Time Foundation
CHANHASSEN, Minn., Sept. 12,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time (NYSE: LTH) today
announced the nationwide launch of Life Time x Augie's Quest
GO90, a nationwide workout fundraiser to benefit both Augie's
Quest to Cure ALS and the Life Time Foundation, two organizations
that focus on ALS research and patient care, and youth nutrition,
movement and conservation efforts respectively.
The event will take place on Saturday,
September 28, across Life Time's athletic country clubs.
Registration is open to take part and donate to the causes
linked here. Those who are not members of Life Time may take
part in GO90 by registering at this link and selecting the
Life Time location most convenient for them.
GO90 will feature a variety of 90-minute, $25 donation class formats. Each Life Time
participating will host a 90-minute marquee workout and post-event
social. The length of the classes were thoughtfully chosen in

have the option to either participate in a 90-minute session of a
single format or a mashup of multiple formats. There will also be a
streamed class available on the complimentary Life Time Digital app
for people to take anywhere.
"This event is a testament to the power of community and
movement. GO90 is not just an opportunity to fund ALS research,
school nutrition, youth movement and conservation efforts, but a
celebration of our collective strength," said Sarah Emola, Director of the Life Time
Foundation. "Building on the momentum of our Ride of a Life Time
charity cycling event in the spring, we're excited to create
another avenue for our members and communities to give back and
move with purpose in the fall."
"Every 90 minutes someone is diagnosed with ALS. We are proud to
team up with Life Time and their members to raise critical funds
toward our mission of driving breakthroughs in ALS research and
empowering hope for a future without this fatal disease," said
Gretchen Simoneaux, Vice President
of Augie's Quest to Cure ALS. "Our founder, Augie Nieto, and Life Time's founder,
Bahram Akradi, are two icons in the
industry that continue to bring us toward a healthier future."
Augie's Quest is dedicated to supporting ALS research and
empowering hope for a future without the disease. By accelerating
research, enhancing patient care and raising awareness in the fight
to cure ALS. The nonprofit organization was founded by Augie Nieto, a former athlete who founded the
organization in 2005 following his own diagnosis with ALS that same
year. Nieto cofounded Life Fitness, the fitness equipment company,
that many Life Time members are likely familiar with from using the
machines in the company's athletic country clubs.
The Life Time Foundation was established to inspire Healthy
People, a Healthy Planet and a Healthy Way of Life. Beginning in
2011, the Life Time Foundation prioritized the 'Healthy People'
aspect of its mission by supporting children's health through youth
nutrition and, more recently, youth movement programs. With an eye
toward the 'Healthy Planet' element of its mission, the Life Time
Foundation now is expanding focus on forestation and conservation
efforts to help combat climate change driven by fast-rising amounts
of carbon dioxide (CO₂) in the atmosphere.
