Our Work
Life Time Fitness
Life Time, a national leader of high-end, fitness-based clubs, residences, and workspaces for high-performing individuals and families, needed an elite partner to self-perform custom installations of its proprietary casework and millwork. Life Time engaged Nationwide Fixture Installations to successfully complete nearly 50 projects across their fleet of US properties over the course of the past seven years.
Life Time, a wellness pioneer reshaping the way consumers approach their health by integrating where we move, work, and live, creates spaces specifically designed and crafted to appeal to all people on their path to healthier, happier lives. Life Time provides an entertaining, educational, friendly and inviting, functional and innovative experience of uncompromising quality that meets the health and fitness needs of the entire family. Life Time engaged Nationwide Fixture Installations to successfully complete nearly fifty projects across their fleet of US properties over the course of the past seven years. The scope of work for these projects included both remodels and new builds, plus a selection of specialty projects such as: a massage retreat, a pickleball complex, and a Corp 2 Building at the Life Time corporate campus (a combination of office space and resort-like athletic club). Life Time features their own construction division, which includes architecture, general contracting, and design. Life Time also boasts its own in-house millwork shop to produce all the casework and millwork to be installed. Thanks to our existing relationship with Life Time’s preconstruction and millwork teams, they engaged NFI to self-perform the custom installation services.
The engagement with Life Time kicked off in 2018, with a typical installation project lasting anywhere from three to twelve weeks, depending on the complexity and scope of work. NFI then developed purpose-built field teams with Life Time-specific knowledge to work directly with Life Time and other subcontractors, thereby mitigating risks in design gaps. NFI self-performed the installations of all locker room components, as well as café, bar, lounge, reception, kids academy, and fitness studio spaces. Each project faced unique challenges, from food service-grade cabinetry, to high humidity and water exposure, and child safety. Deliveries usually required second or third floor material distribution with a boom lift, adding to project complexity. The NFI teams collaborated well and showcased their flexibility when working with the other finish trades on site: tile, wall covering, flooring, painters, and audio-visual.
Life Time properties have evolved beyond just the typical fitness gyms; their properties could rightfully be considered athletic country clubs. Each Life Time property, with its respective high-end finishes and distinct design elements, provides a beautifully finished space for fitness, social connection, and leisure. NFI was, and continues to be, an integral partner for outstanding delivery of these spaces, and looks forward to the ongoing evolution of the Life Time brand.
