disinterested majority of the Company&#146;s board of directors present at a meeting at which a
disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of the board, by special legal
counsel, by the shareholders, or by a court.

PART II-INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
Life Time Fitness, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") hereby incorporates by reference
into this Registration Statement the following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission"):
(1)
The Registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008;
(2)
All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") since December 31, 2008; and
(3)
The description of the Registrant's common stock contained in the Registrant's
Registration Statement on Form 8-A (001-32230) filed with the Commission on June 23,
2004, pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, including any amendment or report
filed for the purpose of updating such description.
All reports and other documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or
15(d) of the Exchange Act prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that indicates that all
of the shares of Common Stock offered have been sold or that deregisters all shares of the Common
Stock then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in and a part of this
Registration Statement from the date of filing of such documents.
Any statement contained in a document incorporated, or deemed to be incorporated, by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to
the extent that a statement contained herein or incorporated herein by reference or in any other
subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein
modifies or supersedes such statement. Any statement so modified or superseded shall not be
deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this Registration Statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Life Time Fitness' common stock is registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and,
therefore, the description of securities is omitted.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
None.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 302A.521, subd. 2, of the Minnesota Statutes requires that the Company indemnify a
person made or threatened to be made a party to a proceeding by reason of the former or present
official capacity of the person with respect to the Company, against judgments, penalties, fines,
including, without limitation, excise taxes assessed against the person with respect to an employee
benefit plan, settlements, and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements,
incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding with respect to the same acts or omissions
if such person (i) has not been indemnified by another organization or employee benefit plan for
the
Table of Contents
same judgments, penalties or fines, (ii) acted in good faith, (iii) received no improper personal
benefit, and statutory procedure has been followed in the case of any conflict of interest by a
director, (iv) in the case of a criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct
was unlawful, and (v) in the case of acts or omissions occurring in the person's performance in the
official capacity of director or, for a person not a director, in the official capacity of officer,
board committee member or employee, reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interests
of the Company, or, in the case of performance by a director, officer or employee of the Company
involving service as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of another
organization or employee benefit plan, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the
best interests of the Company. In addition, Section 302A.521, subd. 3, requires payment by the
Company, upon written request, of reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of the
proceeding in certain instances. A decision as to required indemnification is made by a
disinterested majority of the Company's board of directors present at a meeting at which a
disinterested quorum is present, or by a designated committee of the board, by special legal
counsel, by the shareholders, or by a court.
The Company's articles of incorporation and by-laws provide that the Company shall indemnify
each of our directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permissible by Minnesota
Statute, as detailed above. The Company also maintains a director and officer liability insurance
policy.

Item 9. Undertakings.
A.
The Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act
of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total
dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be
reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price
represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set
forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective Registration
Statement; and
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material
change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (A)(1)(i) and (A)(1)(ii) do not apply if the
Registration Statement is on Form S-8 and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished
to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in
the Registration Statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
B. The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered herein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
C. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a
Table of Contents
director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the
question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
