As pickleball continues its explosive growth trajectory, luxury health brand Life Time has broken ground on Life Time Chanhassen Pickleball in Chanhassen, Minnesota, its first ground-up pickleball location in the country.
The 25,000-square-foot building, adjacent to the Life Time Chanhassen athletic country club, will feature eight indoor and seven outdoor pickleball courts, along with a viewing area, lounge, dressing rooms and more. Life Time Chanhassen Pickleball is expected to be completed in early 2024.
The company is seeking additional locations for its pickleball focused concept as it continues advancing its goal of having 1,000 or more pickleball courts by the end of next year.
“Life Time has been all-in on pickleball since 2021 and we aren’t slowing down as our members, and new members, continue to demonstrate their growing passion for this sport in Minnesota and beyond,” said Bahram Akradi, Life Time founder, chairman and CEO. “We’re committed to delivering the best experiences and serving our members with unmatched places and programs that help them live healthier, happier lives, and Life Time Pickleball Chanhassen is yet another component of this commitment.”
Life Time currently operates more than 60 permanent pickleball courts across 12 of its Minnesota clubs, and nearly 600 across the country. More than 250,000 people have played pickleball on Life Time’s Minnesota courts so far this year.
