Welcome

For today’s leading brands, it’s no longer enough to simply shout and hope someone will hear. It’s now about reaching, relating and connecting with those who matter most. It’s about becoming a part of your customers’ lives – and staying that way.

Traditional media mixes deliver impressions. They’re not so great for forging relationships. That’s where Life Time is different.

Think of Life Time Media as your gateway to integrated, surround-sound engagement with the right consumers. It’s your ticket to a large and growing community of people looking to better themselves, their health and their lives. They’re active, educated, higher-income women and men, fitting squarely within today’s most sought-after demographics.

Engage them where they already like to spend their time. Engage them with advertising at their club, a place they trust and return to again and again. Engage them in their homes with our award-winning magazine. Engage them as they participate in or watch world-class Life Time athletic events. Engage them online while they’re looking for advice about buying products just like yours. It’s powerful, effective messaging, through integrated channels, delivering unmatched results.

If it sounds out of the ordinary, that’s because it is. Find out why Life Time is different – and why so many of today’s leading brands already consider us a partner.

It’s a different world.

The difference is integration.

Picture your ideal customer. Then, picture this.

At the club before work, she sees a TV ad for your product as she’s on the elliptical trainer. She scans your poster on the way to the locker room, and she grabs a sample of your product before dashing out the door. Catching a few free minutes in the evening, she sees your ad alongside an article she’s reading in Experience Life, a magazine that helps her lead a simpler, healthier way of life. And that night, with the kids finally asleep, she’s online at myLT.com looking at the schedule for tomorrow’s Pilates class and – there again – another message from you.

That’s what we mean when we talk about the difference of our integrated media platforms. Use them in combination, as so many of our partners do, and you’re tapping into unmatched potential for building strong, sustaining relationships with some of today’s most sought-after consumers. While members work out, our in-club TV network, LTF Vision Network, airs in their line of sight on dozens of large, plasma TVs. In-club signage, both print and digital, delivers strategically placed messages with high visibility. Product sampling brings brands to life and gives you the opportunity to make a one-to-one connection with your consumer.

Outside the club, Experience Life magazine has a passionate readership that enjoys award-winning health and fitness content both in print and online at experiencelifemag.com. Other online channels include myLT.com, our exclusive member website with more than 30 interactive interest groups, and Member Advantage, where members enjoy exclusive savings with our partner brands.

World-class athletic events produced by Life Time Fitness draw thousands of participants nationwide ranging from elite triathletes to first-time 5K racers, offering high-profile sponsorship opportunities and face-to-face brand interaction.

We also connect with our members through research. Through pre- and post-studies and focus groups, we offer a direct line to your customers’ perceptions about your brand, your products and the effectiveness of your marketing.

These distinctive, integrated, media platforms represent an extraordinary opportunity to surround target consumers with your brand at every step of the purchase-making process.

Nothing drives results like reaching the right consumers, right where they are. Life Time Fitness offers a wide array of channels to engage members during their tens of millions of visits to our clubs – one visit at a time.

LTF Vision NetworkSeven of every 10 Life Time members say our large, 61-inch plasma televisions help them make the most of their workout. Well-positioned to face the stationary machines and weight-training area, these screens engage the member with your brand through customized commercial spots and offers. Even if they’re not in view, the spots can be heard throughout the club – even in the locker rooms and hallways.

Digital Signage Your brand messages and images make a powerful statement on large, brilliant, digital screens mounted in highly visible club locations. The screens feature need-to-know club information for members, rotating with selected messages from brands wanting to connect with them.

In-Club Signage Whether you’re advertising a limited-time offer or launching a new product, our spacious, well-appointed fitness centers make a perfect backdrop for your promotion or message. Highly customizable Life Time Fitness signage can help you target gender, a geographic region or even a single location. Signage options include banners, posters (with or without brochure holders) and more.

Experiential MarketingYou can tell them all about it. Or you can have them taste it, feel it and experience it for real. Especially effective when paired with other Life Time Fitness media channels (such as magazine ads or TV spots), experiential marketing and sampling makes a powerful impression that leads to trial and sales.

SponsorshipsThrough our many group fitness classes (810,000 participants per month), in-club training groups (such as the popular T.E.A.M. Weight Loss program), athletic events, and in-club events (monthly events that bring members together), sponsorship is a unique and highly visible way to associate your brand with like-minded members while they’re doing what they love to do.

The difference is direct reach.

Updated daily, the sites give members reasons to return often.

experiencelifemag.comAn interactive extension of our award-winning magazine, experiencelifemag.com is a rich multimedia resource for people committed to living at their healthiest.

