Life Time Athletic Atlanta Cycle Competition

Life Time Fitness organizes an annual cycle competition every October to promote the cycle classes offered at all of their locations across the country. The mission of Life Time Fitness is to provide an uncompromising quality experience that is entertaining, educational, friendly, inviting, functional, and innovative and caters to the health and fitness needs of everyone in the family. In a similar vein, my friends and I have a friendly competition every October to determine who can attend the most cycle classes at our LifeTime Athletic Atlanta location.

Cycle Competition Winners at Life Time Athletic Atlanta

Kendra Whittemore, Dave Bittenbender, and I were the top three members at Life Time Athletic Atlanta with the most cycle classes between us. We completed a total of 199 rides, which is equivalent to an impressive 3,980 miles. To put it into perspective, the distance from Atlanta to Anchorage Alaska is just over 4,000 miles. This was a typical month for Dave, who is always focused on health and fitness as he is a USA Dragon Boat champion and a current competitor in competitions worldwide. Kendra and I squeezed in as many classes as we could around our work and family schedules.

This year, Lifetime partnered with Sandals Resorts for a cycle competition which was a great incentive for us to push ourselves to the limit. At the end of the month, I completed 81 classes, Kendra was a close second with 71 classes, and David with 47 classes. Kendra deserves a special mention for taking five classes in one day, whereas my limit was four.
