We see this partnering as a natural evolution of the fitness industry where the lines between physical and digital offerings continue to blur, but now at an accelerated rate.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
March 27, 2020

Blink Fitness has partnered with leading fitness app Sworkit to provide members with access to customizable at-home workouts. COVID-19 has forced gym closures across the nation; Blink and Sworkit have designed a product offering that will provide at-home workouts to ensure Blink Fitness members can stay physically active and motivated when away from the gym. Customizable and pre-planned workouts are now available through a Sworkit integration in the Blink Fitness app.

“This integration could not be timelier,” states Sworkit CEO, Greg Coleman. He continues by saying, “We see this partnering as a natural evolution of the fitness industry where the lines between physical and digital offerings continue to blur, but now at an accelerated rate.”

“We’re so excited to be partnering with a likeminded brand like Sworkit during this pivotal time for fitness,” said Blink Fitness CEO, Todd Magazine. “Accessible and personalized content matters more than ever before and we remain committed to providing the highest quality tools for our members.”

This campaign will serve as a resource for Americans who are seeking treatment options for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
March 26, 2020

Helping to conclude National Nutrition Month, Mediaplanet today announces the launch of the first-ever edition of “Nutrition and Heart Health.” This campaign will serve as a resource for Americans who are seeking treatment options for chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease. It will also educate healthcare professionals and patients on current trends in cardiovascular treatment and technology.

The print component of “Nutrition and Heart Health” is distributed within today’s edition of USA Today in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Altanta, Nashville, Houston, Dallas, D.C., and Chicago markets, with a circulation of approximately 200,000 copies and an estimated readership of 600,000. The digital component is distributed nationally, through a vast social media strategy, and across a network of top news sites and partner outlets. To explore the digital version of the campaign, visit:

Physician and New York Times best-selling author Dr. Mark Hyman graces the cover of the print publication. Through an exclusive interview on the interior, Dr. Hyman talks about the benefits of eating a plant-rich diet, and what the modern healthy diet should consist of, despite outdated government recommendations. “Instead of demonizing one macronutrient like fat or carbs, I recommend that we just stick to real, whole foods, not food-like substances,” says Hyman.

Other editorials in the campaign include plant-based healthcare, a new trend across healthcare professionals and patients that’s using the power of plants to aid in disease treatment, careers in nutrition, advancements in cardiovascular disease treatment and technology, congenital heart defects and pediatric cardiology, and the future of personalized healthcare.

This campaign was made possible with the support of Greenleaf Foods, WeTheTrillions, University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology, American Heart Association, Blossom Bariatrics, DNALife, GrassrootsHealth Nutrient Research Institute, Johns Hopkins Children’s Hospital, The Sugar Association, Children’s Heart Foundation, and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology.

This co-ed overnight basketball camp in Potsdam, NY allows campers to experience what it is like to be a collegiate student athlete.

I am grateful to have experienced Potsdam Basketball Camp a camper, a counselor, and now as the Co-Director.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (PRWEB)
March 24, 2020

Since 1970, thousands of campers have trained, competed and improved at the SUNY Potsdam Summer Basketball Camp in Potsdam, NY, part of St. Lawrence County. Over the years camp instruction has always been led by the Head Basketball Coaches at SUNY Potsdam and is currently Co-Directed by Jim Bechtel and Brittany Cohen.

“It’s amazing to have our basketball camp up and running for its 50th consecutive year,” says Coach Cohen, Head Women’s Basketball Coach at SUNY Potsdam. “I have grown up with this camp and have many fond memories of my grandfather Stan Cohen, who coached at Potsdam for over 40 years. I am grateful to have experienced Potsdam Basketball Camp a camper, a counselor, and now as the Co-Director.”

This New York basketball camp offers players the choice to attend as an overnight or day camper. Open to both boys and girls, this camp will immerse players in an in-depth basketball experience and undergo specialized drills that Coach Bechtel and Coach Cohen have created for the players. Campers have reported learning imperative life skills like being a good teammate, increased communication and how to push yourself to be the best you can be.

“It’s unique to have a camp that has been passed down through the generations,” says Brent Koonce, Sr. VP of Nike Basketball Camps. “Every year we get calls from mothers and fathers who attended camp back in the day and are now looking to sign up their kids. It’s pretty incredible to be part of a camp that has been such a huge part of local family’s summer traditions.”

Coach Bechtel and Coach Cohen, along with their collegiate-level staff, will guide the campers through fundamental instruction, game situations, and basketball-specific conditioning while also providing a fun and positive environment for all levels.

This program is set to run July 12-15 and is open to boys and girls, ages 8-18, of all ability levels. Players, coaches, and parents interested in camps can visit Nike Basketball Camps. For more information, please call 1-800-645-3226.

PHOENIX (PRWEB)

Loud Rumor, the nation’s leading consulting agency for fitness studios, developed and launched a free course to help its 1,300 plus fitness studio clients pivot and move fitness offerings online to maintain revenue, amidst COVID-19 closures.

During this international crisis, small businesses like fitness studios are forced to temporarily close for an undermined length of time, which means no revenue, potentially leading to layoffs and permanent closures. Loud Rumor CEO Mike Arce said that less than two weeks ago, he started receiving messages and calls from fitness studio owners who were at a loss for what to do, and fearing they would lose their businesses.

“I pivoted fast,” said Arce. “Our clients needed our support, so within 24 hours we developed and launched an online course that walked our clients step-by-step through how to deal with the crisis and how to continue adding value to their customers to ensure the monthly recurring revenue still came in.”

The course includes a step-by-step guide to allow a gym owner to convert their physical fitness studio to an online fitness studio so members can live stream classes. Arce said the course teaches which tools to purchase or subscribe to, how to set them up and integrate them, email scripts, marketing templates and more. Loud Rumor also created more than 50 different digital ad campaigns selling these new virtual fitness classes. Clients running the campaigns across the nation are seeing unprecedented low costs per lead, roughly $2 – $5 compared to the normal $15-$25 average cost per lead.

Brittany Welk and Marciea Allen, co-founders of Lady Strong Fitness in Chicago, were one of the first calls Arce got just over a week ago. “We were devastated,” said Welk. “We were having to shut down our studio, which meant not providing quality workouts to our members. Yet, we still had rent, bills and employees to pay. We thought we were going to lose our business.”

Arce helped Welk and Allen convert their studio into an online fitness studio in just a matter of days. So far, they have maintained all 236 of their members through daily streaming workouts.

“We know we have months of this ahead of us, and are so appreciative of our members who are still supporting us while we pivot the classes they love to the digital platform,” said Allen. “We’re confident that we’ll be able to keep business going until we can fully open back up to in-studio classes thanks to our amazing community supporting us during this trying time.”

Arce also launched a sister podcast to his internationally-known fitness business podcast, The GSD Show, called “GSD COVID Updates” where he has produced 50 episodes in just one week in order to bring fitness studios all the information they need. On the show, Arce interviews financial experts to talk about SBA loan options and tax adjustments and he talks to legal experts about landlord negotiations, among many others. He plans to continue to add content to cover every topic a fitness studio owner could need to access during this critical time.
