Location & Expansion
This Life Time club is a large, Onyx-level facility located in the basement of the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. The primary challenge noted by members is parking, which is paid street parking that can be expensive and difficult to find, especially during events. The club has undergone renovations, but a significant change that members frequently criticize is the removal of both basketball courts, which were replaced with pickleball and a circuit training area.
