Life Time opens on Lakewood Ranch Boulevard

The club opened Oct. 12 at 5000 Lakewood Ranch Blvd. N., according to Life Time's opening announcement.

The company describes a complex of more than 180,000 square feet: an 86,000-square-foot club building, a beach club of nearly 50,000 square feet and a pickleball area of nearly 50,000 square feet. The larger total refers to the destination as a whole.

Amenities include fitness and group-training spaces, pools and waterslides, three indoor and 11 outdoor pickleball courts, a spa and salon, a cafe, coworking areas and children's programming.

Membership information is available through the club or at 941-870-1250. The opening announcement does not establish current membership prices or guest-access terms.

Whole Foods sets Nov. 5 opening

The new Whole Foods Market is scheduled to open at 8 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 5, at 7295 State Road 64 E. in the Marketplace at Heritage Harbour, according to the retailer's announcement.

The 42,000-square-foot store will be the chain's first in Manatee County and 40th in Florida. Regular hours will be 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
