Life Time – The Healthy Way Of Life Company
CHANHASSEN, MN – While January 1 is the traditional day millions announce their New Year’s Resolutions, research shows only 8% of Americans achieve success. For the fifth year, Life Time, is aiming to help people rethink resolutions and instead make a true, internal commitment to themselves to living a healthy way of life by participating in the Commitment Day 5K Fun Run and Walk. Held at more than 40 Life Time destinations across the U.S. and Canada, Commitment Day empowers individuals, families and communities to start the year on the right foot by marking their pledge with action toward a year of better health. New for 2017, a Virtual 5K is available for anyone in North America to join in. All participants will receive a race bib and commemorative Commitment Day tee shirt. Registration, locations and pricing details are available at www.CommitmentDay.com.
Commitment Weekend kicks off on Friday, Dec. 30 and continues through Monday, Jan. 2, when Life Time will open its doors to everyone – whether a member or not. During each of the four days, Life Time’s 122 destinations will feature a variety of health and fitness experiences and activities for all ages. In addition to the 5K Fun Run and Walk on Jan. 1, people can take part in unique-to-Life Time group fitness, indoor cycle and yoga classes such as Strike, Amp Cycle and Warrior Sculpt, as well as Alpha Training. Life Time’s indoor aquatic centers, basketball courts, rock walls and tennis, racquetball and squash courts will all be open with club-specific programming to help men, women and kids make their commitment even easier by doing activities they love or trying new things that will inspire them in the coming year.
The motivation continues after Commitment Weekend, when, on Sunday, Jan. 8, more than 75 Life Time destinations are set to host the renowned Life Time Indoor Triathlon. Participants will complete a 10-minute indoor pool swim, a 30-minute bike ride in a cycle studio, and a 20-minute run on a treadmill.
As part of all of the activities, participants are invited to help improve school nutrition by contributing to the Life Time Foundation, the official charity partner of Commitment Day. The Life Time Foundation is on a mission to eliminate the Harmful 7 ingredients from school menus so that every child receives the healthy lunch they deserve. Uniquely, Life Time covers all administrative costs for the public charity, meaning 100 percent of all donations go directly to supporting schools across the nation.
During Commitment Weekend, those interested in becoming members will receive special pricing and incentives to help ensure they achieve their total health objectives, athletic aspirations and fitness goals in the coming year.
