Corporex Announces Final Sale of Five Seasons Family Sports Club to Life Time, Inc.

Five Seasons, Cincinnati

The sale marks a milestone moment in Corporex’s legacy of community investment

COVINGTON, Ky. (April 22, 2025) – Corporex, a privately held investment and development firm based in Covington, Ky., announces the final sale of its Five Seasons Family Sports Club brand to Life Time, Inc., marking the successful culmination of a 37-year journey of building, growing and evolving one of the region’s most respected health and wellness brands. This transition reflects the next chapter for both organizations and reaffirms Corporex’s continued commitment to investing in people, places and communities.

As part of this transaction, four of the Five Seasons locations – Burr Ridge and Northbrook in Illinois, and Dayton and Cincinnati in Ohio – have been sold to Life Time, Inc., a national leader in healthy lifestyle communities.

Ownership of the Five Seasons location in Crestview Hills, Ky., remains with Thomas More University, strengthening the institution’s presence and potential in the region. Thomas More University originally purchased the club from Corporex in 2023, while operation of the club remained under Corporex. Corporex will be transitioning all operations fully to Thomas More later this spring.

“Corporex’s strength lies not just in real estate and investment, but in curating brands that uplift neighborhoods and contribute to long-term vitality,” said Brett Blackwell, president and COO of Corporex. “We look forward to what the future holds as we continue to seek and support impactful brands – whether we’re building them from the ground up or helping existing ones grow to their full potential.”

Founded in 1988 in Northern Kentucky, Five Seasons was carefully developed by Corporex to deliver more than just a fitness experience. Over nearly four decades, it has grown into a community-centric brand, adapting to meet the diverse needs of each location while maintaining its core values of wellness, hospitality and excellence.

This sale highlights Corporex’s ongoing mission to support organizations that create value and empower local communities. It reflects a strategic commitment that has guided the company in both founding new ventures—such as Five Seasons and Commonwealth Hotels—and acquiring and growing promising existing businesses like Kings Hammer and Alpine Master Builders.

Life Time, Inc., a leading healthy lifestyle brand and world-class operator with a national footprint, will carry forward the Five Seasons operations under their name.
