For many of us, home is our place for rest, recovery, and relaxation. We want it to be laid out and set up just how we want it, from the furniture to the décor to the lighting. But what if your home could provide even more— and even serve as a tool that supports your healthy lifestyle?

Life Time has begun creating high-end residences with all aspects of health in mind. There are currently two Living locations open, one in Coral Gables, Fla., and one in Henderson, Nev., with additional locations coming soon. Life Time Living Green Valley has a total of 149 apartment homes available to rent.

“From the moment you start your day to the time you close your eyes at night, you can live a fulfilling, healthy way of life here,” says Mary Zedella, resident concierge leader at Life Time Living Green Valley. “Rise each morning with a fresh cup of coffee on the private amenity deck. Bask in the sun poolside or cool off in a cabana. Take your conference call in our work lounge. Get in your workout at our athletic resort. Pick up dinner from LifeCafe and host your family in the private dining room. The amenities and options here are unmatched.”

Conveniently located next to The District at Green Valley Ranch and just outside of Las Vegas, Life Time Living Green Valley is situated just minutes from shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and more. As the tallest building in the area, it will offer spectacular views of the valley, the Las Vegas strip, and the Spring Mountains and McCullough Range mountains.

Here’s a preview of what you can expect at Life Time Living Green Valley.

The kitchen is your blank slate for whipping up a nutritious salad, crafting a charcuterie board, meal prepping for the week, or hosting happy hour. “Communities gather around food — and hosting those social interactions in a beautiful kitchen makes them all the more enjoyable,” says Zedella.

The light wood finishes and neutral-colored back splash and granite countertops promote an open, clean feeling (the latter are also natural and nonreactive). The kitchen features stainless-steel appliances and a state-of-the-art water filtration system, too.

In need of mealtime inspiration? As a resident and Life Time member you get access to the Health Source through the Life Time Digital app, where you can find healthy recipes to try, as well as education around the best foods to eat to fuel your body. And whenever you don’t feel like cooking, you can order food from the LifeCafe for pick up or delivery.

Life Time Living apartment homes at Green Valley are available with one or two bedrooms, where you can enjoy a full night’s rest with soundproof walls and blackout shades to block the sun. Every bedroom also contains a full-sized washer and dryer conveniently located inside the walk-in closet.

Experience connected living by taking advantage of the technological features in your home. You can adjust the temperature from an app on your smart phone, so if you’re at the club and want your home to be cooled when you get back, you can turn on the air while you finish your last set of reps. You can also browse fitness class schedules on your smart TV and stream classes right from your living room.

You never know where you’ll meet new friends. Taking a FLOW yoga or Upper RX class may spark a new friendship with a fellow participant.

Or you may meet someone while mingling by the Poolside Bar and Bistro, which is dedicated to individuals above the age of 21. You can also take part in the social events hosted on the pool deck, ranging from happy hours with live music to nighttime swim experiences.

Want to throw a party of your own? Life Time Living features a catering kitchen, private dining room, and social space with walk out entries to the 8,000-plus-square-foot amenity deck. You can also bring your guests poolside and rest under the cabanas, near the fire pits, or at the indoor/outdoor bar.

The amenities here are plentiful. Start your day with a jolt from the complimentary coffee bar, use the business lounge for focused work time, and embrace the open, walk-up bar and private dining room available for you to enjoy or entertain guests.

When the sun is shining (or whenever you could simply use a break), hop in the elevated pool and take in the view, or relax on the terrace.

You can also take your furry friend to the on-premises bark park, unwind in the media and entertainment space, and feel good about security measures including locked lockers for packages and a protected underground parking unit.

The Residents Concierge Team is stationed full-time in the lobby and serves as an onsite concierge. This team can assist in helping residents reserve a bike for or spot in a cycle class, deliver meals from the LifeCafe to their door, book an appointment at the LifeSpa, or arrange for weights to be brought to a resident’s home for an at-home workout setup.

Perhaps the greatest perk of being a Life Time Living resident is that it includes a membership to the Life Time athletic country club — only 100 yards away from the Living complex! — and all the equipment, classes, and amenities it offers.

