If you are anything like me, you are not interested in standing in line for hours in the dark and cold, just so you can get a free miniature snow globe with your holiday shopping purchase. Nope. It’s not for me.
I’ll be spending the day at home, putting my toy order in online — but if I didn’t live in the middle of nowhere, I’d take a trip to the local Gold’s Gym after doing my internet shopping.
From November 28th through the holiday weekend, Gold’s Gym will be hosting a “Trim the Fat Friday” program. For this one weekend, you can get in free, exercise to your heart’s content, and receive tips for keeping the pounds off through the entire holiday season. Nutrition experts and gym trainers will also be on hand to help with weight loss and maintenance goals. How cool is that?
Considering that the average Thanksgiving meal is 3000 calories, I think it’s a smart marketing move for Gold’s Gym, and a great way to get people in the door.
P.S. Contest Alert: If you prefer to exercise in the comfort of your own home but need a little motivation, very soon I’ll be giving away a great (musical) addition to your workout. Stay tuned!
What a fabulous promotion! I’ll be one of the crazies, standing in front of Walmart on Black Friday though. I hope lots take advantage of this, anyway. Less competition for the good deals!
Can’t wait to hear about your giveaway!
Oh! That’s so smart of them! Might have to go find a Gold Gym to visit this weekend. You know, in between all that holiday shopping ONLINE!
We don’t have a Gold’s Gym anywhere near us, or I’d probably show up! I have spent a big part of the weekend cleaning up after my kids however, so I am getting some calorie burning in my schedule! I didnt “do” Black Friday, and am instead shopping online…mall walking is a good exercise, but not when the mall is packed with crazies!
