LifeStart has the largest portfolio of corporate fitness centers in the nation. With over 100 sites under management and more than 500 successful design projects, LifeStart has the expertise to bring your onsite fitness center to life.
Our team includes dedicated specialists with backgrounds in finance, construction management, marketing, information systems, dietetics, and of course fitness center and gym management. We refine each client's expectations, leveraging our history and our values as we develop and operate their onsite fitness center.
We understand that the greatest hurdle to a successful program is engagement. That's why we've created a new method of maximizing participation and program utilization. In the end, our engagement strategies improve the health of your employees and your business.
Let us show you how the LifeStart model is transforming corporate fitness center management.
LifeStart understands that the modern office worker demands integrated delivery of all the services available in the building, unified in a single technology platform.
From lounge and conference room management to special events programming, from rotating pop-up amenity services to work-order management, LifeStart drives tenant engagement by activating your common areas and outdoor spaces. And we promote your brand by white-labeling our services and integrating with your existing partners.
We're obsessed with helping organizations create exceptional workplace experiences. LifeStart's amenity-experience platform allows you to differentiate your building in the marketplace and strengthen loyalty among your existing tenant base. We connect your tenants with your building-specific environments, amenities, and communities to reach new demographics and support your unique culture and brand.
Let LifeStart's hospitality and engagement specialists help you to build a true community in your building!
Our innovative team of experienced professionals can help you develop a creative, cutting edge and functional space designed to engage your population.
Our clients choose us because they know that what we do adds real value to their project, from deciding how big the center should be, to the precise selection of equipment, finishes, wall graphics, etc. We know how to create a facility that meets your unique needs. Let us prove it!
With over 25 years of experience, averaging over 20 projects a year, we provide expert knowledge and experience for every design and development project.
Our process starts with a full financial feasibility study. We outline all revenue sources and expenses to show you the financial viability of your investment. We also do a demographic analysis of your eligible population to determine your membership base, peak load, and expected active penetration rates.
We then work with your team to design a custom solution that ensures that you get the most value for your investment. We help you build an appropriately sized center and outfit it with the right equipment. Along the way, we work closely with contractors, architects, construction teams, and interior-design experts to guide them through the entire process.
With LifeStart leading your efforts, you'll have peace of mind knowing that your investment is in good hands.
LifeStart invests heavily in technology to achieve the optimal member experience and to build a sense of community and engagement at your property. We integrate with the best-of-breed technology vendors. And when our vision is too far ahead of the market, we design and develop our own systems in-house.
For example, our member portal can be customized and white-labeled with your company or building brand, and we can even deploy custom branded apps for your property to the App Store and Google Play, at no extra charge.
Our technology allows us to view and react to events at our fitness and amenity centers across the nation in real time. We produce automated dashboard analytics for our customers that show utilization and engagement trends, allowing us to constantly customize and improve your site's programming.
We can even integrate with physical devices in your building, for example, by tying into your keycard reader and logging member visits to our operating platform. We've also developed API integrations with all major machine manufactures, allowing us to show a real-time rendering of machine usage in the center.
Finally, we use technology to provide additional services to building tenants who are not members of the fitness center. Through our Momentum Health offering, for example, we can host full biometric screening events, flu shots, and even COVID-19 antibody and PCR swab tests, via our completely paperless web/app platform.
