Life Time: 25 Years into 100 Years of Becoming the Disney of a Healthy Way of Life

SINCE ITS INCEPTION, LIFE TIME HAS USHERED IN A NEW REVOLUTION IN THE HEALTH AND WELLNESS INDUSTRY.

Founded in 1992 by Bahram Akradi, who still leads the company as Chief Executive Officer, Life Time has consistently operated from a Member Point of View. The concept flipped the industry on its head in the 90s by offering memberships that didn’t require long-term contracts—a practice that, at the time, was simply unheard of—and allowed members to freely choose when or if they needed to cancel. Akradi’s belief is that if you offer an unbeatable experience that meets each member’s needs, there’s no need for a contract.

Taking this a step further, the company worked to launch “Companies Inside” in the early 2000s—specific programs catered to numerous passions that members have including: group fitness, yoga, personal training, Pilates, Weight Loss, basketball, swimming, kids, etc. This focus on programming allowed Life Time to differentiate itself from others in the category, providing expertise across multiple different categories.

Through the years, Life Time has continued to evolve, growing into a multi-billion dollar healthy lifestyle company, dropping “fitness” from its company name in 2017 to reflect this ongoing innovation, offering athletic lifestyle resorts, co-working, living spaces and programming. What started with a handful of clubs in the Twin Cities in the 1990s has transformed into a company with reach across North America with 143 destinations in 39 major markets, including Toronto, Canada.

Life Time currently has 85-100 projects in motion across the country from athletic lifestyle resorts to new ventures with Life Time Work, a premium cowork offering, and Life Time Living, luxury apartment developments.

Working with large real estate developers, Life Time is transforming the consumer retail experience at regional shopping centers across the nation with Healthy Way of Life Villages that will incorporate Life Time athletic resorts, and in some cases Life Time Living residential apartments and Life Time Work coworking spaces.

A prime example of these elements coming together is the Life Time Southdale project. Slated for completion late this year, Life Time Southdale aims to be the ultimate social, athletic and work destination, offering boutique programs and a resort-like experience, including a rooftop beach club, and dedicated Life Time Work space. The surrounding bustling residential real estate will complement the club and transformation taking place in the area.

Thanks Rachelle

TODD RYMERJOB TITLE: Senior Development Manager AREA OF FOCUS: Real Estate Development YEAR JOINED MSCA: 2018

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB IN THIS INDUSTRY AND FOR HOW LONG?I had joined Gander Mountain in their catalog marketing department and was asked to leave that to help start Gander Mountain Retail. In total I spent 15 years opening Gander stores across the country.

WHAT KEEPS YOU IN THE BUSINESS? Well, it is a combination of things that keep me in the business. First, I love doing what I’m doing. Seeing new projects come to life is another draw. Certainly there is a “people” part of the equation as well.

WHAT THINGS DO YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS JOB, AND WHAT ARE THE DEAL KILLERS FOR YOU? Surround yourself with people you trust and be a good listener. The only real deal killer I have is that I’m not a fan of dishonesty. Traveling in South Dakota in winter isn’t much fun either.

WHAT IS THE MOST UNIQUE PROJECT/LEASE/PROPERTY THAT YOU EVER WORKED ON IN YOUR CAREER? Oh goodness, I’ve had some doozies. What I will say is that just when you think you’ve seen it all, something new happens and you add it to the pile of experiences.

IF YOU ARE A SEASONED VETERAN, WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO THOSE NEW IN THE INDUSTRY? Quit while there’s still time. Either that or hang in there… it really is a wonderful industry where you can find success and meet some interesting people along the way.

WHAT IS ONE INTERESTING FACT THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU? I kind of, sort of, like to fish a wee bit. Ok, I have a fishing problem. There, it’s out there.

HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS? With bacon. Z

WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO / PERSONAL MANTRA? I’m borrowing one from a former supervisor who had a sign in his office that said “Flex With A Positive Attitude.” You can get a lot of mileage out of that.

WHAT HOBBY OUTSIDE OF WORK ARE YOU REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT AND WHY? Call me. Let’s go chase crappies or muskies for a day and then we’ll revisit this question.

Thanks Todd

RACHELLE MARTINIJOB TITLE: Director of Business Development and Client Relations AREA OF FOCUS: Business DevelopmentYEAR JOINED MSCA: 2019

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB IN THIS INDUSTRY AND FOR HOW LONG?Well…define “Industry”. If we are technically going back to retail – I started with Fleming companies which was the owner/distributor of Rainbow Foods. I grew into the position of Floral and Gift District Manager. At their peak, I managed the floral and gift operations (including purchasing) for 44 stores. In their growth stage, I also designed 12 of the new departments and assisted in the remodeling of 16 departments). I worked there for 10 years. If you are looking for the type of industry that I am in now: My first job in property and restoration management was with a multi-franchise SERVPRO for 2 years.

WHAT KEEPS YOU IN THE BUSINESS? No two days are the same, so I am NEVER bored. I appreciate a challenge and genuinely enjoy helping people find solutions for their business. I am a very social creature and curious by nature, so this career allows me the opportunity to get to know people and understand their needs and motivations.

WHAT THINGS DO YOU NEED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS JOB, AND WHAT ARE THE DEAL KILLERS FOR YOU? I need an experienced, intelligent, hard-working, support team (Our team of Engineers, Architects, Construction Specialists, Consultants, Safety Coordinators, Project Managers and Office Coordinators). If my team isn’t successful, than I can’t be. Deal killer – unethical behavior and people that “give up”. I can handle almost anything, but I need to work with people that have solid ethics and that are willing to go the extra mile, to find a solution to the problem. IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERTED ISLAND, WHAT THREE THINGS WOULD YOU HAVE AND WHY? 1) Bodhi – My German Shepherd – protection, blanket and co-hunter – trust me this is a good choice. 2) Fresh Water 3) Knife WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO / PERSONAL MANTRA? Everything you want is

on the other side of fear.

