U.S. Premium Health Club Stock Surges 700 Billion Won in One Day

Life Time Group Holdings (NYSE: LTH), the U.S. premium health-club operator, closed at $39.95 on the New York Stock Exchange on June 24, up 5.6%. In a single session, its market capitalization rose by about $528 million (roughly KRW 730 billion), bringing total market value to approximately $8.89 billion (around KRW 12.3 trillion).

In its first-quarter 2026 results released May 5, Life Time reported revenue of $787.7 million and net income of $88.1 million, both up year-over-year, and authorized a share-repurchase program of up to $500 million. In May, a TPG-affiliated private-equity fund sold several hundred million dollars’ worth of shares, cutting its stake below 5%. On June 10 and June 24, the same insiders filed consecutive Form 144 disclosures with the SEC, signaling further potential share sales and profit-taking by major shareholders and insiders.

Life Time, which went public in October 2021, operates a network of large fitness clubs, sports facilities, and wellness centers across the U.S. and Canada. Its primary revenue drivers are membership fees and ancillary services, and the company pursues aggressive club expansion and debt reduction alongside share repurchases to balance growth with shareholder returns.
