HERRIMAN, Utah — Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the nation’s premier healthy lifestyle brand, officially broke ground on a new destination Wednesday in the heart of one of Utah’s fastest growing communities.
Herriman Mayor Lorin Palmer and city councilmembers joined Life Time and Jacobsen Construction leaders in the ceremonial turning of the dirt at 4684 West 12600 South, where the 103,000-square-foot athletic country club will offer high-end lifestyle, health and wellness amenities when completed in Fall 2027.
“Residents in Herriman value access to recreation, wellness and fitness opportunities as part of the community’s quality of life, and the addition of Life Time is expected to expand those options in a meaningful way,” Mayor Palmer said. “This project represents another amenity for residents and reflects the continued growth of services and opportunities available in Herriman.”
Life Time owns and operates more than 190 athletic country clubs across the United States and Canada. The new Life Time in Herriman will be its second location in Utah (the first being in South Jordan, which opened in 2006). Across two levels, Life Time members at the Herriman location will have access to a spacious fitness floor for strength training and cardio; designated studio spaces for yoga, Pilates, strength and barre classes; four pickleball courts; rejuvenation suites with hot tubs, cold plunge, sauna and steam rooms; LifeSpa with hair, massage, skin and nail services; two indoor pools; an outdoor pool; a LifeCafe fast casual restaurant serving healthy meals, shakes and snacks; and more. Life Time’s Kids Academy will serve children from 3 months to 12 years old.
“We’re thrilled to deepen our roots in Utah with our planned athletic country club in Herriman,” said Laura Messerli, Vice President of Club Operations for Life Time. “This new destination reflects our ongoing commitment to expanding our presence in the Salt Lake City area and welcoming more people to experience the signature spaces and programs that define Life Time. Much like what we’ve seen in South Jordan over the past two decades, we believe members will experience the Herriman club as a true game changer for their health and wellness.”
Utah is consistently recognized as one of the most physically active states in the country, ranking fifth in exercise frequency in the latest America’s Health Rankings report. That strong commitment to healthy living makes Utah a natural place for Life Time to continue growing its presence, Messerli added.
“Our wellness mission closely aligns with the comprehensive, active lifestyles so many Utahns value,” she said. “That alignment is a big reason this new location is so exciting, and we expect to see strong community interest well ahead of opening day.”
Construction of the new Life Time athletic club in Herriman will emphasize high-end finishes that denote a level of luxury and comfort compatible with member expectations, durable spaces that can accommodate high-energy activity, and customizable instruction areas. That’s according to Gary Ellis, president and CEO of Jacobsen Construction, the Salt Lake City-based general contractor leading the project in collaboration with VCBO Architecture.
“It’s clear that Life Time knows how to radically elevate their members’ fitness, recreation and wellness routines in ways that few others in their industry have imagined,” Ellis said. “With that in mind, our project team onsite knows their responsibility is to hold themselves to a higher standard as well, with a level of craftsmanship that is built to last and which brings the club’s luxury aesthetic into sharp focus during its everyday use. Our people are ready for the challenge.”
Completion of Life Time’s impressive new club in Herriman is scheduled for later in 2027. Those interested in joining the Life Time waitlist, can do so by visiting https://www.lifetime.life/locations/ut/herriman.
