Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM), the healthy way of life company, today announced the opening of The Herb Box, an eatery and market specializing in all-natural, organic items, on December 13. Located in the Eden Prairie Life Time Athletic Club at 755 Prairie Center Drive, the Herb Box concept will provide members and guests with an incredible array of healthy, high-quality organic breakfast, lunch and dinner items that support Life Time’s healthy way of life commitment. The Herb Box offering will replace Life Time’s former restaurant, Zahtar.

"We are extremely proud to welcome the Herb Box format to Eden Prairie,” said John Reilly, Life Time Fitness Senior Vice President. "Through this relationship we’re providing members and guests a carefully crafted, affordable menu of healthy, prepared and on-the-go selections based on a proven model.”

Based upon a track record of operating successful restaurants for years in Arizona, the menu will include popular Herb Box dishes, such as the market street steak salad, brown sugar pork ciabatta and market street short rib tacos.

"The Herb Box has a long-standing reputation for preparing healthy, fresh, delicious food,” said Susan Wilcox, co-owner and founder of The Herb Box. "It made perfect sense that we bring our innovative and imaginative cooking to Life Time—Minnesota’s healthy way of life destination.”

The Herb Box will be open Monday through Thursday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; and Sunday 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with the market open until 9:00 p.m. For more information, visit www.theherbbox.com or www.lifetimefitness.com.

About The Herb Box
The Herb Box has been an Arizona fixture since its conception in 1995, when co-owners Susan Smederovac-Wilcox and Chef Becky J. Windels decided to embark on a partnership devoted to high-level event planning and creative cuisine. The eatery, market and catering company has since expanded to three locations around Scottsdale, offering fresh, seasonal fare for carryout or for a relaxing sit-down meal.