Experience Life Magazine Forward-thinking and meticulously researched, Experience Life is a whole-life health and fitness magazine unlike any other on the newsstand today. It receives rave reviews from experts and readers alike for its unprecedented commitment to helping people make and sustain healthy-way-of-life change.

Available by subscription and on select newsstands (including Whole Foods and Barnes and Noble) Experience Life is read by intelligent, discerning women and men who want meaningful, in-depth information – not gimmicks and quick fixes – to help them get the most of their time and energy.

Print ads in Experience Life put your message in front of a coveted and motivated audience. Additional advertising opportunities exist at experiencelifemag.com, the magazine’s vibrant and fast-growing online presence, where an entire community of health-minded consumers log on for inspired advice on living healthy, happy, for real.

Athletic Events Every year, in towns and cities across the U.S., Life Time athletic events give people seeking a healthy way of life the chance to be part of something big. And we offer leading brands an opportunity to position themselves among them – front-and-center.

We attract elite athletes who fly from around the world to compete in the Life Time Fitness Triathlon Series. We draw families who gather every year to enjoy the Turkey Day 5K together. We give children their first taste of athletic achievement through the Kids Triathlon. We engage with thousands of passionate spectators and volunteers. They’re all part of the vast audience of engaged consumers who return to our events, year after year, race after race.

Our events and brand partners benefit from heavy promotion through all media channels. From Twitter feeds to traditional print advertising, we create a buzz around each and every event that lasts well beyond race day. Many events include VIP parties, live entertainment, and a wide range of other opportunities to make your brand a focal point of a truly memorable experience.

The difference is authenticity.

ATHLETICEVENTS

Life Time Fitness is the driving force behind some of the world’s iconic triathlons, mountain bike events and endurance races. And there’s no finish line in sight. As one of the leading producers of athletic events in the U.S., we’re committed to creating and managing epic events that attract thousands of engaged, passionate people.

And those people range from elite athletes to first-time amateurs. For example, we produce the Life Time Fitness Triathlon Series, a collection of the biggest and best Olympic distance races in America. In addition, we produce Life Time Fitness run events that are less competitive but fun for the entire family.

With the addition of the Leadville Series (The Race Across the Sky), we’ve established a strong presence in the endurance sports world. The Leadville 100 Series includes 100- and 50-mile bike races (featuring elite cyclists like Lance Armstrong) in which racers compete in altitudes of more than 12,000 feet. The Series also includes a 24-hour bike ride and other endurance tests in the mountains above Vail, Colorado.

We expect to add to our portfolio of athletic events during 2011. Check with your account manager for the latest updates and newest opportunities for strengthening your marketing mix.

Media Opportunities

Advertising: Display your brand in full-page, four-color ads in top national and regional magazines.

Online: Engage deeper through brand videospots, interactive banners or links to special offers on your website.

Publicity: Coverage by local press celebrates communities and personal achievements.

At the Race: All-day signage and race news sourceswill tout your support.

Integrated Media: Use all media platforms (in-club signage; race day banners and product samplings; banner ads and more) to boost your presence, visibility and results.

In-Life: Athletic Events

Athletic Events

Sponsorship ElementsSponsorship of Life Time Fitness athletic events provides companies a vast array of opportunities. We do not limit sponsors to a few signs on a course and a small expo space. Sponsors can tailor their program to deliver the best results that position their brand in the highest manner. Whether the goal is ROI or ROO Life Time event sponsorships deliver.

All sponsors receive marketing benefits that go beyond the event day activity. Web presence, social media LTF In-club Media, marketing and other media deliver your brand, your logo, your message to a vast audience, over multiple months.

Title Sponsor Your brand name is the event name. For example, become the (your brand name here) sponsor of the Chicago Triathlon. Your name and logo are imbedded in the event name and will have annual impressions that reach hundreds of millions of people.

Presenting Sponsor Your brand receives top billing as the Presenting Sponsor of an event. Presenting Sponsors receive a similar amount of recognition as a Title sponsor, but for a smaller investment.

Exclusive Sponsor Exclusive Sponsors enjoy category exclusivity in their event (or series of events). Sponsors can focus on the quality of their activation without the worry of competitors stealing their sponsorships benefits.

Official Sponsor Official Sponsors sponsor a specific element of the event, or a product or service. The official timekeeper, the official swim sponsor, the official technology partner are just a few examples.

All sponsors meet with the Life Time Event Activation Team to plan their sponsorship. Our teams work together to develop a program that accomplishes your goals. We can help sell your product on-site, sample products of all types, drive event participants and spectators to your retail displays and give your brand maximum exposure.

Other sponsorship platforms include VIP parties, athletes and more. If you have an idea, we probably have a sponsor level for you.