“If you live here, it is truly a fully integrated experience from the club to your home,” says Zedella. “Our team can have equipment delivered to your unit to use while you stream your favorite studio class. We can have a nutritionist come into your kitchen to clean out and restock food items based on your goals. You can even set up to receive a knock on your door before your morning training session for extra accountability.”

Whether relaxing in your home, swimming in the pool, sweating in the club, grabbing a bite at the LifeCafe, unwinding with a massage at the LifeSpa, or exploring the community, Life Time Living Green Valley was built with your well-being at the forefront.

Optimal health requires a solid foundation of habits in three primary categories: nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle — the latter of which includes factors like sleep, stress management, social connections, environment, and more. While we can all do our best to consistently make good choices in these areas, what many often don’t realize is how big of a role our living environment plays in our health: It can either set us up for success or present additional barriers.

That’s why many health professionals encourage strategies like keeping tempting foods out of our home or joining a weekly training group. There’s something about minimizing obstacles and being surrounded by likeminded individuals that makes it so much easier to stay on track.

We’ve seen real-life examples of this: People who live in environments set up to better support health often tend to be healthier themselves. That’s why when Life Time came up with the concept for its Life Time Living properties, it has been said that they saw it as an opportunity to design and structure them with built-in reinforcements and motivation — so that healthy living could be as convenient as possible.

Life Time Living is Life Time’s recent endeavor to support members’ healthy way of life ambitions; its first iteration — with nearly 500 apartment homes — opened in Coral Gables, Fla., in 2021. In 2022, its second location opened in Henderson, Nev., with 149 apartment homes. Both built alongside a Life Time athletic country club, it’s a first-of-its-kind comprehensive experience that takes all the factors of health into consideration.

Here are some of the key nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle habits we know make a difference for nearly everyone, as well as the unique ways Life Time Living can make those endeavors easier and more enjoyable.

Nutrition

• Eat foods that nourish your body, prioritizing fresh, whole foods and high-quality protein, healthy fats, and fiber from lots of veggies at nearly every meal.
• Use quality supplements, such as a multivitamin, fish oil, and vitamin D, to further support your body’s nutritional needs.
• Stay hydrated, aiming to consume half your body weight in ounces of water daily — and more if you’re active.

How our spaces help:

• Set yourself up for success by meal prepping in a well-equipped kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and non-reactive granite countertops that won’t off-gas chemicals into your food. Check out these meal-prep ideas.
• Take the guesswork out of meal planning by exploring the hundreds of healthy recipes available to you here at ExperienceLife.Lifetime.Life. This recipe library features meal ideas from our print magazine, LifeCafe, Training programs, and more.
• Eat onsite at the LifeCafe or preorder on the Life Time Digital app to take food to go on days when you don’t feel like cooking. The menu is comprised of dietitian-approved shakes, snacks, salads, and meals.

Fitness

• Move your body in one way or another every single day. Include structured workouts and exercise that challenge you, as well as leisurely movements and activities that are simply for fun.
• Balance your cardio and weight-training efforts. Ideally, aim to strength train three to four times per week.
• Prioritize active recovery — think a walk outside, yoga class, or massage.

How our spaces help:

• Enjoy a complimentary membership to our Life Time athletic club as part of your apartment-home lease. Included in your membership is access to best-in-class cardio and strength machines and other fitness equipment, nearly 100 weekly group fitness classes, and spaces for recreation such as our pools.
• Maintain your fitness from the comfort of home or on-the-go with access to our virtual app which includes on-demand classes, virtual training programs, and more.
• Push your efforts with personal or small-group training programs or Pilates classes (available for an additional cost).

Lifestyle

• Aim to get seven to eight hours of sleep each night, doing your best to stick to a relatively consistent sleep-wake schedule.
• Care for yourself mentally, using techniques that work for you to actively manage your stressors.
• Make time to connect with others socially and prioritize the meaningful relationships in your life.

How our spaces help:

• Enjoy more restful sleep with state-of-the-art soundproofing and black-out shades in the bedrooms.
• Relax and recharge at the LifeSpa with a massage or facial, or freshen up your look with a haircut or color.
• Get to know other residents in the community at the resort-style outdoor pool, in group fitness classes, at special events, or by participating in our run and cycle clubs.

