Valley residents shed Pounds for a Purpose

Fitness Together clients are getting fit for a good cause. For every pound lost by a client from March 17 - April 19, Fitness Together will donate $1 to HandsOn Volunteer Network.

“Results for our clients have always been our main focus and we are always looking for new and fun ways to keep them motivated,” said Erin Mellinger, owner of the Fitness Together studios in Canfield and Poland. “We’ve got a lot of generous clients who are always committed to giving back to the community. This will provide them a unique chance to give back while seeing results at the same time.”

Prior to the start of the Pounds for a Purpose promotion, each client will be weighed in by a trainer. Fitness Together trainers will weigh the clients on a weekly basis to track the cumulative weight lost and total amount to be donated to HandsOn Volunteer Network.

Fitness Together focuses on private and small group personal training as well as nutrition consulting with the clients. Both locations combine for over 125 clients training over 1200 sessions per month.

HandsOn Volunteer Network champions volunteerism in the Mahoning Valley by connecting volunteers with opportunities to serve, and by providing much-needed services to the local non-profit community.

“There is a lot of potential money to be raised for such a great organization. I couldn’t be more excited to partner with HandsOn Volunteer Network for such a worthwhile cause. Just as losing weight promotes health, so does volunteering. It’s a perfect partnership,” Mellinger said.
