After six years, the athletic club Life Time has finally opened at Broadway Plaza, right across from Macy’s in downtown Walnut Creek. At over 76,000 square feet, as expected, this place is massive! My favorite parts I got to preview was the sauna, cold plunge pool, rooftop pool, basketball/pickleball courts and cycling studio. They even have a full size salon on the lower level! If money were no object, I would definitely join this club as there is so much to do. If you’re in the area, definitely drop by LifeCafe for a refreshing drink.
