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. 27, 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 2nd annual “Beat the Treats” workout on Saturday, Oct. 27, in support of The Children’s Lunchbox.

Your Best Body Challenge October 2011 Winners!
Congratulations Judy Turner, our Grand Prize Winner.
She won over $2,500 in prizes:
6 months of AlaskaFit Boot Camp ($1.314)
(3) 90-minute massages from Karie Tieszen, LMT ($285)
$200 gift certificate to Blush Boutique
$500 studio credit from LaVie Imagery
$100 gift certificate from Pure Skin Care Boutique
$100 gift certificate from Acai Alaska
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.

Thank you to everyone who came our for our Halloween “Beat the Treats” workout on Saturday morning. Together, we raised $604 for The Children’s Lunch Box program of Bean’s Cafe! I am thrilled to be able to support this program. It was early on a Saturday morning, but we had about 30 people come down and what a great time we had! Ken Miller from Bean’s Cafe stopped in to say a few words and to thank everyone for participating.
Check out our pics from the event!
