Super Age Collaborates with World of Hyatt to Champion Longevity and Welcome Athletes to Hyatt Regency Times Square
*
Travel can be a powerful catalyst for wellbeing, and World of Hyatt is committed to helping our members find meaningful ways to care for themselves wherever their journeys take them," said TJ Abrams, Vice President Global Partnerships and Wellbeing, Hyatt. "Through FIND and our collaboration with the Super Age Games, we are expanding accessto experiences that inspire movement, mindfulness and connection, both on the road and at home.
NEW YORK, NY (October 30, 2026) -- Super Age, the longevity media company, today announced a collaboration between World of Hyatt, Hyatt's loyalty program, and the Super Age Games, a live longevity fitness competition testing the eight markers of healthspan. The collaboration brings Hyatt's hospitality together with Super Age's science-backed longevity fitness training platform, The Super Age Standard, to help travelers stay on track before, during, and after their trip to the Games.
The collaboration will include:
* A streamlined Games booking process, using World of Hyatt FIND experiences platform
* Discounted room blocks reserved for Games Athletes at Hyatt Regency Times Square
* A set of travel wellness protocols in the Super Age Standard, Super Age's longevity fitness training app and the official training platform of the Super Age Games.
"The Games were always about more than a single day at the Armory. It's the whole arc of getting there, competing, and going home. Hyatt gets that," says Super Age Founder David Harry Stewart. "With a travel protocol built into The Super Age Standard, your training doesn't stop when you leave home. Members can book the experience on World of Hyatt FIND with points or cash, and Hyatt Regency Times Square gives participants a home base for the weekend."
The Super Age Games: An Event Worth Traveling For
The Super Age Games is the world's first whole-human longevity fitness competition. The single-day event was designed in partnership with experts from The Buck Institute for Research on Aging to test eight trainable longevity markers: grip strength, aerobic capacity, agility, balance, functional strength, and endurance under load, plus two trials that most fitness events skip entirely--working memory under physical stress, and your relational capacity in real time.
The Games draw a genuinely global field. This year's competitors, ranging in age from 21 to 81, are traveling from 14 countries and 40 states and competing across more than 100 teams. It underscores that the drive to train for longevity has no single age or zip code--and that travel will be part of many Founding Athletes' Games Day stories.
The Super Age Games will take place on November 7, 2026 at the Armory Track in New York City.
Plan the Games Experience with World of Hyatt FIND and Hyatt Regency Times Square
With a single click, World of Hyatt members can book tickets to Super Age Games directly through the World of Hyatt FIND Experiences platform using World of Hyatt points by visiting here. The listing combines event access with Hyatt's booking tools, making it easier for members to plan travel around the competition.
Located in heart of New York, Hyatt Regency Times Square is expected to serve as a natural home base for many Games attendees, offering convenient access to the competition and positioning Hyatt at the center of this first-of-its-kind event.
"Travel can be a powerful catalyst for wellbeing, and World of Hyatt is committed to helping our members find meaningful ways to care for themselves wherever their journeys take them," said TJ Abrams, Vice President Global Partnerships and Wellbeing, Hyatt. "Through FIND and our collaboration with the Super Age Games, we are expanding access to experiences that inspire movement, mindfulness and connection, both on the road and at home."
Super Age Launches Travel Wellness Collection with World of Hyatt for Game Participants
Travelers attending the Super Age Games can now digitally access a set of wellness protocols designed to help them maintain their strength, recovery and sleep routines while on the road. Developed by World of Hyatt and Super Age, the collection is built into The Super Age Standard, Super Age's longevity fitness training app and the official training platform of the Super Age Games. While the collection launches alongside the Games, it's designed for anyone who cares about training for longevity, whether they're traveling to compete, for work or for fun.
The collection helps travelers stay on track before, during and after competition with four practical protocols:
* The Arrival Reset: A recovery-focused sequence for the first hours after landing
* The 4x2 Strength Session: A compact strength workout designed for hotel gyms
* The Midday Reset: A short recovery break to use between meetings or event sessions
* The Sleep Hygiene Guide for Travel: Guidance for protecting sleep across time zones
The collection is available now in the Super Age Standard. Whether athletes are settling into Hyatt Regency Times Square ahead of the Games or travelers are checking in anywhere else in the world, the collection reflects a shared belief between Hyatt and Super Age that travel shouldn't interrupt the habits that help people live well longer.
The term "Hyatt" is used in this release for convenience to refer to Hyatt Hotels Corporation and/or one or more of its affiliates.

iHeartRadio Introduces "Lite Mode": A Simple, Fast Way For Users to Toggle Between Full-Function Mode and "Just Essential" Content
New functionality enables listeners to switch modes depending on their usage and needs at any given time
-
New York, NY -- October 29, 2026 -- iHeartRadio today announced the launch of "Lite Mode," a new product feature for the iHeartRadio app designed to give users the ability to simply and quickly toggle back and forth between full-function mode and the 'just essentials' LiteMode depending on their usage and needs at any time.
The Lite Mode toggle is located at the top of the homepage of the iHeartRadio mobile app. Available on both iOS and Android, Lite Mode offers a clean and intuitive interface that keeps users locked into their listening experience while enabling quick, seamless navigation between Presets, Recently Played, and Local Radio -- without ever leaving the screen.
"Radio is uniquely personal -- it's about companionship. Our listeners sometimes want to browse and discover, and at other times they simply want to go directly to what they're looking for. This new ability to toggle between full functionality and Lite Mode, which has just the essentials, gives them the opportunity to make every experience the right one for them," said Conal Byrne, CEO of the iHeartMedia Digital Audio Group.
"We know that listeners have enormous loyalty to their favorite radio stations and personalities: The average radio listener listens to 2-3 radio stations in a month vs. watching 40 TV channels in a month," said Tom Poleman, iHeartMedia Chief Programming Officer. "Lite Mode serves a real purpose when listeners are trying to quickly get to the shows and personalities they're passionate about and aren't looking to browse the entire service. We know that people use the iHeartRadio service at different times for different reasons, and the ability to seamlessly switch between those two functionalities serves that need."
Key features of Lite Mode:
1. Focused Now Playing Experience - A simplified interface centered on the content currently playing
2. Quick Access Navigation - Easily switch between Presets, Recently Played, and Local Radio without changing screens
3. One-Tap Activation - Toggle Lite Mode on or off instantly from the top of the app
4. Designed for Speed & Clarity - Streamlined design for faster, more intuitive listening
