Individuals Choosing Unhealthy Lifestyles May Soon Pay Heftier Price for Health Care Benefits

Allina Hospitals & Clinics and Life Time Fitness to launch groundbreaking partnership aimed at advancing preventative health and wellness initiatives and awareness

Life Time Fitness (NYSE: LTM):

            Companies looking to impact the rise in health benefits costs
            increasingly are offering incentives for employees to adopt and
            maintain healthy habits. Those ignoring the incentives soon may find
            themselves paying more for the same coverage. Life Time Fitness,
            Inc. (NYSE: LTM) Chairman, President, CEO and Founder, Bahram
            Akradi, will join Allina Hospitals & Clinics CEO and COO, Ken
WHAT:       Paulus, to discuss this trend and the organizations' collaborative
            effort to advance preventative health and wellness initiatives and
            awareness. Through the partnership, Allina plans to introduce Life
            Time's comprehensive health and wellness assessment, and health
            promotion program, myHealthCheck, to its employees. Additionally, in
            response to the nation's challenge of reducing health care costs,
            the organizations aim to positively impact serious, yet
            controllable, health factors that greatly contribute to those costs.
