Planning workouts isn\u2019t for everyone: Perhaps you\u2019re too busy, uncertain of how to get the results you\u2019re after, or are simply uninterested in spending time mapping out sets, reps, and rest.

All you have to do is either show up at the club or open your Life Time app<\/a>.<\/p>\n At Life Time, you\u2019ll find several signature group training program options that pair the effectiveness of a science-backed plan with the motivation that arises from a group setting under the direction of a coach.<\/p>\n The options \u2014 GTX, Alpha, Ultra Fit, and MB360 \u2014 offer something for all interests and goals.
