Just in time to get in shape for the New Year, Life Time announced the December 31 opening of Life Time South Lamar within The Bouldin development at the heart of one of Austin, Texas’ most energetic neighborhoods. Life Time South Lamar represents the company’s ongoing expansion in high-growth, culturally influential cities and a new generation of clubs that are even more focused on blending social connection, high-end wellness and elevated, community-driven lifestyle experiences.
Life Time South Lamar marks the company’s 34th destination in Texas and its fifth club in the Austin market.
“Our new South Lamar destination reflects Life Time’s ongoing commitment to aligning with the lives of health-minded consumers in growing, urban markets. Austin, in particular, has seen a wave of focus on wellness, luxury, and community and we’re thrilled to add our fifth club here,” said Parham Javaheri, executive vice president, president of club pperations and chief property development officer. “We’ve always created spaces for more than just workouts — and now, with an even more intentional focus, we’re designing incredible spaces where members live their lives, connect with others and experience wellness in new and meaningful ways.”
The 57,000-square-foot Life Time covers two floors of the mixed-use Bouldin project, with expansive natural light and an elevated aesthetic fitting for one of Austin’s most active neighborhoods.
A standout feature at Life Time South Lamar is the signature co-ed wet suite offering a hot tub, cold plunge, a hammam bench (large, heated stone for relaxation), sauna and steam room in a central, social environment. It also features an outdoor relaxation area overlooking the West Bouldin Creek Greenbelt with views of downtown Austin.
Other highlights include a dynamic workout floor featuring free weights, Olympic lifting platforms and hundreds of pieces of cardio and resistance equipment; dedicated small group training spaces for Life Time’s signature Alpha, GTX and Ultra Fit formats, a LifeCafe with indoor/outdoor seating and elevated culinary offerings coming soon; boutique studios for yoga, Pilates, barre and signature formats and the Life Time Kids Academy for ages 3 months to 12 years.
“We’ve meticulously created every space within Life Time with an upscale yet hip and fun vibe, and luxury without pretense,” said Leon Fukushima, club leader of Life Time South Lamar. “Our goal is for people to not just come here to train, but to meet their current and future friends, business associates, or partners here. That sense of community is built into every design decision we’ve made.”
Life Time has appointed a dedicated in-house Chef Von Dyer to lead the club’s food and beverage experience. Following the opening period, the club will debut a Friday Night Fine Dining Tasting Menu complete with curated wine pairings.
