F or the first year, a Planet Fitness® in Logan, Utah, teamed up with over 40 local area businesses to promote fitness within its community. Local business Nutrishop hosted its third annual Healthy Fitness Transformation, which is directed toward both weight-loss and muscle-gaining goals, and PF® got in on the action. Dorothy Grigg, the club manager for the Planet Fitness Intermountain, LLC location, originally approached Nutrishop about setting up a booth to help promote fitness and bring more enthusiasm and a little spice to the club. “When we talked about it, they mentioned they were going to be doing this transformation and asked if I would be interested in donating some prizes for contestants that complete the trans- formation,” said Grigg. “I jumped on the opportunity to help the community find a place to begin or continue their transformation.” The competition ran from Jan. 7-April 1, and encouraged participants to achieve their goals. Nutrishop provided participants with free meal plans, samples of their various supplements, free fitness coaching and free body analysis at the various weigh-ins throughout the contest. The free competition was open to individuals of all fitness levels and features divisions for both men and women in various age groups.

Over $1,000 in prizes was donated, and the winners of each division received $100 and a slew of goodies, in addition to a one-month Planet Fitness membership. Last year roughly 250 Logan residents participated in the Healthy Fitness Transformation – a number which was expected to balloon to around 300 this year. Grigg notes that, along with herself, several other employees and members at the PF club entered the competition.
