Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the healthy lifestyle brand, has opened its newest athletic country club, Life Time Otay Ranch, marking the company’s second location in San Diego County and the first to be built from the ground up. Located at 1650 Main Street West in Chula Vista’s growing Cota Vera community, the more than 135,000 square-foot, two-level club and outdoor space adds to the company’s growing portfolio of clubs in the state, now nine with additional locations planned.

Life Time Otay Ranch introduces an elevated health and wellness experience to the South Bay region, designed to support a healthy way of life for all ages, brought to life by nearly 200 team members.

“Chula Vista is experiencing remarkable residential growth, especially in Otay Ranch, and we are excited to support the community with this new Life Time destination,” said Parham Javahri, Life Time Executive Vice President, President of Club Operations and Chief of Property Development in a statement. “Cities aren’t built simply by adding homes, they’re built by creating environments where families can live healthier, more connected lives. The City of Chula Vista and HomeFed have been outstanding partners in this vision, and the enthusiasm we’re seeing from local residents and families has been truly overwhelming.”

Life Time Otay Ranch features an expansive lineup of amenities and programs across fitness, aquatics, pickleball, recovery, dining and family services. Highlights include:

  • A 26,000-square-foot workout floor with hundreds of pieces of best-in-class cardio equipment, resistance-training machines and free weights for individual and one-on-one dynamic personal training.
