Life Time’s luxury athletic club, Life Time Penn 1, opened today in New York City’s Penn District. The street-level club occupies the redeveloped 2.5 million-square-foot Penn 1 office tower, includes seven pickleball courts, the most in the city, and offers Life Time’s signature Alpha, GTX and UltraFit group training programs.
The pickleball courts are available for reservations for open play, mixers, leagues, clinics, and tournaments, and the training space will offer more than 50 classes weekly by the city’s top coaches and personal trainers.
“Life Time continues to gain tremendous momentum across Manhattan and Brooklyn because of our incredible people, programs and places, including this new iconic destination at Penn 1,” said Parham Javaheri, chief property development officer and president of Club Operations. “The transformation of The Penn District has been exhilarating to watch under the expertise of Vornado Realty Trust and brings Life Time to a whole new level in New York. We’re proud to be the wellness anchor for this entire area.”
The club also has a functional training floor featuring cardio and strength training equipment and dedicated spaces for recovery, relaxation and stretching. Other amenities include dressing rooms with sauna showers, complimentary lockers and a juice bar with Life Time’s proprietary nutritional products. In total, the club covers a portion of three floors of the Penn Office Tower.
As part of the redeveloped 55-story building, which sits directly atop Penn Station and serves global office tenants, Life Time Penn 1 is accessible to daily commuters, visitors and locals.
“Life Time Penn 1 is a core piece of our vision for The Penn District as a vibrant and welcoming community powered by the highest-quality amenities and operators,” said Glen Weiss, executive vice president of office leasing and co-head of real estate at Vornado. “From health and wellness options to an array of dining selections and inspired social spaces, the Penn District offers residents, commuters and visitors endless ways to come together, day and night, and we’re thrilled Life Time Pickleball is a part of it.”
