Brookfield's Life Time Eliminates Furloughed Positions

BROOKFIELD, WI— Life Time, a luxury athletic resort in Brookfield, confirmed that employees who were furloughed in March have been laid off.

A spokesperson for Life Time released the following statement to Patch:

"The ramifications of COVID-19 continue to affect businesses such as ours and we did make the difficult decision to eliminate positions that had been on furlough status since our initial closure on March 16. The vast majority of these roles were extremely part time. We look forward to when our clubs are back at normal capacities and we are able to hire once again."

When pressed to find out how many employees were impacted, Life Time refused to answer.

"Unfortunately as a private company we opt not to share that information, which I hope you can understand and appreciate," the spokesperson said.

Life Time, 17585 Golf Pkwy, was nominated for Brookfield Patch's Business of the Year. In a story posted on Wednesday, John Dahman, general manager at Life Time said the club is starting to get employees back to their pre-pandemic hours.

"This is a good sign for us," Dahman said. He also added that overall business is doing well.
