REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the stockholders and the Board of Directors of Life Time Group Holdings, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Life Time Group Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 28, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Sale-Leaseback Transactions – Refer to Notes 2 and 9 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

As described in Note 9 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company entered into and consummated sale-leaseback transactions involving three properties with unrelated third parties during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company determined that the transactions qualified as sale-leaseback transactions in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases.

We identified management’s evaluation of whether the sale-leaseback transactions transferred control, was recognized timely, and at fair value, as a critical audit matter. Management applies judgment in assessing relevant lease terms, provisions, and other conditions, including repurchase rights, included in the Company’s sale and lease agreements to determine whether or not the control of the real estate property has transferred from the Company, the timing of the transaction, and the determination of fair value. Auditing these assessments made by management involved challenging auditor judgment due to the extent of specialized skills or knowledge required.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to sale-leaseback transactions included the following, among others:

•We tested the effectiveness of controls over the accounting for sale-leaseback transactions, including controls over (a) management’s determination of fair value of the property and (b) the application of ASC 606 to determine whether a sale has occurred and ASC 842 to determine the classification of the lease.

•We selected a sample of sale-leaseback transactions and performed the following:

•Assessed management’s application of ASC Topic 842 and evaluated relevant lease terms, provisions and other conditions included in the Company’s sale-leaseback agreements to assess the appropriateness of the conclusion that a transfer of control has occurred.

•Evaluated whether the Company appropriately accounted for the sale by recognizing the transaction price for the sale of the property at the time control is transferred to the third party, derecognizing the carrying amount of the asset, and accounting for the lease in accordance with ASC Topic 842.

•Utilized professionals with specialized skills and knowledge in valuation to assist with assessing whether the fair value of the property was appropriately recorded for the sale-leaseback.

•Recalculated the operating lease right-of-use asset and liability based on the terms of the agreement and calculated incremental borrowing rate.
