CHANHASSEN, Minn., Jan. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on the successful partnership that launched in 2018, Life Time (NYSE: LTH) and HOKA, a division of Deckers Brands (NYSE: DECK), announced plans for an extended and expanded multi-year relationship that will continue to inspire people of all ages to find joy in movement wherever they choose to be active.
"It's been phenomenal to hear how HOKA has impacted the performance of our members, coaches and trainers, and to see the success of this multi-faceted strategic partnership as we grow both of our brands," said Kimo Seymour, President, Life Time Events. "We have created an incredible synergy between Life Time and HOKA, and it's one we are very excited to continue as we collectively promote a healthy way of life and provide tools to help people achieve their wellness goals and aspirations."
The expanded agreement includes HOKA as an official sponsor of the upcoming Miami Marathon featuring a large buildout at the Marathon Expo and on the race course with their "Fly Human Fly" activation, encouraging and inspiring race participants as they head toward the finish line. Additionally, Life Time recently launched a new video series, Reveal Your Potential, highlighting individuals who've made Life Time and HOKA a part of their healthy and happy lives, and reminding people that each day provides an opportunity to redefine what's possible. The series is being shared in Life Time clubs, online, socially, in print and through other marketing tactics.
Inside Life Time's portfolio of more than 170 athletic country clubs, HOKA is the official sponsor of select Life Time group classes and signature group training programs, including GTX, MB360 and Ultra Fit; and Dynamic Personal Training (DPT). HOKA will also sponsor Life Time's annual cardio party with classes and social hour components hosted at Life Time destinations.
HOKA continues to play a critical role at other iconic Life Time athletic events including as presenting sponsor and official running shoe of the Chicago Half Marathon. During each event, HOKA will motivate runners on the race course to the finish line through their "Fly Human Fly" activations, as well as on-site presence and product activation at the event expos.
Finally, HOKA will host pop-up shops and experiences for members and non-members at select Life Time clubs and other athletic events across the country throughout the year.
