| GLOBALFIT EXPANDS INTO CANADA
PHILADELPHIA, PA — (December 5, 2008) — What’s in a name? For GlobalFit, it’s been a promise, one that’s being fulfilled. A well–established provider of healthy living benefits in the U.S., GlobalFit now offers its first international membership options. Starting today, GlobalFit’s full range of affordable programs, products and services are available to the Canadian employees and members of GlobalFit’s existing clients, the company announced. “Our mission is to create a healthier world through benefits for healthy living” said GlobalFit President and CEO, Frank Napolitano, “so this is a significant step forward for us.” The company was founded in 1992 serving only the Greater Philadelphia region. “Our growth has mirrored — and, it’s fair to say, encouraged — a sea of change in public perceptions of health and wellness,” Napolitano reflected; “The time is right for us to take our message global.” GlobalFit’s signature offering has been affordable rates on fitness center memberships. For their Canadian expansion, GlobalFit turned to GoodLife Fitness, the largest group of fitness clubs in Canada with 157 facilities from British Columbia to Newfoundland. For founder and CEO David Patchell–Evans, the new partnership suits GoodLife to a tee. “At GoodLife, we focus on caring,” said Patchell–Evans, who also authored the bestselling “Living the Good Life.” “We show we care through exceptional customer service and our passion for healthy living,” he explained; “GlobalFit shares these values, and we welcome the opportunity to have them extend our marketing outreach in the corporate community.” Phase one of the expansion provides access to GoodLife’s 130 Ontario locations. GlobalFit–eligible Canadians can also access the benefit provider’s savings on home cardiovascular equipment. About GlobalFit: GlobalFit is a leading provider of benefits for healthy living. Readily accessible through employers and insurers, GlobalFit's broad selection of programs, products and services have been expressly designed to create a healthier world. Since 1992, GlobalFit's signature offering has been its gym network, the largest of its kind. The network now includes thousands of respected fitness centers, from well–known chains to independent facilities, in the U.S. and Canada. GlobalFit's latest corporate program, Destination: You, breaks new ground by combining step–based activity –– effortlessly verifiable through cutting–edge technology –– with education, community support and incentives to motivate large populations.
