What a great and unique experience to design an entire television network from scratch… that is essentially what our team was challenged with in December, once elements made the decision to launch our “elements living television” network in mid-2009.

So, how do you go about creating a TV network? First, it begins with developing a concept. In our case, we are intent on creating an entertainment experience within our health clubs… a reflection and an extension of the “living” elements brand. The idea for the network began several years ago, after several of our staffers were speaking about how boring the music was in their (non-elements!) gyms. Of course, as our brand continues to grow worldwide, we are always looking for ways to better communicate with members and prospects, and to deliver the message of wellness. Although it seemed like a daunting prospect, a network delivered via web, would allow us to create a uniquely branded experience for each and every elements member, worldwide. After doing research into the feasibility, we quickly realized that we could find major national brands such as Nike and Estee Lauder to underwrite many of the ongoing production costs (keeping the content and music fresh was a major initial concern, making it cost effective for our franchisees was the other). After many months of explorative work, a production partner was selected, and the foundation for the soon-to-be launched “elements living tv” was laid.

The network, debuting this spring, will include well selected music videos, clips and segments from our Fitness Advisory Board, healthy lifestyle tips, and motivational messages – The multi-channel network is slated to include music videos (on seven uniquely created playlist stations. Creating the music selections turned out to be a full time project onto itself… how do you properly represent the musical tastes of an diverse audience of women nationwide? The solution was to hire a music engineer as well as develop a system allowing local elements clubs to customize the music according to the time of day, day of week, and the preference of members… allowing a fully customizable platform within the network! Look for a special sneak peek of the music station coming very soon….

Today we launched the Fall Issue of elements living, our online magazine and media channel. We chose the theme “Live Fabulously” well before the economic woes had hit the US, however the editorial team decided to keep the theme, which developed a second meaning during the current market…. “Live Fabulously” became our way of telling our readers that they can still indulge themselves and enjoy a great quality of life, irrespective of financial condition. Health, energy, enjoying a nice meal, a decadent treat, a weekend escape… all are part of a quality of life, happiness, and a balance which is much deserved.

Long after the short term economic troubles have past, we will still have the smiles and memories from enjoying moments each day. Happy Reading!

Summer magazine screen freeze

We were happy yesterday to celebrate a milestone… the one year anniversary of elements living magazine and media channel. elements is the only fitness brand to offer such an in-depth portal, which is a cornerstone to our “balanced, healthy lifestyle” philosophy. We encourage all members to live a great, balanced life – the magazine allows us to deliver great content, and also be a credible source for a host of lifestyle content – food, wines, travel, parenting, fitness, gifts, stress, and more!

We have grown the pilot program to include a full time creative staff, and 3 very popular syndicated articles (Ask Dr Fab, Q&A with the Nutrtion Twins, and “elements of a healthy lovelife,” our relationship column).

The syndication of our Fitness personalities has really helped to spread the reach and optimization of elements… the magazine is currently distributed to over 3 million readers, with a goal to double that figure by year’s end.

elements living magazine is provided free of charge, and is a great way for consumers to get in contact with the elements brand. Its a great follow up gift for a prospect who has recently toured a club, and a nice way for franchisees to expand the reach and depth of their offerings locally. I am very pleased with the progress of this aspect of the elements brand…. more experts, a video channel, and a few very big surprises are planned – so stay tuned!
