Athletic Events by Life Time

admin — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 19:45:32 +0000

Along with over 100 fitness centers nationwide, Life Time, The Healthy Way of Life Company, has upwards of 180 different athletic events ranging from family-friendly 5Ks to Olympic distance triathlons. The problem was that Life Time did not have a central online destination that would allow potential participants to easily search for events and showcase the full breadth of the event portfolio. The solution was to create a very simple event finder present near the top of every page that would allow immediate access to the an event a participant might be looking for. Secondarily, the main marketing space on the page was replaced with an image carousel showing off the scale and participation of all the events. Thirdly each event landing page displays a sortable grid of all the events in the upcoming race season.

The task of this project was to create a web presence that allowed both members and their trainers easy and immediate online access to their personal statistics. Secondarily, this gave members the ability to track their goals over time so they can see their improvement.

Supreme Court Justice Christopher Walken

admin — Tue, 24 May 2011 15:03:20 +0000

As told – and experienced – by my wife:

So Annie and I were at Tapes n Tapes at First Ave. Ruth Bader Ginsburg had had heart surgery that day and we were FLOORED when Josh Grier, the lead singer, was wearing a Ruth Bader Ginsburg t-shirt on stage. We were lukewarm about going to the show in the first place but instantly fell in love with the band after their heartfelt nod to the Supreme Court Justice. For the entire show we looked dreamy eyed at Josh who must listen to All Things Considered – JUST LIKE US.

There were these two idiot guys standing in front of us who kept talking about the awesome Christopher Walken t-shirt that Josh was wearing – OMG they were so dumb for not knowing Ruth Bader Ginsburg! Annie and I talked loudly (c’mon,we had had a couple of those huge Red Stripes) about how sad it was that people weren’t as smart as us and how much we hoped for Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s quick recovery. Josh became sexier as the night wore on as we fantasized about him getting ready on the tour bus – how his favorite quirky t-shirt finally made sense.

When the house lights came on and the band waved their goodbyes, Annie and I looked at each other and said, “that is a cool Christopher Walken t-shirt”.
