In recognition of the Deluxe Edition 40th Anniversary release of Newton-John's "Physical," Crunch locations around the world will be hosting a group fitness event on October 20th in an attempt to set a world record title for the most people performing lying lateral leg raises simultaneously (to mimic the leg move in the iconic Physical music video). Crunch Fitness invites members and non-members to help us make history in honor of this iconic anniversary.

"I'm so excited to be partnering with Crunch and ThirdLove for this special 40th anniversary of Physical," said Olivia Newton-John. "Both brands fit perfectly for 'getting physical' and I'm thrilled that they are helping raise money and awareness for my ONJ Foundation Fund, a fund supporting pioneering research into plant medicine for cancer."

"At Crunch, we provide our members with more than just a fitness experience. We're a diverse community that seeks to encourage, empower, entertain to help others live a better life," said Jim Rowley, CEO Crunch Worldwide. "That's why we are thrilled to be partnering with Olivia and the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund (ONJFF) to help raise money for research to fight cancer. Unfortunately, there is a high probability that cancer will impact everyone at some point in their lives, either directly through a diagnosis or indirectly through a friend or loved one. My mother passed from cancer, so the importance of this partnership touches home for me."

"We at ThirdLove are thrilled to celebrate this important milestone with Olivia Newton-John alongside the launch of our activewear line," said Heidi Zak, Co-Founder and CEO of ThirdLove. "We are proud to harness the power of being active, having fun and getting physical all for a good cause." 

"In celebration of the 40^th anniversary of Olivia Newton-John's groundbreaking hit single 'Physical,' Primary Wave Music is honored to have put together this partnership with Olivia, Crunch Fitness and ThirdLove, which will not only celebrate her music but also support the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund," said Joshua Rothstein, Partnership Marketing Manager, Primary Wave.
