Community Safety

Taking Care — For Us All

Consistent with local government guidelines, members may be encouraged or required to wear masks. As updated CDC guidance no longer requires fully vaccinated individuals to wear masks in most indoor and outdoor settings, the majority of our clubs are not requiring masks. However, unvaccinated individuals are encouraged to wear masks.

Enhancing Air Quality

We are committed to meeting or exceeding the latest air circulation and filtration guidelines and are updating our HVAC systems, including integrating high-quality MERV 13 air filters in select, smaller spaces within our clubs. These filters are designed to capture up to 98% of microparticles from the air, including bacteria and droplets like those released in a sneeze. Your safety is our top priority. Bryan Janowiec, Vice President of Facility Operations at Life Time, walks through these extensive health and safety updates we’ve made.