Two of these first-of-their-kind communities are now open: Our Coral Gables, Fla. location and our Henderson, Nev. location. More locations are soon to follow. Visit living.lifetime.life to learn more.

For many of us, our homes are our sanctuaries — a reflection of our values, a safe space to relax and unwind. It’s where we get to take care of ourselves and be ourselves.

Not all homes, however, are built from the ground up with our health and well-being in mind. Life Time Living is. This new endeavor by Life Time is focused on integrated wellness, and residents of these new multi-use complexes will be the first to experience the benefits of living in homes and communities where every aspect of their well-being is considered from the moment they wake up to the moment they go to sleep.

“This is not just about having a place to live — it’s about finding a place to thrive,” says Sarah Kohler, director of multi-family operations for Life Time. “Everything you need is here. It’s a refuge from all the craziness in the world.”

Kohler explains that Life Time Living — which will open its first development with nearly 500 apartment homes in Coral Gables, Fla., in early 2021 — is part of the interconnected Life Time experience. This includes exclusive membership to Life Time Athletic, as well as Life Time Work, the healthy-way-of-life brand’s shared workspace concept that launched in late 2018.

And just as every detail of Life Time athletic resorts have been deliberately considered, so too have the apartment homes. Here’s a closer look at what Life Time Living is all about.

Life Time Living locations are chosen and designed with convenience and safety as top priorities. “Walkability, bike-ability, and accessibility to both vibrant neighborhoods and nature are factors we consider that enhance our residents’ lifestyles,” says Kohler.

In Coral Gables, for instance, you’re close to the beaches, as well as mangroves, offering countless opportunities for spending time and doing activities outdoors.

All of the places where we spend most of our time come together at Life Time Coral Gables. In addition to our homes and work spaces, Life Time health clubs are often referred to by members as “their second home.”

Residents can take advantage of the proximity with help from the Residents Service Team, who can help schedule workouts (at the club or from the comfort of home), book a group fitness class or LifeSpa appointment, or reserve use of the quiet wellness sanctuaries throughout development.

In the apartment homes, the kitchen is the center of the experience. “The kitchen is the heart of the home — a place to come together, to cook your meals, to entertain,” says Kohler. Features include natural, nonreactive granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances, as well as a state-of-the-art water filtration system, all in an ergonomic, functional floorplan.

Need help keeping your kitchen stocked? The Life Time Living residents’ app makes it easy to order pre-made meals from the LifeCafe that you can have on hand — or you can work directly with a Life Time nutritionist to create a meal plan that supports your healthy-eating goals.

For those days when you don’t have time to cook, you can order nutritious breakfast, lunch, or dinner options to be delivered from the LifeCafe, or pop down to the grocery store that’s conveniently located next door.

Wood plank flooring is a feature throughout every home, which helps limit exposure to dirt and allergens that often get trapped in carpets. Each home also has soundproofing and insulation to help to soften sounds in each room.

The main living area opens to a large, ample terrace where you can enjoy meals, take in the sunsets, or relax with a good book, while generous, oversized windows bring plenty of natural light into every area of the home.

Additionally, smart thermostats give each resident full control over their environment — including its own furnace and air conditioner. “Life Time is committed to sustainability, and allowing residents to manage their heating, cooling, and air filtration systems based on their individual needs can help reduce our footprint on the earth,” Kohler notes.

Life Time Living apartment homes are available with one to three bedrooms — all of which are designed to support your circadian rhythms. “Each sleep chamber has additional soundproofing, along with blackout shades and wake-up lights that dim in the evening and brighten in the morning, respectively,” says Kohler.

A member of the Resident Service Team is available 24/7 to help with anything residents might need, whether it’s maintenance in their home or scheduling a personal-training session with a coach. The app makes it easy to stay connected to them, as well as to  pay for services, manage your smart thermostat, and more.

Throughout Life Time Living, Work, and Athletic, there are dedicated places for you to relax and connect, including sanctuary spaces for restoration, meditation, and quiet, and communal spaces for small-group gatherings.

In all of our spaces, your health and safety are always top of mind for us, and cleanliness is a priority. As we continue to navigate through the pandemic, the teams at all of our properties are following safety and social-distancing protocols in accordance with governmental orders and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines.

Your and your family’s well-being, no matter the circumstances, comes first.
