Luxury Tennis, Athletic Facility Has Grand Opening In Galleria

HOUSTON, TX — The largest operator of indoor tennis facilities in the country just opened a location in the Galleria. Now whether it's rain, sleet, snow or the sweltering Texas heat, folks can work on the serves, forehands and footwork in this dazzling new club. Life Time, a national Healthy Way of Life brand, Friday announced the grand opening of Life Time Tennis and Athletic Galleria.

Formerly Galleria Tennis & Athletic Club, Life Time began operating this destination in April six months ago, but just last week held an official grand opening. The luxuriously renovated club features nine indoor courts with the most sought-after tennis pros and most innovative programming in the country.

Life Time Tennis and Athletic Galleria also has many of the amenities found at most Life Time premier destinations, including a 5,000-square foot training floor with cardio and strength-based cutting-edge equipment, three racquetball courts, Life Shop pro shop, Switchover Bar and Grill and luxurious dressing rooms.

"We recognize the rich history of tennis at The Galleria and are excited to continue serving the community here and at our other healthy lifestyle resorts in Houston," said Jeff Zwiefel, Life Time chief operating officer. "We’re thrilled to be expanding our Life Time portfolio with Simon Property Group, and honored to bring our world-class Life Time Tennis experience to former and new members alike."

Led by long-time Galleria tennis pro Teddy Diblasi, the programming at Life Time Tennis and Athletic will continue growing the sport of tennis across generations while making the process of learning and playing tennis easier. From highly-ranked tournament players to adults and kids just learning, the nine courts will be home to lessons, leagues, mixers and drills.

As the largest operator of indoor tennis facilities in the United States, Life Time features more than 300 indoor and outdoor courts, two USTA Regional Training centers (Atlanta and Minneapolis), a full-time Tennis Academy and more than 250 certified tennis instructors.

Life Time Tennis and Athletic Galleria joins six current Houston-area destinations with more to come in 2018. The club is open seven days a week. For more information visit, lifetime.life/Galleria.
