A decent business — some strong pillars, some weaker.

Share count rising — dilution

+16.8% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 193.1M (2021) → 225.5M (2025)

Life Time Group Holdings operates a chain of large, upscale health and fitness clubs across the United States and Canada. Its clubs are much bigger than a typical gym — they include pools, basketball courts, spa services, group fitness classes, and restaurants. The company targets middle-to-upper-income adults and families who want an all-in-one wellness destination rather than a basic workout space.

Life Time makes most of its money through monthly membership fees, which provide recurring revenue. It also earns additional income from personal training, spa services, food and beverage sales, and athletic events. The company operates around 170 large-format clubs, primarily in major U.S. metro areas, and its sheer club size and premium amenities make it difficult for smaller competitors to replicate. However, Life Time carries a significant debt load from building and expanding these expensive facilities, and its growth depends heavily on attracting and retaining members who are willing to pay premium prices — a challenge if consumer spending weakens.

Cash watch

Life Time Group Holdings has less than a year of cash at its current burn rate. Growth investors should watch for potential share dilution from future fundraising — that directly reduces your ownership.

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
