Get ready, Boston: Life Time Prudential Center is coming your way in fall 2025. With a prime location in the iconic Prudential Center complex — and less than a mile from the finish line of the Boston Marathon — this 60,000-square-foot athletic country club will be a hub for healthy living in the Back Bay neighborhood.
“Life Time Prudential Center is our seventh club in the Massachusetts market, and it’s positioned to be one of the most exciting — it’s going to be the heartbeat of the city,” says Kyle Hollander, lead general for Life Time Prudential Center. “The club will integrate performance, recovery, and community within a single environment, empowering members to achieve their goals while engaging with a network of like-minded individuals.”
Let’s explore the 60,000-square-foot Life Time space in the Prudential Center complex:
Upon entering the mall, members will take the escalator up to the first level to enter Life Time Prudential Center, where they will be greeted by the concierge staff at the front desk. As they walk farther in, members will see the GTX space to the left, segmented off by glass paneling. GTX is one of the four signature group training formats at Life Time that features a 50/50 blend of cardio and strength.
There is also a lounge/bar space to the right that overlooks downtown Boston. Here, members can connect and relax. “This is where the community will really come to life,” adds Hollander. “Life Time Prudential Center will offer regular happy hours and curated social events throughout the week at the on-site bar.”
As members continue through the entry corridor, they’ll see the Life Time Work Club Lounge, where professional ambition intersects with the community. The lounge will feature individual cubicles, soundproof booths, and communal areas. “The Life Time Prudential work lounge will allow members to take their work to the club and leverage the space as a home office away from home,” says Hollander.
Next stop is the LifeCafe for shakes, coffee, and quick, healthy meals that are ideal for those who are always on the go. Tip: Order through the Life Time app for an expedited experience. You can grab your favorite LTH supplements here, too.
Continuing through the first level, members will see the expansive workout floor that features brand-new equipment for all fitness needs, including free weights, cardio- and resistance-training machines, and functional training equipment. “The workout floor is equipped to accommodate anyone — from a beginner to a seasoned athlete — who is seeking to improve their fitness in any capacity,” says Hollander.
For those looking for some assistance with their fitness goals, Dynamic Personal Trainers are available to guide and support members. Life Time’s Dynamic Stretch specialists can also provide assisted-stretch sessions to aid in members’ recovery efforts (both at an additional cost).
Heading downstairs, members will step into a new era of health and vitality in the club’s rejuvenation treatment space — it’s where science meets serenity. Designed to be at the forefront of integrative wellness, this space features groundbreaking therapies such as red light and infrared treatments that promote cellular regeneration, pain relief, and enhanced recovery.
“Whether you’re an athlete pushing your limits or someone who is simply seeking balance, Life Time Prudential Center is redefining what it means to care for your body, mind, and spirit,” says Hollander.
The luxurious men’s and women’s locker rooms are also located on this level. “These thoughtfully designed state-of-the-art spaces will be meticulously maintained and elegantly appointed. They offer members a calm, private environment to unwind after a workout, refresh throughout the day, or prepare for any occasion with ease and comfort.” says Hollander.
Members can also revive in the coed hydrotherapy suite, which includes a cold plunge, whirlpool, steam room, and cedar sauna.
Discover your favorite group fitness class by trying a variety of different formats. There are five dedicated studios, including one each for Pilates, Barre, and Yoga, one for Alpha (signature group training centered around Olympic weightlifting and metabolic conditioning), and one for other unique-to-Life Time group fitness formats. These studios will feature advanced visual and audio experiences, Hollander notes.
“Life Time Prudential Center will be a one-stop shop,” he adds. “For example, after starting the day with a morning workout, members can return during lunch for a quick, nourishing meal from the LifeCafe or unwind for a few moments in the sauna. In the evening, the vibrant on-site bar offers an inviting setting to connect with friends over happy hour.
“The Prudential Center is already such a unique ecosystem with a diverse variety of retail, bars, restaurants, and businesses. Now with Life Time integrated into this iconic Boston landmark, the area will be a self-sustaining terrarium for healthy living.”
Note: For convenient parking, 3,000 validated parking spots will be available for Life Time members on site at the Prudential Center.
