OKTA Holdings Laces Up to Celebrate Member’s Running Achievements  

Planet Fitness® is constantly changing people’s lives for the better by helping members lead healthier lives. At the age of 42, an economics professor at Linfield University, Randy Grant, decided to embark on a transformative health journey by joining OKTA Holdings’ club in McMinnville, Oregon. He has since lost over 80 pounds. Not only that, but he became a runner and completed marathons in every U.S. state.

To celebrate this amazing achievement, OKTA Holdings, which has 13 clubs in Vancouver, Washington, and Oregon, worked on a sponsorship project with the “Race to Space” in McMinnville in May. Grant will be joining the start line of the race alongside other runners. This race is a cherished tradition in the town, and the franchise group is excited to be a part of it. The franchise group is designing custom running shirts for the race participants and will provide all the race volunteers with custom T-shirts. OKTA Holdings is also hard at work curating a selection of unique swag items to make the race day even more memorable for everyone.

This summer, Grant is running a 1,000-mile race along the coast of England called Run Britannia, a challenging feat across multiple days and multiple countries.

He attributes his fitness transformation to Planet Fitness. “Planet Fitness has made a world of difference to my running adventures. Hours on the stair stepper strengthen my cardio and hill climbing. The 30-minute workout helps with the supporting systems. I’ve visited over a dozen Planet Fitness locations around the country while running a marathon in every state. They’ve been a great place for a post-race shower and massage, or a light workout when the weather is nasty,” said Grant.
