SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 29, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- LTM | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- RMG Networks, operator of the largest digital health club media network in the U.S., announced today a broad series of partnerships that firmly establishes the company as the elite provider of premium media in health clubs nationwide. Agreements with two of the nation's premier athletic clubs, LIFE TIME FITNESS and Western Athletic Clubs, will significantly increase the audience delivered through RMG's Health & Fitness network to more than 10 million monthly digital viewers. Additionally, the company revealed a partnership with NetPulse, the leading provider of personal entertainment systems on cardio machines, which positions RMG to capitalize on the digital evolution of health club media.

RMG's new partners consist of some of the largest players in the fitness industry. LIFE TIME FITNESS - which also owns and manages its own in-club television network, Life Time Vision - has premium club facilities across 24 markets with an average attendance per club of more than 50,000 monthly. Western Athletic Clubs, which operates the exclusive Bay Club chain in addition to several others throughout the Western United States, is one of the finest and most awarded health club companies in the U.S. RMG's Health & Fitness network will now reach a daily audience of more than 300,000 light-TV viewing fitness enthusiasts, more than eight times the size of the New York City Marathon.

"We are excited about our new strategic partnerships with LIFE TIME FITNESS, Western Athletic Clubs and NetPulse," said Garry McGuire, RMG's CEO. "Adding these premium partners to our network solidifies RMG's position as the largest digital health club media network in the country and allows us to continue delivering the targeted audiences advertisers are most interested in, at scale."

RMG's Health & Fitness network delivers the most requested TV networks by health club users, such as CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and E!, to an audience of light-TV viewing gym-goers (a group that watches 2 fewer hours of TV per day than the average American) at one of the few points in their day when they are deeply engaged with a TV screen. RMG's partnership with NetPulse will leverage NetPulse's digital content delivery to add more granular targeting capabilities to the network.

"Having done several custom research studies over the past two years on RMG's Health & Fitness network, there is no question that this network represents a very compelling and engaged audience for advertisers," said Paul Lindstrom, SVP at The Nielsen Company. "The addition of NetPulse's platform to the network only extends the ways in which advertisers will be able to connect with this affluent, captive audience."

"We're excited by these developments at RMG because it gives us better access to, and more of, an audience that is highly desirable but very hard to reach," said Jill Nickerson, VP Director of OOH at Horizon. "The new size and capabilities of this partnership makes this an optimal way of reaching and engaging people when they are working out."
