Life Time’s 33rd athletic country club in Texas is arriving in summer 2025: Life Time South Lamar.
Situated just south of downtown Austin on South Lamar Boulevard, this will be the fifth club located in Texas’ capital city, and it’s designed to be a retreat in the middle of the hustle and bustle of this rapidly growing neighborhood. The club is housed on the middle two floors of The Bouldin, a brand-new, four-floor, state-of-the-art luxury building with an underground parking ramp that’s complimentary for members.
“My vision of the club’s culture is an upscale yet hip and fun vibe — luxury without the pretense,” says Leon Fukushima, lead general of Life Time South Lamar. “We want to create not only a fitness experience but a social one as well. My hope is to foster a community — I want members to meet their future friends, spouses, or business partners here.”
Let’s explore the 57,000-square-foot Life Time South Lamar space:
Take the elevator up to the club’s first level to visit the LifeCafe lounge and restaurant space. The LifeCafe is introducing its culinary menu to the Austin community, offering expansive options for shakes, breakfast, wraps, bowls, and more.
Once you place your order, take a seat and relax in the lounge, which is perfect for conversing with friends and family or working remotely.
Life Time South Lamar features a Kids Academy for children ages nine months to 12 years. Kids can stay busy learning, playing, and growing with the engaging and enriching age-specific programming and classes. Parents can use up to two hours of child care per day included with a Junior Membership.
Find your favorite ways to move with Life Time’s array of group fitness classes. There are five designated studios: one each for Pilates, barre, and yoga, and two for other unique-to-Life-Time formats. Classes are taught by top performers with options for people of all fitness levels and interests. Members can easily reserve their spot in class through the Life Time app.
Members can also enjoy the luxurious coed wet suite equipped with a steam room, sauna, cold plunge, and whirlpool. They can take in city views from the balcony that overlooks downtown Austin and the lush Barton Creek Greenbelt.
“The wet suite is a special and unique feature,” says Tomas Kobersky, area director for Life Time in central Texas and Houston. “Many of our clubs have these amenities inside the locker rooms, but here, we’ll have it in a shared space. This is the coolest part of the club, for sure.”
Head upstairs to the club’s expansive workout floor, equipped with free weights, cardio- and resistance-training machines, and designated stretching areas. There are also dedicated spaces for GTX, Alpha, and Ultra Fit signature group training classes.
The workout floor also includes a separate line of Olympic lifting platforms. “The workout floor is going to be as good as it gets from a floor design perspective,” shares Kobersky.
If members are ready to take their routines to the next level, they can work with one of the Dynamic Personal Trainers available to guide and support them toward their fitness goals; Dynamic Stretch Specialists can also provide assisted stretch sessions to aid in recovery efforts (both at an additional cost).
One unique design feature is the club’s dimmable windows, which allow for adjusting the lighting in any section of the club. “It’s as if every individual window has a blackout curtain,” says Kobersky. “The benefit will help create the best sensory experience in every studio class.”
Although Life Time South Lamar is only a little over a mile from Life Time Austin – Downtown, this new club is truly catered toward the neighborhood, according to Kobersky.
“We believe this club is built with Austin in mind — active, energized, and all about community,” he says. “This club feels like an extension of the city’s active life. It’s a place where locals can train hard, recover in a beautiful wet suite, and connect with others at top-notch events — and at the full bar.”
