“While it’s still very early in the process and we’re not at a stage to share detailed plans or timing, I can confirm that we see strong potential in the Jacksonville market and are currently exploring additional opportunities beyond our planned Seven Pines destination (set to open in 2027),” the spokesperson said.
The area’s first Life Time fitness center is permitted for construction at the master-planned Seven Pines development in Jacksonville. Life Time officials said that location will be a two-story, 85,000-square-foot “athletic country club” with a 50,000-square-foot outdoor beach club.
The city issued permits on Dec. 11, 2025, for that project, at a project cost of more than $30 million.
