WOODBURY, MN – Self Esteem Brands (SEB), parent company of a global portfolio of fitness and wellness brands including Anytime Fitness and Stronger U, applauds the announcement of the Fitness is Essential commitments made at the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition and Health by the Community Gyms Coalition (CGC), which represents more than 15,000 community gyms, clubs and fitness facilities across the U.S. that serve more than 25 million members.
Anytime Fitness and Stronger U are providing a publicly accessible virtual satellite event as part of today’s White House Conference, including free access to fitness and nutrition coaching videos designed to help Americans jump-start their fitness and health journeys. More than 70% of Americans live within 10 miles of an Anytime Fitness club, which brings a unique reach across the nation for the Fitness is Essential commitments.
“The past two years have been challenging for all Americans – we weren’t managing our health risk factors or building our immune systems through regular exercise and movement,” said Stacy Anderson, president, Anytime Fitness, in a welcome message for the virtual satellite event. “We have an opportunity now to go in a stronger direction: fitness is essential for Americans to improve their overall physical and mental health, and we are here to help. Along with the other SEB fitness and wellness brands, we are proud members of the CGC and thrilled to join the White House on this important initiative.”
“We’re on a mission to elevate lives, to enrich the health and wellbeing of people and communities,” said Chuck Runyon, co-founder and CEO of Self Esteem Brands. “The Fitness is Essential commitments are a natural extension of our purpose to improve the self-esteem of the world, and we look forward to working with the CGC, The White House, IHRSA (the global health and fitness industry association) and our 2,000 small business AF franchise owners and 1.7 million AF members across the U.S. to bring them to life.”
