Echelon Announces Multi-Year Collaboration with the American Heart Association

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Feb. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Echelon, the connected fitness company revolutionizing the way people move, is announcing a multi-year collaboration with the American Heart Association to help educate its community on the importance of exercise and heart health.

Echelon is committed to donating $50K over the next two years to the American Heart Association through a direct contribution from the company. In addition, Echelon will donate additional contributions received through Echelon employees, the Echelon community, and an external round up campaign. The work together will focus on helping members understand heart health, the heart benefits of exercise and cardio and how they can incorporate heart healthy activities easily into their day (and homes).

To kick-off the collaboration, and in support of American Heart Month, Echelon will offer a unique class and content-filled agenda on February 16, 2022. The company will be joined by American Heart Association Vice President of Corporate Engagement, Jamie Johnson, live from the Chattanooga studio.

The day will comprise:

• All day long healthy heart classes on the connected equipment include, cycling, rowing, running, walking, stretching, yoga, HIIT and more.
• Classes filled with education on heart health.
• Advice and information from American Heart Association's Jamie Johnson about taking care of your heart through exercise.

"Echelon is committed to raising awareness about the importance of heart health, helping our community maintain a good exercise routine, and helping members to live their healthiest life," said Lou Lentine, CEO of Echelon. "Our members deserve the best from us in all areas of innovative technology, cutting edge products and amazing class content. By supporting an organization as equipped as the American Heart Association, we can take a few steps forward towards shedding light on heart disease prevention while getting fit together."

The American Heart Association recommends a minimum of 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (or 75 minutes per week of vigorous aerobic activity) spread throughout the week. Moderate to vigorous aerobic exercise is recommended as best in order for the heart to beat faster.
