Echelon Fitness Thrilled to Partner with Jeff Galloway
Global fitness leader, for the first time, is bringing The Galloway Method Launch featuring Run Walk Run® to Echelon’s App for Members
CHATTANOOGA, TN (September 5, 2024) – Echelon, a global fitness, wellness and sports leader, is excited to announce our partnership with Jeff Galloway, U.S. Olympic team member, author, businessman, inspirational speaker and official training expert. For the first time, we are bringing the Run Walk Run® Method to a connected fitness platform, and Echelon’s Stride Treadmill is the perfect fit.
“In 2017, Echelon Fitness was founded to address an unmet, rising market-need – smart fitness, available across all price points, to consumers looking for a technology-driven omnichannel solution, community, accessibility and convenience. Our investment proved correct as we have soared to become a leading player in the global fitness industry,” said Lou Lentine, CEO Echelon Fitness. “As part of our commitment to our Members, we aim to provide unparalleled content, experiences and exclusive fitness opportunities throughout each year.”
Launching September 5, 2024, the Magic Mile will be a helpful assessment tool that provides runners with insights on their current capabilities, as well as predicted paces for upcoming races of varying distances. Runners can use this tool regularly throughout their training plans to measure progress.
APP Content includes:
- Welcome from Jeff
- Magic Mile Warm Up
- Cadence Drill
- Acceleration Glider Drill
- Magic Mile Test
"It's been a goal of mine to partner with a leading home fitness company and introduce its members to my world of Run Walk Run. My desire is to help train the novice runner and those who enjoy the thrill of running competitively. As a US Olympian who has trained thousands over the years, partnering with Echelon Fitness to bring this goal to life has been a true highlight in my career. Together, we will introduce a new audience to the benefits of training and the joy of running, and lead the fitness industry as the first to bring this outside training method inside the comfort of members' homes," said Jeff Galloway.
