National Fitness Partners (NFP), a leading Planet Fitness franchise division, today kicked off a fundraising campaign that will run from Feb. 1-29 to benefit the American Heart Association and their work to fight heart disease and stroke. This is the fourth year that National Fitness Partners has raised funds and awareness to support the American Heart Association during American Heart Month, with nearly $60,000 raised to date.

During the campaign, National Fitness Partners will encourage members to donate to the American Heart Association at each of their 140 Planet Fitness locations. In addition, National Fitness Partners’ members can participate in the campaign by tracking their mileage on designated treadmills at each location, and National Fitness Partners will donate 10 cents per mile with a

$100 cap per location.

“National Fitness Partners is proud to once again support the American Heart Association during American Heart Month in February,” said Stephen Kindler, Jr., President and CEO of National Fitness Partners. “The Heart Association’s efforts to fight heart disease and stroke aligns with our mission to transform the lives of our members and help improve the health and wellness of our communities. Together, we can help millions of Americans get healthier.”

The American Heart Association is the nation’s oldest and largest voluntary organization dedicated to fighting heart disease and stroke. As champions for health equity, by 2024, the American Heart Association will advance cardiovascular health for all, including identifying and removing barriers to health care access and quality.
