Helping Kids, Changing Your Life!

Anchorage, AK-   On Thursday, January 19, 2012 three leading Anchorage health,
fitness and personal-care professionals will reveal the secrets of how you will,
“Make 2012 Your Healthiest and Best Year Ever,” at a community awareness and
fundraising event for Hospice of Anchorage’s Camp Erin.

“The purpose of this event is to kick-off 2012 by teaching Anchorage residents
proven strategies for achieving their New Year’s Resolutions for health and
fitness and raising money for a great charity that I just love,” explains AlaskaFit
owner and best-selling author, Ginny Grupp.

“Most people set health and fitness goals for the New Year, jump in with both feet
and drown in a matter of days, never coming close to reaching their health and
fitness goals.   At this show, we will reveal how anyone with the desire can make
2012 the year they finally get it together and achieve their weight-loss and fitness
goals,” says Grupp.  “The line-up of health, fitness, nutrition and stress-
management experts I’ve assembled is formidable.  We’re all very confident we
can have a real impact on the health of our community – and raise money for a
great cause at the same time.  We intentionally chose the name of the event
because of its big promise.  Anchorage residents have supported our businesses
over the years, and now we want to give back by showing them how to make 2012
their best year yet,” explains Grupp.

Linnea Cummings of Alaska Dinner Factory and Theresa Bovey, of Trinion Quality
Care Services will also share their secrets  to easy meal prep and balancing your life.

The “Make 2012 Your Healthiest and Best Year Ever” show and fundraising event for
Camp Erin will begin at 7 p.m. at AlaskaFit’s new location at 6251 Tuttle Place,
Suite 102.  All Anchorage residents over 15 years of age are invited. There is no
cost to attend other than a small $10 donation to Camp Erin at the door.

Additional information about the event is available at www.YourBestYearAK.com.

Judy had some amazing results is just 6 weeks:

Pounds lost: 12
Inches lost: 16
Body fat percent change: 3.2%

Judy came to us feeling “fat and weak.”  She had lost direction in her life.  She was eating at restaurants (mostly fast food) and not exercising at all.  In the 6 weeks she spent with us, she started eating at home and attending boot camp regularly.  Even with the improvements she was making, she still felt like she was holding the entire group back because she was “the weakest link.” She was continually inspired by the achievements of the other women in the group and was completely shocked when I announced her as the winner of the contest! She is back in control of her life and the changes she made in the past 6 weeks are long-term ones that she can be proud of.

Watch Judy’s winning moment below.

We crown the winner of Your Best Body Contest for October 2011!!

The grand prize winner gets over $2,500 in prizes.

We will be giving away over $3,500 in prizes all together.

Join us at the YMCA board room tonight at 6pm to find out who wins!

Our next FREE fundraising workout is on Thanksgiving morning at 8am at O’Malley Sports Center.  I look forward to seeing you there!

 BEATING HUNGER, BUILDING BODIES

Donate to The Children’s Lunchbox and receive a free  “boot camp” workout from AlaskaFit
(This Saturday Only)

 Anchorage, Alaska—Join AlaskaFit this Saturday, Oct. 29, 2011, in support of The Children’s Lunchbox, a non-profit program operated by Bean’s Café. AlaskaFit, Anchorage’s premiere fitness and wellness company, is offering a free “boot camp” workout with a suggested donation of $20 to the food program which feeds countless elementary-age students in Anchorage.

“We all wait for the holidays to be thankful and to donate to food drives and food banks, but kids are hungry year round,” says Ginny Grupp, owner of AlaskaFit. “The Children’s Lunchbox does a great job and I’m proud to be able to support the program.”

A highly successful program, The Children’s Lunchbox feeds children in Anchorage who are living in poverty or in homes where drugs, alcohol, gambling and other addictions place the children at risk of going hungry. The Children’s Lunchbox works with community youth organizations and schools to identify children in need, and to provide hot meals, snacks, and food that may be prepared at home. Donations to The Children’s Lunchbox may be tax deductible (please consult your tax advisor).

“Halloween traditionally kicks off the ‘feasting season’” Grupp says. “Between now and New Year’s Day, the average American packs on 10-20 pounds. “Instead of buying mountains of Halloween candy, help provide nutritious meals to Anchorage’s most needy children and enjoy a fantastic, fun workout with Alaska’s premier fitness organization.”

All ages, body types, and fitness levels are welcome to the “Beat the Treats” workout on Saturday, Oct. 29, in support of The Children’s Lunchbox.

AlaskaFit’s “Beat the Treats” workout will be held between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. at  O’Malley Sports Complex, located at 11111 O’Malley Centre Drive, near the corner of O’Malley and the Old Seward Highway. Please register in advance at www.alaskafit.com to ensure your place at the workout.

This is the third year that Alaska Fit has hosted a program to benefit a community program.
