ECONOMY, DESIRE TO AVOID TRAVEL HASSLES MEAN STAYCATIONS ON THE RISE

As the nation continues to endure a challenging economy and the summer vacation
season kicks into high gear, individuals increasingly are seeking opportunities
that allow them to enjoy quality time with their family and friends, while
avoiding the expense and hassle associated with travel.

For some, the `staycation` simply involves relaxing at home. Others dedicate
time to visit local community events, pools, museums, recreational areas or
parks. And, a growing number of consumers are turning to their local health
club. That`s right. Their health club.

"Time away from work still has individuals craving the typical benefits of
vacation: time to relax and rejuvenate," said Jeff Zwiefel, Life Time Fitness
executive vice president and exercise physiologist. "Member usage at our centers
is on the rise. For some, it`s the desire to avoid the expense of a summer
vacation. For others, it`s a conscious effort to spend additional time focusing
on reducing stress, getting back into shape and taking charge of health and
wellness at a time when so many other things may seem to be out of control."

Indeed, with 84 unique sports and athletic, professional fitness, family
recreation and spa centers in a resort-like setting, Life Time Fitness (NYSE:
LTM) has created healthy lifestyle, recreation and entertainment destinations
designed to serve the needs of the entire family. Supported by a large team of
certified team members, programs and services, Life Time locations sport a wide
range of amenities under one roof and currently serve more than one million
members.

From a cool, relaxing day at the water park, to haircuts, dining, massage,
workouts, sports and recreation, child care, kids` camps and much more, Life
Time not only addresses those seeking a healthy and active way of life, but also
has become a fulfilling staycation option for consumers.

Guests can grab a healthy, all-natural or organic breakfast lunch or dinner at
Life Time`s LifeCafe or visit the LifeSpa & Salon for full range of hair, nail
and skin care services, and therapeutic massage.

A whopping 400 pieces of state-of-the-art cardiovascular and resistance training
equipment, plus free weights, along with a wide range of programs, activities,
leagues and entertainment for all ages and physical abilities is just the
beginning of the typical Life Time experience. Plus, multiple group exercise,
Pilates and yoga studios with free and fee-based programs, a unique cycle
theatre, team of certified personal trainers and programming, wide selection of
adult and youth programs and activities, two full-size basketball courts, and
dry saunas await those seeking to get in shape and de-stress. Indoor rock
climbing caverns, large indoor and outdoor aquatics centers, lap pools and
children`s interactive play areas, two whirlpools and an outdoor bistro add to
the uniqueness, recreation and entertainment value of Life Time`s large resorts.

Parents concerned with how to find the time to work out or to relax, while also
keeping up with their kids` schedules, have Life Time`s large, interactive child
centers, featuring play mazes, junior basketball courts, computer labs,
children`s activity areas, and a separate infant playroom at their disposal. For
the ultimate in convenience, dedicated family locker rooms also are available.

Addressing the budgeted-minded consumer, Life Time offers a range of club and
membership choices. Every membership type includes complimentary locker and
towel service, no long-term contracts, and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Member
benefits also include the `Big 16,` which offers 16 events each month dedicated
to a wide range of interest areas, and Member Advantage, which delivers
substantive discounts on dining, sports and travel, and much more simply by
being a Life Time member.

"Our company launched in 1992 with the goal of helping people change their lives
for the better," says Zwiefel. "As our centers have evolved over the years so
too has the incredible array of options and conveniences we offer, making it
easy for individuals, couples and families to do something that`s good for them
financially, mentally and physically. The fact that we have become a vacation
destination is a testament to the fact that we offer complete lifestyle centers,
not merely health clubs."
