"I've always been proud of our company's mission to create a healthier, happier world," said Karl Sanft, President and CEO, 24 Hour Fitness. "Now more than ever, this mission extends beyond physical fitness to include the importance of mental health and well-being. That's why our partnership with Headspace Health is so timely. The science-based mindfulness and meditation app will offer a new level of wellbeing to both our team members and club members -- because we want everyone to develop a healthy mind and body—the best combination to tackle whatever your day brings."Why Headspace?
It's all about the synergy between the two brands. 24 Hour Fitness has listened to its club members and what they want from their fitness experience including a fitness space that supports both mind and body health and is a refuge to help reset their next 24 hours. 64% of the 24 Hour Fitness audience rate emotional well-being as more important now compared to 51% pre-pandemic. Additionally, members highly regard the importance of being active for life and work out to feel good (more so than losing weight), while leveraging mobile apps to keep track of their fitness habits both inside and outside of the club environment.
Headspace offers more than 1,000 hours of premium mindfulness content from guided meditations, eyes-open exercises like mindful walks and runs, breathing and wind-down exercises, focus music, sleep content and more to help people live happier lives. Headspace is a leading player in the meditation and mindfulness category that is committed to advancing the field of mindfulness and meditation through clinically-validated research. In fact, research shows that 30 days of Headspace resulted in 32% decrease in stress, and 4 weeks of Headspace improved focus by 14% -- making Headspace the perfect complement to a 24 Hour Fitness membership.
"Decades of research show that physical and mental health are deeply intertwined," said Katie DiPerna, Senior Vice President, Partnerships, Headspace Health. "With this partnership, we're thrilled to bring awareness of the power of meditation and mindfulness to the 24 Hour Fitness community, and to provide their members and employees with a new tool to improve their overall health and wellbeing."24 Hour Fitness / Headspace Complimentary Subscriptions – The Details
