Sacramento, CA, June 24, 2009 --(PR.com)-- 123fit Sacramento Helps Fight Teen Obesity

With teen obesity on the rise, many doctors consider it to be an epidemic: the number of overweight teens has more than tripled since 1980. In an effort to help counter this trend, 123fit Sacramento will open their doors to teenagers this summer. Teens can utilize a complimentary membership at 123fit Sacramento through August 30.

The 123fit workout is for teenagers between the ages of 13-18 and will allow them basic access to 123fit Sacramento facility free of charge. In addition, teenagers can enroll in fit university small group training sessions designed specifically for youth. These sessions will also be offered at a discounted rate.

Matthew Weaver, owner of the 123 Fit Sacramento, is excited about this outreach to teens. “We understand the key is not just to avoid obesity, but to stay active every day. Everyone who longs to be in better shape needs to develop healthier habits. The sooner these habits are established, the greater the chances they will continue through life. That’s what we hope to give the teens that join us this summer.”

A parent or guardian must come into the club to give consent for their teen to participate in the program. For more information, contact Damian Weber or Dara Lundregan at (916) 383-0123.

About 1-2-3 Fit

Research has shown the 123fit circuit training program is one of the most efficient full-body workouts. In just 30 minutes, the 123fit it workout combines cardio, strength and resistance training. This fast-paced workout allows for higher energy expenditure, thus burning more calories.

“The 123fit circuit training program addresses the top reason that individuals do not maintain active lifestyles—a perceived lack of time,” said Dr. Cedric X. Bryant, chief science officer for the American Council on Exercise. “By blending aerobic and strength training, the program meets the recommended minimum threshold for physical activity to enhance the overall health and wellness of individuals. In addition, the workout offers a wide workout intensity range, which appeals to both men and women, and the group environment provides motivation for individuals and enhances program adherence.”

The 123fit circuit training program is highly effective for all body types. 123fit has also been recently recognized by ACE, the American Council on Exercise. “The 123fit mission has always been to provide an effective and safe workout in a comfortable, non-intimidating environment, and now we have the proof,” said Weaver. “The goal is just to stay active. The more active we are, the better we feel, and the quicker we will reach our health and fitness goals”.
