Life Time has been recognized by Fast Company as one of the World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2025, ranking among just 50 businesses worldwide and securing the top spot in the Wellness and Personal Care category. The distinction highlights Life Time’s expansion into longevity-focused health services, its investment in performance-based wellness, and its growing presence in racquet sports.
Fast Company’s annual list spotlights businesses that, according to its editorial team, are shaping industries and introducing new approaches to longstanding challenges. Along with the 50 companies on the global list, the publication recognized 609 organizations across 58 sectors and regions.

Life Time was recognized for its expansion of MIORA clinics, which offer personalized metabolic assessments, fitness programming, and recovery services. The company has also incorporated GLP-1 medications as part of its health optimization offerings.
In addition to longevity-focused initiatives, Life Time has increased its investment in pickleball, hiring professional players, expanding facilities, and launching a Racquet Sports Board co-chaired by tennis champion Andre Agassi.
Fast Company selects its honorees through an internal evaluation of companies it believes are “driving progress around the world and across industries.” The publication's editor-in-chief, Brendan Vaughan, said the 2025 honorees reflect key trends in business and technology.
"Our list of the Most Innovative Companies offers both a comprehensive look at innovation today and a playbook for the future," Vaughan said.
