CHANHASSEN, Minn., July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the nation's premier healthy lifestyle brand, today revealed the five grand prize winners in its inaugural 60XT Challenge, an eight-week body transformation program that inspired more than 25,000 people nationwide to commit to healthier habits.

From a Marine father overcoming injury, to a mom of four rediscovering her confidence, to a pastry chef finding her strength, these stories were among thousands highlighting incredible change resonating deeply across the Life Time community. Each grand prize winner receives $10,000 cash and a prize package valued at $15,000, including a four-night, all-inclusive stay at Breathless Resorts & Spa and premium wellness gear from brands like Garmin, Hyperice, and Normatec.

The 60XT Challenge is designed to help individuals reset and reprioritize their health through expert coaching, community support, and the accountability needed to inspire lasting changes. Participants submitted personal essays chronicling their journeys and finalists were selected by an expert committee. Life Time members then cast their votes in the complimentary Life Time app to determine the five grand prize winners.
