DES MOINES, Iowa, Dec. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

WHAT:
Life Time Fitness Des Moines is set to open its doors to the public Dec. 30 to Jan. 2 to encourage residents to kick-off 2017 with a New Year's commitment to their health. During each of the four days, Life Time destinations will feature a variety of health and fitness experiences and activities for all ages.

The weekend will highlight unique-to-Life Time group fitness, indoor cycle and yoga classes such as Strike, Amp Cycle and Warrior Sculpt, as well as Alpha Training. Life Time's indoor aquatic centers, basketball courts, rock walls and tennis, racquetball and squash courts will all be open with club-specific programming to help men, women and kids make their commitment even easier by doing activities they love or trying new things that will inspire them in the coming year.

On Jan. 1, Life Time will host the fifth annual Commitment Day 5K Fun Run and Walk at 10 a.m., and the motivation will continue on Sunday, Jan. 8 with the Life Time Indoor Triathlon. Participants will complete a 10-minute indoor pool swim, a 30-minute bike ride in a cycle studio, and a 20-minute run on a treadmill. 

WHY:
While Jan.1 is the traditional day millions announce their New Year's Resolutions, research from the University of Scranton shows only 8 percent of Americans achieve success. For the fifth year, Life Time, is aiming to help people rethink resolutions and instead make a true, internal commitment to themselves to live a healthy way of life by jump-starting 2017 with healthy activities all weekend long.
