A national gym chain is launching a summer program that will provide discounted memberships to high school students over the summer in hopes of keeping teens active, connected and healthy while school is out.
24 Hour Fitness is rolling out the new summer program from June 1 through August 3, providing full access to all participating gyms at a steep discount.
The offer is open to students aged 14 to 18, with the requirement that a parent or guardian is a current 24 Hour Fitness member. Sign-ups begin May 15 and can be completed online or in person at any club.
“Summer is a time when many teens lose access to physical activity and social engagement,” said Raphael Konforti, senior director of fitness business and operations at 24 Hour Fitness. “By making our clubs accessible to high school students this summer, we’re offering a space where they can feel strong, supported, and inspired every day.”
Membership includes access to cardio and strength equipment, free weights, group fitness classes, recovery programs, and the company’s 24GO app, which provides thousands of guided workouts.
“We’re not just offering a membership. We’re offering a space where teens can feel strong, supported, and inspired,” said Raphael Konforti, Senior Director of Fitness Business.
The new program aims to encourage teens to maintain fitness and wellness and buck an alarming trend that shows young generations are becoming less active year after year.
“According to the World Health Organization, 81% of teens worldwide aren’t meeting basic activity guidelines,” officials for the gym chain said. “This program provides unlimited access to state-of-the-art facilities, recovery zones, group classes, and digital workouts, all in a safe, inclusive environment.”
