Sneak Peek: Life Time Athletic Reston

New health club will bring fitness, as well as luxury amenities, to Reston in September.

Executives from Life Time Fitness came to Reston on Wednesday for a preview of what their new facility, expected to open in mid-September, will feature.

The Reston location of the Minnesota-based company will be called Life Time Athletic Reston, and Life Time says it will be one of a select few "Diamond" level clubs nationwide.

Diamond is the premier of the five Life Time designations. Reston will be one because of its resort-like amenities such as a spa, indoor and outdoor pools and access to a wide range of services, says Jeff Zwiefel, Life Time executive vice president and chief of operations.

"Life Time Reston will be beautiful," he said. "But we all know it is not about the place. It is about creating a healthy way of life for people. Our focus in Reston is to attract people looking for the best place, not the customer looking for the best price."

To that end, memberships will not be inexpensive (prices vary, but expect to pay above $100 a month for a single membership).

The club is also expected to create more than 300 jobs here, Life Time says.

Zwiefel says that Reston - with health- and fitness-conscious people who can afford to spend - is an ideal spot for a diamond-level Life Time facility.
