 Life Fitness, the global leader in commercial fitness equipment, announced today the extension of its partnership with Williams Racing. 

October 27, 2021 - Now in its sixth year, the partnership will see the continuation of Life Fitness as Official Fitness Equipment Supplier to the British-based  Formula One team for the next five years. 

As part of the extended agreement, the gym onsite at the Williams headquarters will be refurbished with the latest equipment from the Life Fitness Family of Brands, which includes Life Fitness, Hammer Strength, Cybex and ICG®. The training facility will be used by Williams’ staff, including the team’s drivers George Russell and Nicholas Latifi, when onsite at the team’s base in Oxfordshire, UK.  

The upgraded facility will also become the fourth Life Fitness Experience Hub, joining sites in Chicago, Barcelona, and Hong Kong as part of the equipment manufacturer’s dedication to creating a benchmark in innovation in the world of fitness. Each Experience Hub is uniquely designed to showcase the future of equipment, digital connectivity, and fitness experiences, with visitors invited to learn more about industry trends and solutions onsite at Williams HQ.

In addition, Williams Racing will continue to work with Life Fitness on their ‘Run the Race track’ initiative both trackside or wherever people are in the world.
