Anytime Fitness[1] Inc. hired celebrity tattoo artist Jimmy Hayden[2] to permanently ink the company's "Running Man" logo on roughly 200 franchisees, corporate employees, club managers and personal trainers during its recent annual conference in Amelia Island, Fla.
Hayden's high-profile clientele includes NBA stars LeBron James[3] and Shaquille O'Neal[4] . And he is an Anytime Fitness member.
The tattoos have become a tradition for the Hastings-based fitness chain[5] in recent years. The company estimates that more than 1,200 people around the world now have one, including Anytime Fitness CEO Chuck Runyon[6] and about 500 club members.
