided personal-care products like shampoo and conditioner, body wash, lotion, hairspray, cotton balls, and deodorant. Embrace the heat in the sauna located and reap the health benefits of that form of recovery.
Stay Nourished
Members can visit the coffee bar, juice bar, and lounge area for a pick-me-up throughout the day. Whether you’re craving a snack or in need of a caffeine jolt, this is the perfect on-the-go spot to help you transition to the next part of your day.
In addition to the convenience of this grab-and-go LifeCafe set up, this space is ideal for meeting up with a friend, catching up on emails or texts, or even taking a brief pause before heading back out into the hustle and bustle of the city.
