Signage now for Life Cafe, part of LifeTime Fitness, coming in April at 18 Sixth Ave. near Atlantic Ave. in base of B4 (aka Brooklyn Crossing)

It shouldn't be surprising, I suppose. You can't build a fitness center without an associated cafe.

So the new Chelsea Piers, on Dean Street between Carlton and Vanderbilt avenues, comes with a Canteen, as at its other locations.

And now signage is up at 18 Sixth Avenue below Atlantic Avenue, in B4 (aka Brooklyn Crossing), for not just Life Time fitness center, a "crazy luxe" gym (or a self-described "athletic country club"), but the associated Life Cafe. 

I doubt that Life Cafe, from a company based in Minnesota, has any reference to the East Village and Rent.

The club, designated Life Time Atlantic Avenue, is scheduled to open in April. The capsule description:

Our second destination in Brooklyn features three stories and over 37,000 square feet of premium amenities. Boutique-style training areas and five studios for unique group fitness formats as well as cedarwood saunas, recovery services, and a juice bar.
