TLC's Chilli, Q100 & Reebok host a Total Fitness Revolution

noreply@blogger.com (Angela Watts) — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 21:29:00 +0000

ATLANTA, Ga, March 3, 2012 -- West Atlanta experienced a Total Fitness Revolution today as TLC's Chilli, Kristen from the Bert Show (Q100) and Reebok hosted the Grand Opening for the newest phenomenon in health and fitness. Crowds of families and health enthusiasts made their way to 1400 Veterans Memorial Hwy SE in Mableton, GA for a day of fitness and fun with Total Fitness Revolution.

Total Fitness Revolution Program Director, Lauren Whitmore was excited to welcome everyone to the brand new facility specifically created for personal fitness regimes including cycling classes, mini boot camp classes, kettle bell, TRX, strength dance and yoga. Aside from offering a day of free classes, Total Fitness Revolution ran membership specials and hosted several giveaways for all guests in attendance. "We are excited about being a part of this fast-growing community," Whitmore stated. Aside from boot camp sessions and fitness challenges, guests enjoyed special product from Reebok, Q100 and Vita Coco Water, face painting by Fabtastic Faces, and complimentary massages by My Massage with Ashley. Whitmore was ecstatic to have all sponsors on board for the studio’s first event, along with a little help from health conscious singer Chilli from TLC. "I love encouraging families especially to practice a healthy lifestyle. It was great seeing so many little ones out today. If you teach children to exercise and eat healthy from the beginning they don't form bad habits that will hurt them later, "Chilli said.

Total Fitness Revolution will continue to run membership specials throughout the spring. "We are looking forward to changing this community," Whitmore says. Whitmore’s passion for training stems from her own personal weight loss story and family health struggles. She started as a boot camp student several years ago and through consistent boot camp training, Cross fit and proper nutrition, Whitmore lost over 80 pounds. Total Fitness Revolution was birthed from Whitmore’s passion for helping others achieve their personal fitness best. “If you’re healthy, that’s a great start to bringing order to the rest of your life,” Whitmore says, “I’m living proof of that.”

Total Fitness Revolution is located at 1400 Veterans Memorial Hwy SE, Mableton, GA. For more information visit: www.totalfitnessrevolution.com
