The Lifestyle Family Fitness "Free Teen Summer Membership" program concluded on a high note with even more teens hitting up the gym to concentrate on their fitness. Overall, nearly 6,000 teens took advantage of the opportunity to work out in any Lifestyle Family Fitness location for two months free throughout the summer.

Among those teens taking part in the program are 24 members of the SCUBAnauts International, a non-profit group that provides 12-18 year olds with learning experiences through ocean science research and space exploration. The kids are preparing for Operation DEEP CLIMB, a Hawaiian adventure that will submerse them 6,000 feet below sea level to explore sea geology and ecosystems. From there, they will climb the highest point in the state of Hawaii, Mauna Kea Mountain.

 To prepare for this physical endeavor, the teens will spend two months working out at Lifestyle Family Fitness locations throughout the Tampa Bay area. In addition, Lifestyle Family Fitness certified personal trainer Yuri Yoshio Hayashi has volunteered to prepare a training program for the kids. The training program will consist of strength training with high repetition and low weight along with a cardio workout including walking two to three miles with weight packs.

 "Lifestyle Family Fitness is excited that the "Free Teen Summer Membership" program has given these 24 teenagers an opportunity to prepare for their upcoming expedition," said Geoff Dyer, Lifestyle Family Fitness CEO. "By taking advantage of the two-month free membership offered at Lifestyle Family Fitness, these teenagers will be physically equipped for adventure when they head to Hawaii to climb the Mauna Kea Mountain."

"Being able to workout at Lifestyle Family Fitness, I know I will be prepared for my hike in October," said Mack Bunbury, 15-year-old SCUBAnaut member. "Our workouts are tough on us, but I know it will be worth it when we are physically ready for adventure in Hawaii."

 Lifestyle Family Fitness launched its second "Free Teen Summer Membership" program at all 45 Lifestyle Family Fitness locations throughout Florida, Ohio and North Carolina. The company opened its doors beginning May 1st, for all teenagers (ages 12 to 17) by offering a free two-month membership. The program ended August 15th, 2007.
