In-Shape Health Clubs Celebrates American Heart Month

BAKERSFIELD, CA (February 22, 2012) – In-Shape Health Clubs is excited to celebrate American Heart Month, as well as local members who are taking charge of their health, with an Open House next Wednesday, February 29th at all Bakersfield In-Shape locations. Members and the community are encouraged to attend.

In-Shape City: Oswell member, Robin Haskell, joined the gym after her doctor had her on over 15 medications per day to control her diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and other cardiovascular ailments. She knew she had to make a change--her life depended on it. She began to change her diet and joined In-Shape, where she started working with a personal trainer to motivate her and stay on track.

“I’ve been overweight my whole life- my entire family is,” said Haskell. “I lost about 10 pounds on my own thru changing my diet, but once I began working with my trainer, who I’ve been with now for over 7 years, the weight kept coming off. It continues to be a daily struggle but now my lifestyle has changed- for the better.”

In-Shape is encouraging members as well as local residents to take advantage of the Open House next Wednesday at all 5 Bakersfield clubs. Members are encouraged to bring their friends and family to check out the club. For a complete listing of club hours and locations visit www.inshapeclubs.com.

“Robin’s story is so inspiring and we are proud to be a part of it,” said Jared Robertson, In-Shape’s Regional Manager. “We believe that everyone in the communities we serve should be able to join our facilities and live a healthy lifestyle.”
