Members are encouraged to participate and invite their friends as WOMEN WORKOUT FOR FREE* on September 28!

“Our goal for this national event is to encourage women to take control of their health: to learn the facts they need to make smart health choices, and to make time for regular physical activity,” adds Patricia Henze, Executive Director of the Health Information Resource Center^sm, organizer of the event (15th Annual National Women’s Health & Fitness Day to be held September 28, 2016, 2016).

Women can also relax and enjoy FREE chair massage from 10am – 12pm and 5pm – 7pm. Women may enter a special raffle to win a personal training Starter Package, a one-hour massage, or a $25 gift card each time they work out from September 26 through October 2.
