City's Largest Indoor Pickleball Destination Opens in THE
PENN DISTRICT on April 15th
The completion of the 54,000-square-foot luxury athletic
club transforms the street level experience of the recently
redeveloped 2.5-million-square-foot PENN 1 office tower with
the debut of seven, street level pickleball courts – the most
in New York City – along with the
unveiling of a massive space for Life Time's exclusive Alpha, GTX,
and UltraFit signature group training programs. The pickleball
courts are available for reservations for open play, mixers,
leagues, clinics and tournaments and the training space will offer
more than 50 classes weekly by the city's top coaches and personal
trainers.
"Life Time continues to gain tremendous momentum across
Manhattan and Brooklyn because of our incredible people,
programs and places, including this new iconic destination at PENN
1," said Parham Javaheri, Chief
Property Development Officer and President of Club Operations. "The
transformation of The PENN DISTRICT has been exhilarating to watch
under the expertise of Vornado Realty Trust and brings Life Time to
a whole new level in New York.
We're proud to be the wellness anchor for this entire area."
The opening of the pickleball and training space complements
Life Time's thriving Class Collection boutique studios with
nearly 60 classes offered weekly, and a functional training floor
featuring state-of-the-art cardio and strength-based equipment, and
dedicated spaces for recovery, relaxation and stretching with Life
Time's Dynamic Personal Training team. Members also have access to
luxurious dressing rooms with saunas showers, plush amenities and
complimentary lockers, and a juice bar with Life Time's proprietary
nutritional products. In total, the club covers a portion of three
floors of the office tower.
As part of the redeveloped 55-story building, which sits
directly atop Penn Station and serves global office tenants, Life
Time is readily accessible to hundreds of thousands of daily
commuters, visitors and locals alike.
"Life Time PENN 1 is a core piece of our vision for The PENN
DISTRICT as a vibrant and welcoming community powered by the
highest-quality amenities and operators," said Glen Weiss, Executive Vice President of Office
Leasing and Co-Head of Real Estate at Vornado. "From health and
wellness options to an array of dining selections and inspired
social spaces, The PENN DISTRICT offers residents, commuters, and
visitors endless ways to come together, day and night and
we're thrilled Life Time Pickleball is a part of it."
