Life Time Invites Consumers to Take One Positive Action during 8th Annual Commitment Day; Make-A-Wish and Life Time Foundation to Serve as 2020 Beneficiaries

CHANHASSEN, Minn., Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time, the premier healthy lifestyle brand, is kicking off the New Year with its 8^th annual Commitment Day movement. For 2020, the company is supporting Make-A-Wish in its mission to grant the wishes of children facing critical illnesses and the Life Time Foundation in its work to remove artificial and processed ingredients from school food. 

"We launched Commitment Day in 2013 to inspire and encourage healthy, sustainable changes in the New Year rather than making resolutions that often don't stick," Life Time Founder, Chairman and CEO Bahram Akradi said. "Through the years since, Commitment Day has become a mainstay with 5K's and events happening across the U.S. and Canada. This year, we're inviting everyone to commit to take One Positive Action toward a healthier, happier life and benefit two great causes for children in our communities."

From Dec. 28 through Jan. 5, Life Time destinations will be open to everyone with a broad array of healthy and motivating events.

Events and activities may vary by location. Additional information and registration is available online at www.CommitmentDay.com.

"A wish gives children renewed energy and strength, providing them hope today so they can look forward to tomorrow," said Richard K. Davis, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. "As individuals across the county make their own commitments in preparation for 2020, Make-A-Wish is thrilled to have Life Time alongside us in our journey to grant the wish of every child battling a critical illness."

All Commitment Day participants will have the opportunity to join in supporting Make-A-Wish and the Life Time Foundation via online donations, with Commitment Day 5K registrations and in-club at all Commitment Day events. Starting Dec. 2, opportunities also will be made available within the LifeSpa and LifeCafe.
