Item 5.02.		Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

     At the annual meeting of shareholders of Life Time Fitness, Inc. (the “Company”) held on April 21, 2011, the shareholders approved the Life Time Fitness, Inc. 2011 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2011 Plan”). The purpose of the 2011 Plan is to provide long-term incentives to persons with responsibility for the success and growth of the Company, to associate the interests of such person with those of the Company’s shareholders, to assist the Company in recruiting, retaining, and motivating a diverse group of employees, consultants, advisors and non-employee directors on a competitive basis, and to ensure a pay-for-performance linkage for such employees and outside directors.

     The Company’s board of directors believes that equity-based incentives are an important part of total compensation for our executives as well as for certain other senior and management-level employees. The 2011 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to awards granted under the 2011 Plan. This number is subject to adjustment for future stock splits, stock dividends and similar changes in the capitalization of the Company. The 2011 Plan will remain in effect until the tenth anniversary of its effectiveness (April 21, 2021), or such earlier date on which the plan is terminated. In addition, our Company’s board of directors may terminate the plan at any time, subject to the conditions stated in the plan. The Company’s Compensation Committee, consisting of independent directors, administers the 2011 Plan.

     The types of awards that may be granted under the 2011 Plan include incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards, and other stock-based awards. Subject to exception for a participant’s termination, death or disability, the incentive and non-qualified stock options and stock appreciation rights will terminate after ten (10) years after the date of grant, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. Except for the participant’s death or disability, restricted share, restricted share units and performance awards will terminate at the date of the participant’s termination of employment, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee. The Company may not use shares repurchased using option exercise proceeds for new grants. Further, the 2011 Plan prohibits repricing of stock options or stock appreciation rights without prior shareholder approval. Finally, upon the approval of the 2011 Plan, the Company ceased making awards under the Amended and Restated Life Time Fitness, Inc. 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”).

     The 2011 Plan is incorporated herein by reference to Appendix A to the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the Commission on March 7, 2011 (the “Proxy Statement”), and is described more fully in the Proxy Statement.
