Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Hospitality Jobs at Life Time Jobs
Frame your credentials around service roles
Life Time's hospitality hiring centers on member-facing positions that require proven service and communication skills. Translate certifications in fitness, food safety, or hospitality management into U.S.-legible credentials before you apply, since these directly support specialty occupation or PERM filings.
Target locations with large club footprints
Life Time operates large-format clubs in metro areas like Dallas, Minneapolis, and New York. Concentrating your search on these markets increases your odds of finding openings with enough staffing infrastructure to support the employer-side administrative work a visa sponsorship requires.
Start OPT applications before your program ends
If you're on an F-1 visa, file your OPT authorization with USCIS at least 90 days before your program end date. Life Time has used F-1 OPT for hospitality hires, so arriving at the interview stage with a valid EAD or a filed application removes a common early objection.
Ask directly about PERM during offer negotiations
Employment-based Green Card sponsorship through PERM involves a DOL-supervised recruitment process that employers initiate. Raise it explicitly once you have a written offer, not before, so the conversation happens after they've decided they want you in the role.
Use Migrate Mate to filter Life Time hospitality openings by visa type
Searching broadly across job boards won't surface sponsorship-eligible roles reliably. Use Migrate Mate to filter Life Time's open hospitality positions by the visa categories they support, so you're only spending time on roles that match your current immigration status.
Verify your I-9 eligibility documents before your start date
Life Time participates in E-Verify, meaning your work authorization is electronically confirmed against federal records at onboarding. Have your passport, EAD, or other List A or B and C documents current and accessible before your first day to avoid delays that could affect your start date.

Find Hospitality at Life Time JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does Life Time sponsor H-1B visas for Hospitality roles?
Life Time's hospitality sponsorship activity has been concentrated in employment-based Green Card categories and F-1 practical training programs rather than H-1B visas. Most hospitality positions, such as member services or food and beverage roles, don't typically meet the specialty occupation standard that H-1B requires, so EB-2, EB-3, or OPT pathways are more realistic for this function.
How do I apply for Hospitality jobs at Life Time?
Apply directly through Life Time's careers portal, where hospitality openings are listed by club location and department. Before applying, confirm the role is open to sponsored candidates by reviewing the job description carefully or reaching out to the recruiting team. Having your visa status and work authorization timeline ready to share will help move conversations forward faster.
Which visa types are commonly used for Hospitality roles at Life Time?
Life Time has sponsored hospitality employees through EB-2 and EB-3 employment-based Green Card categories, which require a PERM labor certification filed with the DOL. F-1 students have also entered hospitality roles through CPT during their studies and OPT after graduation. These pathways fit well with the range of service and operations roles Life Time hires for across its clubs.
What qualifications does Life Time expect for sponsored Hospitality positions?
Life Time generally looks for candidates with hands-on experience in member services, spa, food and beverage, or club operations. For Green Card sponsorship through PERM, the DOL requires the employer to define minimum qualifications that reflect genuine business needs, so expect the role to have specific experience or education requirements tied to the sponsorship pathway rather than flexible preferred qualifications.
How long does the sponsorship process take for a Hospitality hire at Life Time?
Green Card sponsorship through EB-3 typically takes two to four years from PERM filing to approval, depending on your country of birth and visa bulletin movement. F-1 OPT authorization from USCIS takes up to 90 days to process. Starting a job search early relative to your program end date or current authorization expiration gives you the most runway to work through these timelines. Browse open roles on Migrate Mate to identify current Life Time hospitality openings that align with your situation.
