Globe University students enrolled in the school’s health fitness bachelor’s degree program will have the option of earning a certification from Life Time Academy as a Professional Fitness Trainer. Program classes will be taken at the St. Louis Park Life Time Fitness Facility and are equivalent to classes within the Life Time Academy certification.
“This partnership is a natural extension to the school’s already robust offerings in the field of health fitness where we offer multiple degrees,” said Globe’s chief communications officer, Jeff Myhre. “By partnering with Life Time Academy, our students will have even more options to expand their careers.”
Globe University’s partnership with Life Time Fitness is the model for how the school collaborates with businesses that are on the frontlines of their industries. The partnerships lead to initiatives that allow Globe students to work on real-world business challenges. Said Myhre, “These learning-by-doing opportunities give our students valuable career experiences with companies that could eventually hire them.”
Local and regional businesses are also members of Globe University’s program advisory committees. Business and community leaders work with the school to help develop career programs that lead to where the jobs are, now and in the future. “Connections with local leaders foster a strong sense of community and educational relevance,” summarized Myhre.
Life Time Fitness has been involved with Globe University’s health fitness specialist advisory committee for several years. That collaboration ensures Globe’s curriculum matches the needs of Life Time’s health clubs and better program experiences for students. Following graduation, many students have been hired by Life Time Fitness.
Jeff Rosga, director of Life Time Academy, said “The educational philosophies of Life Time Academy and Globe University are inherently the same with a common dedication and commitment to career education. Our organizations have the capacity to redefine quality training and educational programs to develop the next generation of top working professionals.”
Participating students study at the St. Louis Park location of the Life Time Academy—located inside a Life Time premier fitness setting—and have access to Life Time membership for lab instruction and application. Life Time Academy staff instructors who meet the Globe faculty requirements will be able to team with existing college faculty to produce an experience in student learning unparalleled in the field of exercise health and fitness sciences.

By Mark Lamport-Stokes AUGUSTA, Georgia, April 8 (Reuters) - Steve Stricker could certainly do with a bit of Masters payback after giving his good friend Tiger Woods a valuable putting lesson during last month's WGC-Cadillac Championship in Miami. Helped by Stricker's advice, Woods went on to triumph by two shots over his fellow American at Doral, then won the Arnold Palmer Invitational on his next start to cement his status as a hot favourite for this week's Masters at Augusta National. ...

"I like small penises," said no women interviewed for an actually scientific study released Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, or PNAS. Yes, PNAS is a funny sounding acronym, and, yes, PNAS has found that size does matter — and that women prefer "showers" to "growers."

The 61-year-old Crenshaw, whose career was built on his ability as a putter, mentored the precocious Chinese during their practice round, advising the Asia-Pacific Amateur champion about the notoriously fast, sloping greens of Augusta. ...
Do you think racists are all the same? You are wrong. Country star Brad Paisley announced to the world on Monday that he is an "Accidental Racist" in a song that has earned lots of criticism. Before we unpack how one can be accidental about their racism (and why that exucse the racism), perhaps, in a way, he's onto something. While racism is pretty much just racism there are so many different species of racists.
A long-lost gospel that casts Judas as a co-conspirator of Jesus, rather than a betrayer, was ruled most likely authentic in 2006. Now, scientists reveal they couldn't have made the call without a series of far more mundane documents, including Ancient Egyptian marriage licenses and property contracts.
