Coppell Fitness Company Gives Free ‘Turkey-Busting Workouts’ To Help Feed The Hungry

Nov. 14, 2011 - PRLog -- COPPELL, TEXAS – November 14–Just bring a can of food or an old coat and you can workout at Coppell’s leading fitness boot camp from November 23-26 for free.  Linder, owner of Get You In Shape Coppell Boot Camp, calls them “Turkey-Busting Workouts” because they burn off those monstrous calories we all consume on Thanksgiving.

“This is our third year in a row for this event and we plan on making it an annual tradition here," says Linder, "because Thanksgiving is such a wonderful family and friends holiday, and a time to show our appreciation for all we have, especially our health."

The “Turkey Busting workouts” are open to all Coppell area residents and their family and friends on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.  The cost of admission is just one can of food (preferably vegetables) or an old coat; otherwise it’s completely free to everyone who wants a great workout with fun people.

“All that we ask is that folks register in advance at www.CoppellThanksgivingWorkout.com so we can be sure we have enough equipment on hand to accommodate everyone,” says Linder.  “The workouts are perfect for all folks regardless of age or fitness level – we make everyone feel welcome and customize the workouts so everybody gets what they need. This event will be a great way for the Coppell community to have fun, get fit, and make a difference.”

Trinity Smith, the Food Distribution Manager at the Christian Community Action, knows just how crucial food donations are this time of year.  "During the holidays our food needs increase dramatically. Without the help of the community and donations, it would cost in excess of $60,000 to run the Holiday Meals Program. This is why help from the community is so vital," said Smith.  

The Get You In Shape Coppell Boot camp Turkey-Busting Workouts will be held at Andy Brown Park East in Coppell.

“We anticipate a great turnout because folks enjoy working out with family, friends and friendly people.  And because we’re supporting a great cause, CCA which distributes more than $1.4 of food each year to people in need.  It’s a great way for us to give thanks for our health, our families, friends and good fortune, and help others who are less fortunate at the same time,” explains Linder.
