Life Time Academy’s Mission

Life Time Academy strives to deliver an innovative, science-based curriculum that emphasizes hands-on, real-life training, in a premier fitness setting, and that creates certified professionals who realize immediate success in their career.

You Have What it Takes
  • You’re committed and passionate. You have a drive and a love of fitness fuels your desire to see others reach their fitness goals. Staying engaged and remaining consistent and enthusiastic will energize your clients and keep them – and you – motivated.
  • You’re approachable and sincere. A career in the fitness industry requires close interaction with others. Building strong relationships with your clients boosts your personal brand and helps your clients see results.
Put your Certification to Work

With a fitness certification, you can work in a variety of settings depending on your area of focus and your personal schedule and abilities. Our graduates have found careers in large national gyms, smaller boutique studios, self-employment, and beyond.

Placement Services to Set You on Your Path to Success

Opportunities with Life Time
We guarantee each of our graduates an interview with Life Time, if Life Time is a desired potential employer. Graduates need to apply for a position before being offered an interview.
