Workout Anytime — a premium 24/7 fitness franchise with over 190 locations across the United States — has celebrated the ongoing success of its partnership with the Nashville Predators. This collaboration essentially combines fitness and hockey fandom through interactive promotions, digital engagement, and in-club activations managed at the corporate level while involving local franchisees in the region.
The program features a Shoot the Puck contest where fans can enter for a chance to take a shot on the ice during a Predators home game, with a successful shot earning a $20,000 prize. Entries are collected through digital advertisements, social media, and materials within the gyms themselves. Additionally, consumers receive a promotional code for discounted memberships each time the Predators secure a win, directly linking the team's performance to tangible fitness incentives.
