For immediate release

LA PLATA, Maryland - October 7, 2008 - Longevity Studios is offering a 15% discount on personal training at both Longevity Studios and La Plata Fitness Clubs.

"Many people put off their fitness goals until the New Year, when they make a New Year's resolution to get into shape," said Cliff Long, President and CEO of Longevity Studios. "But waiting until the New Year may have a long-term detrimental effect on a person's weight. The average person gains 5 to 7 pounds over the holidays, and although they lose some of that weight over the next year, recent studies show that the average American gains one pound each year – 10 pounds each decade of their adult lives. According to a study by the National Institutes of Health, the majority of that weight is gained during a six-week period each year, between Thanksgiving and New Year's. Starting a regular fitness program now can prevent the holiday weight gain, and it prevents the need for another broken New Year's resolution next year."

The 15% discount on personal training is available now through November 15th at Longevity Studios and La Plata Fitness, in La Plata, Maryland.
