Gold's Gym Passes $22B "Fitness Stimulus Package”

“In an effort to strengthen the health of Las Vegas, Gold's Gym has put together its own version of a stimulus package that is sure to generate bi-partisan support. The $22 billion "Fitness Stimulus" package is designed to empower Americans to not only improve their fitness levels, but to help improve the health of the economy as well. The multi-pronged stimulus package focuses on three key areas: giving Americans an opportunity to work out for free, helping them assess their current fitness levels and providing them with a "how-to" guide on starting a successful exercise regimen. This approach includes $11 billion in free 7-day passes to Gold's Gym (one for every American over the age of 18), $11 billion in free health audits by a Gold's Gym personal trainer and a free exercise guide, which is available at www.goldsgym.com/stimulus. Every year, more than $1 trillion is spent on common diseases that could have been prevented through a healthy nutrition and exercise program. The Fitness Stimulus campaign is an effort to raise awareness for the fact that exercise can play a big part in reducing the nation's health care costs. ‘With obesity-related healthcare costs tripling over the last two decades, there's no question that Americans need to make more time for health and fitness,’ said Sean Paxton, Gold's Gym Las Vegas. ‘An unhealthy lifestyle is costly to both an individual's health and to the country as a whole. The package hopes to correct this problem by empowering people to take control of their lives and play a role in fixing the struggling economy by saving the U.S. billions of dollars in preventable health care costs.’ ‘We can guarantee you that anyone who takes advantage of the free offerings from our fitness stimulus package will immediately feel the results’, added Paxton. ‘We're confident that our plan will help 'stimulate' people to get off the couch and take up a more active and healthy lifestyle.’ To get started on a healthier lifestyle, Las Vegas residents are invited to log on to www.goldsgym.com/stimulus for a free 7-day workout pass to any participating Gold's Gym in Las Vegas and to download the free exercise guide. Gold's Gym is also encouraging people who are already engaged in physical fitness to use the "Fitness Stimulus" package as an opportunity to encourage their friends and family to do the same.”
