Our Media Platforms
Thousands of active, fitness-minded people choose to spend hours and hours with
us to improve themselves and their lives. Just as they look to us to help them do it,
they’ll look to you in the same way. With a variety of proven and effective media
platforms, you can build and strengthen relationships with them while they’re
attuned and receptive to what you have to say.
Life Time Fitness Network
Life Time Fitness Indoor Advertising
Get your brand in the mix. The Life Time Fitness
Network is our in-house television network —
a commanding medium that delivers your message
with power.
Relate face to face. Life Time Fitness Indoor Advertising
places poster-sized ads within our clubs. It delivers longlasting impressions and the repetition needed to
reinforce messages and deliver results.
The only form of music entertainment in our clubs and
the ambient sound throughout the club, Life Time Fitness
Network programming helps viewers enjoy and get the
most out of their workouts. More than 70 percent of
members say they watch the Life Time Fitness Network
all of the time, most of the time or some of the time
during their club visits.*
Posters in cherry wood frames are placed in high-traffic
areas — near locker room and fitness area entrances,
water fountains and other prime locations.With only
27 frames per club, they get high visibility. And with
more than 2,800 people visiting each club daily, the
medium offers serious repeat exposure to healthconscious consumers.
Messages from top brands play on vivid, 61-inch plasma
screens — more than 30 in each facility — with 25 percent
of all screens tuned to the Life Time Fitness Network. Ad
recall is greater than that of network television.*

Sampling
Product Displays
Nothing beats real interaction for sparking
customer relationships.
Product displays can range from an automobile display
in front of our facility, to an interactive kiosk, to a static
display located in a high-traffic area within the club.
Sampling is a powerful complement to our other media
platforms. We can place your advertising in our magazine,
for example, and then cost-effectively deliver your
product to the very same audience.
With personal sampling, we hand your product to our
members — using our staff or yours as you prefer. And
our take-one sampling program allows members to select
products on their own from a strategically located display.
Event Sponsorship
Great customers attend our athletic events in droves as
participants and as spectators. Get in front of them and
you’ll associate your brand with other high-profile names
in a high-energy environment they already know
and trust.
For example, there’s the Life Time Fitness Triathlon.
It brings together the world’s elite men and women
triathletes for one of the largest purses in the sport.
It’s also part of the Life Time Fitness Triathlon Series,
comprised of world-class triathlons in Minneapolis,
New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Dallas.
Many Life Time Fitness Media clients add event
sponsorships as a supporting element along with print
or indoor placements to supplement and strengthen
their overall brand presence.
Other Life Time Fitness events include:
Run Wild 5K
Torchlight Run
Life Time Fitness Indoor Triathlon®
Turkey Day 5K
Special Events
Special events can be initiated by clients or involve
sponsorship of one of the dozens of Life Time Fitness
special events held every year. For instance, you can
sponsor one of our Halloween parties or we can
help you produce your own event.
In-Club Sponsorships
Sponsoring a Life Time Fitness in-club activity, like our
T.E.A.M.TM Weight Loss group fitness program, is a great
way to increase exposure and connect with large
groups of people. As they achieve goals, your brand
will be associated with their success.

Client Success Stories
Our members trust us to help them live better, healthier lives. So it’s no wonder that
they’re willing to extend that trust to the brands with which we partner. Here’s just a
sampling of how it works with demonstrable ROI.
Jeep
Background. Jeep, a division of Daimler Chrysler, has introduced a number of new models
(Commander, Patriot and Compass), and re-introduced some brand icons (Cherokee and
Wrangler) over the past three years.
Program Detail. Jeep continued a three-year run with Life Time Fitness Media using a truly
integrated media program.The media platforms include Experience Life magazine, in-club
television, signage and banners, in-club sponsorship of rock climbing walls, event sponsorship,
online and one-on-one marketing.
Results. As a result of this strong media program, the Life Time Fitness audience indexes at
an amazing 505 for Jeep purchases in model year 2006. Advertising is about driving sales, and
Jeep’s Life Time Fitness 2006 program generated more than $120,000,000 in Jeep purchases.

Wish-Bone Salad Dressing
Background. Wish-Bone Salad Spritzers, a division of Unilever, launched in Q4 2006.
The product provides great taste with fewer calories because the dressing is sprayed instead
of poured.
Program Detail. During the initial product launch, Wish-Bone ran a small media test with
Life Time Fitness that proved successful. In Q1 2007, Wish-Bone increased its presence with a
variety of Life Time Fitness Media platforms to introduce some new flavors and drive trial of the
entire line. Media utilized included Experience Life advertising and advertorial as well as in-club
television, signage and sampling.
Results. During a weekend sampling, more than 40,000 Life Time Fitness members trialed
four different Salad Spritzer flavors. Based on the advertising and sampling, more than
88 percent said that they would purchase Salad Spritzers.

supplements including energy bars, shakes, powders and ready-to-drink products.

marketing and event sponsorship, Ameriprise Financial Services grew market share while adding
hundreds of new customers.

Digital Specifications
Ads must be submitted in a digital format along with a color
proof. Ads submitted incorrectly, including incorrectly sized
ads, will incur additional production charges to correct the
files. Production charges are in addition to space rate and are
non-negotiable. Production is billed at $65 per hour with a
minimum of $20 for type changes, resizing, color changes, etc.
These prices should be used as a guideline only. Additional
charges may apply. Ads received after deadline are subject to
a $50 late fee. Ad materials are stored for 12 months and
then destroyed unless otherwise specified.
Acceptable file formats: QuarkXPress (preferred) or Adobe
InDesign; Illustrator (remove spot colors and layers);
Photoshop (remove ICC profiles and LZW compression); or
PDF/X. Files must be sent in Macintosh format only.
Images/scans: 300 dpi TIFF or EPS files only. Files saved as low
resolution GIF, JPEG or PICT (e.g., those pulled from a Web
site) are not intended for print use and will not be accepted.
No Pantone/PMS or RGB colors. All images must be in
CMYK format and color corrected. We are not responsible
for color on RGB or PMS files that must be converted to
CMYK. B/W scans should be saved as grayscale or bitmap.
Logos/artwork: EPS files preferred. Avoid scaling, rotation and
cropping of images in layout program. Do not nest EPS files
within other EPS files.
Fonts: All printer and screen fonts must be included.
PostScript Type 1 or Type 3 fonts only. Avoid using TrueType
fonts. Use stylized fonts and do not use menu-styled fonts for
bold, italic or bold italic type. All fonts used in art files must
be converted to outlines.
