Attention, greater Raleigh: Life Time\u2019s fourth athletic country club in the area (and fifth overall in the state) is arriving in early 2026. Life Time Alston Town Center<\/a> will join Life Time Raleigh<\/a>, Life Time Cary<\/a>, and Life Time Apex<\/a> in bringing a healthy way of life to the \u201cCity of Oaks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Accessible off Highway 55, the club will be located in the heart of Alston Town Center, nestled conveniently among retail, dining, and other amenities.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Raleigh area hasn\u2019t seen a Life Time grand opening since 2015, and the brand has evolved quite a bit since then,\u201d says Derek Baker, lead general for Life Time Alston Town Center who\u2019s been with Life Time since 2014. \u201cLife Time Alston Town Center will bring the latest and greatest of Life Time\u2019s amenities and offerings so members in the community can feel empowered to live healthier, happier lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s explore the 92,000-square-foot Life Time Alston Town Center space:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When you walk in, you\u2019ll see the LifeCafe and lounge space. Stop in for a nutritious meal or snack or grab a protein shake to go after your workout. Tip: Order through the Life Time app for an expedited experience. You can grab your favorite LTH supplements<\/a> here, too.<\/p>\n

The first floor is also home to the LifeSpa \u2014 a full-service salon and spa offering body, skin, hair, and nail treatments.<\/p>\n

For members who need to work while on the go, you can set up your laptop or take calls in the Life Time Work Lounge, a free, open-plan, community-style coworking area. (Learn more: \u201cWhat Is the Life Time Work Club Lounge?<\/a>\u201d)<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a member at Life Time Alston Town Center, you can do everything in one stop,\u201d says Baker. \u201cYou can have your coffee and breakfast in the morning at LifeCafe, get your workout in, and then settle down to work in our lounge \u2014 with a whole lot of options for additional activities if time allows.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You\u2019ll also be able to access the luxurious men\u2019s and women\u2019s locker rooms on the first floor, both featuring a full hydrotherapy suite experience with a sauna, steam room, whirlpool, and cold plunge. Here, you can feel pampered in spaces dedicated to your recovery and relaxation.<\/p>\n

You can also swim laps or do a water workout<\/a> in the indoor lap and lesson pool.<\/p>\n

Parents can leave their kids \u2014 ages 3 months to 11 years \u2014 at the Kids Academy<\/a> while they make use of other areas in the club. The Kids Academy features a movement studio, an activity studio, an art and language studio, two kids\u2019 gyms, a toddler area, and an infant area. Kids can learn, play, and grow with engaging and enriching age-specific programming and classes. With a Junior Membership, parents can use up to 2.5 hours of child care per day.<\/p>\n

Another unique perk of a Junior Membership<\/a> is unlimited monthly kids and tweens events. Parents can enjoy an evening on their own \u2014 at the club or elsewhere \u2014 with regular Parents Night Out<\/a> and Tween Takeover events, which always feature fun themes.<\/p>\n

Families can also enroll in School-Break Camps<\/a> for those days when school is out and the kids need something to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a parent, you want to know your kids are being taken care of while participating in activities that strengthen their minds and their bodies \u2014 that\u2019s the Kids Academy philosophy,\u201d says Baker. \u201cWe have phenomenal team members who care about creating enriching experiences for kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
