BlackBench Fit and Turbo Tutoring Partner to Offer Scholarships to Local Students

ASHBURN, Va. - Oct. 17, 2014 - PRLog -- BlackBench Fit (http://www.blackbenchfit.com/) (BBF), a lifestyle fitness and nutrition company located in Loudoun County, Va, today announced a unique partnership with Turbo Tutoring (http://turbo-tutoring.com/), a program designed by local educators to provide quality, affordable SAT seminars in a short time frame.

The partnership provides Turbo Tutoring clients with the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend a 12-week Academy training session at BlackBench Fit.

BlackBench Fit and Turbo Tutoring announced the first scholarship winner, Gaby Gallegos, an Ashburn resident and junior at Stone Bridge High School.

Gallegos is the starting varsity point guard for the women’s basketball team, and also plays on the lacrosse team.  She is the president of the Special Ed Club, plays violin, and manages the varsity football team.

“I applied for the scholarship to improve my strength and overall health.  I hope to improve my body and get in shape before the basketball season,” Gallegos said.

Gallegos will receive a 12-week Academy training session at BlackBench Fit.

“Gaby epitomizes that special combination of student and athlete,” said Turbo Tutoring co-owner Dan Harris.  “She thrives on pushing herself to be better academically and athletically.”

“Our academy is focused on athletic development, but before kids are athletes they are students.  That should be their number one priority and we want to support that.  Partnering with Turbo Tutoring made a lot of sense as they have a new and innovative approach to SAT prep which was very similar to our philosophy at BBF Academy.  It is efficient and effective and prepares athletes for their next level,” said BBF co-owner Trish Drennan.

Gallegos took the Turbo Tutoring SAT prep class to achieve a higher level of success on the SAT and learn tips and tricks for how to do so.  The Turbo Tutoring class is accelerated, and geared toward a lot of student-athletes who have busy schedules, or for students who do not need to take a two month long prep class.

“If we can help young people achieve their dreams by raising their SAT scores, and BlackBench Fit can help them athletically to achieve high athletic success, it is a win for everyone,” Harris said.
