Life Fitness employees show their support for National Health and Fitness Month Employees are offered time to work out with personal trainers

May is designated as National Health and Fitness Month, celebrating the nation’s commitment to fitness and health. The designation was created in 1956 by President Eisenhower in an effort to encourage the nation to make fitness an everyday priority.  To demonstrate their commitment to physical fitness, Life Fitness dedicated an entire day to encourage employees to get, and stay fit

Employees were given the opportunity to workout with a personal trainer during their workday or after their shifts, at their onsite fitness facilities. 96 employees from the Schiller Park office, and 47 from the Franklin Park office came out to join in on the fun. The event was designed as an effort to increase employees’ awareness of the importance of health and fitness. 
 

All of the employees who participated in the event were excited and enthusiastic. Some employees visited their onsite fitness facility for the very first time. “I liked that a day was designated to remind us how important fitness is. Having the full circuit of the selectorized equipment really motivated me to start using the fitness facility regularly, and the timing of the event was perfect with summer right around the corner,” said Katy Nowak in the technical communications department.  

Employees who participated in the event were entered into a raffle, offered nutritious food, and given fitness tips from a personal trainer. In addition, employees received fitness tips via email.  All of the employees who participated in the event found the advice they received from the personal trainers very helpful. More than 60 employees from both offices were lucky enough to win the raffle prizes. Some of the prizes won included: two sessions with a personal trainer, two bowling bowls, two Life Fitness jackets, tee shirts, towels, hats, and 20 gift certificates to the company store. The grand prize was two Lifecycle exercise bikes. The winners were William Ramirez and Jennifer Maniscalco, both employees of the Schiller Park office. 

The large turnout for the event confirmed how important physical fitness is to Life Fitness employees. The feedback from employees was very positive, and the event was a huge success. Thanks to everyone who came out and showed their support for a healthy lifestyle, and congratulations to all of the winners!