IF YOU COULD HAVE ONE SUPERPOWER, WHAT WOULD IT BE AND WHY?? To heal people from anything (of course, I would need to fly in order to do this.) J

REAL ESTATE – MINNESOTA, LLC

RISINGSTAR Dry Bar

ORIGINALLY FOUNDED in 2010 with their first location in Brentwood, CA, the Drybar concept was up and off the ground, and within two short years they had a list of investors backing their business plan. Today they have over 100 stores and their very own line of branded products in retail shops like Sephora, JCP Sephora and Nordstrom; Drybar has made quite the name for themselves. They recently made their way into the Minnesota retail market, debuting at The Promenade of Wayzata and I had the opportunity to talk with Minnesota’s exclusive franchise owners, Anna Chalmers and Jill Schad about their love of Drybar and what drew them to the business.

WHAT IS DRYBAR... WHAT MAKES DRYBAR DIFFERENT FROM OTHER BLOW OUT SALONS — WHY AND HOW WE DO IT — WHERE DID THE DRYBAR NAME COME FROM [FOUNDER ASPECT]?Drybar is based on the simple concept of focusing on one thing and being the best at it. For Drybar, that’s blowouts. The idea was a natural one for curly haired founder Alli Webb, a longtime professional stylist, who constantly found herself overpaying for blowouts at traditional salons. What makes Drybar different is that it’s not blowouts that we’re selling; it’s confidence and happiness. We wanted the shops to feel like a fun and beautiful bar where clients are able to enjoy chick flicks and relax while Drybar-trained stylists work their magic. The experience coupled with the fact that it’s a blowdry bar, created the Drybar.

JILL & ANNA’S INTERVIEW QUESTIONSWHY DID YOU DECIDE TO OPEN A DRYBAR FRANCHISE IN MINNESOTA?Anna: Jill and I had both lived in NYC for many years and were huge fans of Drybar. My background is in Digital Advertising, Marketing & Strategy, working for companies like Yahoo! and AOL. I’m a bit of a novice with my own hair so I quickly became a client of Drybar and loved the experience I received regardless of what location I visited. I also really appreciated the set styles that Drybar offered as it made it easy to decide how I wanted my hair to look per appointment.

Jill’s background is in the beauty and cosmetic industry so needless to say she knew how to do her own hair and became a Drybar product junkie pretty much immediately! As an executive within the beauty industry for years along with her passion for products, Jill knew she wanted to continue her journey and was looking to do so within her own business in the Twin Cities.

We’ve been friends since high school at Minnetonka. We lived in NYC for over a decade, had our first children out East, all the while brainstorming for many years on what business we could partner on to keep us tethered “home” to the Twin Cities. Bringing Drybar to Minnesota became the perfect opportunity to provide an amazing service experience, to leverage incredible product all in a unique environment [cue the chic flicks and awesome tunes] – to make the women of Minnesota feel beautiful one blowout at a time.

HOW DID WE END UP SELECTING WAYZATA AS OUR FIRST LOCATION?Jill: When my husband, kids and I moved back from the East Coast – we settled into the Western Suburbs of Lake Minnetonka. I stayed involved in the makeup and beauty industry, and clients kept asking for local recommendations on where to get a great blowout! There wasn’t anything that offered the unique Drybar experience in the area and we knew clients would love having this in their backyard. Growing up in Minnetonka area, Anna and I had many well-established relationships across personal and business connections in the Wayzata vicinity and felt that was the best point of entry to partner in a growing and redeveloping area of the Western Suburbs.

We were also very excited that our location in Wayzata was the first franchise to roll out Drybar’s Next Gen elements. Next Gen shops generally have a larger more shoppable footprint. This means that the client is able to touch and test the Drybar products and tools in an area separate from their styling chair. Wayzata also has our new Dry Styling stations and services that are exclusive to Next Gen shops.

In terms of location, we couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of the beautiful Promenade of Wayzata, near the incredible Hotel Landing,

and so many other great restaurants and businesses!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DRYBAR STYLE?Anna: Cosmo! My hair likes to be stick straight... particularly in humidity. When I get a Cosmo — which is loose with lots of curls I have learned to make it last several days by using Drybar’s products such as Triple Sec, and Detox Dry Shampoo.

Jill: Mai Tai — love this effortless beachy look it gives and it is a look that is so versatile while being easy to touch up days after my blowout.

WHAT IS YOUR GO TO DRYBAR PRODUCT?Anna: Prep Rally, a prime and prep detangler. Sprayed on to damp hair before blow-drying keeps my hair healthy. I also use it on my kids’ hair as well.

Jill: Triple Sec gives me texture/grit, amplifies my blowout and smells like heaven. As I love products, I can’t just list one... my second favorite is Drybar’s Detox Dry Shampoo, I love mixing it with the Triple Sec in my roots to give a little more oomph.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PLANS FOR EXPANDING BEYOND WAYZATA?We do! As mentioned, our goal is to make ALL the women of Minnesota feel beautiful one blowout at a time! We will be opening

more locations across the Twin Cities and the state and will soon have an announcement about our expansion plan. WITH BLOW STYLES NAMED AFTER SWANKY COCKTAILS, THE BEAUTIFUL INTERIOR THAT JUST MAKES YOU HAPPY THE MOMENT YOU STEP FOOT THROUGH THE DOOR, AND THE FRIENDLY STAFF YOU’LL SOON BE A DRYBAR ADDICT YOURSELF! BE SURE TO CHECK THEM OUT AT 330 ENGLE STREET, AT THE PROMENADE OF WAYZATA.
