New Delhi, Feb 24:

Continuing with its strategy to reposition itself as a fitness brand, Reebok plans to open up to 15 new format stores Fitness Studios in India by the end of the next year.

In 2012, we decided to focus only on fitness and we have taken steps to reposition Reebok from a sports-gear to a fitness brand. Going forward, we are planning to open up to 15 new format Fitness Studios stores by the end of 2016, Reebok India Brand Director Somdeb Basu told PTI.

Apart from selling Reeboks merchandise, Fitness Studios also undertake classes in yoga, aerobics and other forms of workouts. At present, there is one Fitness Studio in the country in Mumbai.

In its image transformation bid, the company apart from launching new format retail stores has also changed its product assortments.

We have completely exited from selling sports merchandise like cricket bats etc. We have introduced products catering to fitness, he said.

The company, part of the Adidas Group, is also looking at converting all its existing stores into its new format Fit Hub stores by mid 2017.

Currently, there are 300 Reebok stores in India, out of which 130 are Fit Hub stores. We plan to convert all our existing stores in to Fit Hub format stores, Basu said.

Reebok Fit Hub stores offer fitness and training products besides advice, guidance and information on community-based fitness events.

Basu said that launching products targeted at women and giving such items more display in its stores have helped the company increase its revenue contribution from female customers from 15 per cent two years ago to over 30 per cent at present.

We're torn on how to feel about this.

That McDonald's "Pay with Lovin'" promotion didn't exactly roll out the way the chain probably hoped given that stories quickly emerged from customers who mostly just felt humiliated when asked to "pay" for their meals by doing things like dancing or calling their parents. Of course, Jim Gaffigan realized quickly that there was some fodder there for a nice little Twitter joke.

But where Gaffigan saw fear, McDonald's saw opportunity.

So despite the fact that the promotion officially ended on Valentine's Day, the comic, Dad Is Fat author, and junk-food connoisseur "paid" with exercise as part of his show at the University of Kentucky over the weekend. If anything, it was a great way for Gaffigan to get the crowd on his side, since it meant McDonald's handed out fries and McGriddles to the entire audience, which now may be the largest, or only, group of people yet to actually be happy about this promotion.

Normally, it would be disappointing to see a comic as beloved as Gaffigan side with a chain as reviled as McDonald's, but to be fair, he's not a fast-food apologist so much as he is a regretful consumer. "We know those commercials aren't realistic," he said in a nine-minute segment during his "Mr. Universe" tour. "I'd just like to see one commercial that showed people five minutes after that ate McDonald's Uuggh. Now I need a cigarette":
