Unemployment Is Dropping & High School Girls Help As They Inspire Others To Get Healthy For Prom

April 2, 2010 - PRLog -- Employment Offered to High School Girls going to Prom As a Healthy Way to inspire and educate girls everywhere on fitness and health!

(Los Angeles , CA)  Blog your way to a free prom this year?  O2  MAX is paying high school girls to be “Prom Fitness Ambassadors.”  Perks of this gig include membership in MAXProm – a personalized fitness & nutrition plan, free stuff for prom such as dresses/limo/hair & makeup and even a place to workout as companies such as Leisure Sports Inc. and YogaWorks open their doors to MAXProm girls!

The catch is sweet: girls get paid as they spread the word about healthy ways to get in shape for prom. MAXProm ambassadors blog about their experiences, create video content and photos that they use to inspire and educate girls across the country. “MAXProm is a win-win opportunity for girls to be a part a proactive + positive program that teaches them long-term, healthy eating & exercise habits that prevent unsafe short-term dieting under prom pressure, says Karen Jashinsky, Founding CEO of O2 MAX, the Los Angeles-based youth fitness media company that is now recruiting MAXProm Ambassadors in high schools all across the U.S.  Funds raised by MAXProm can also be used to help with senior prom budgets for schools.

“While MAX Prom participants receive online coaching and workout plans from O2 MAX trainers, we believe adding the physical club component gives girls the extra push they may need,” said Erin Gilmour, Director of Programming, at Leisure Sports. “ClubSport and Renaissance ClubSport not only offer state-of-the art facilities, but also a wide variety of fitness classes, programs and activities that that make it easier to find the right program for each girl based her interests, so that it continues to be a fun experience. They need to understand that it’s not like gym class where teams are picked, in a club environment no one feels left out.” Five of Leisure Sports clubs are joining the cause; ClubSport properties in Fremont and Pleasanton, CA; ClubSport  in Tigard OR; and Renaissance ClubSport in Walnut Creek and Aliso Viejo, CA.

YogaWorks has opened its doors to MAXProm girls in the Los Angeles area as a way to educate them on the benefits of Yoga. According to YogaWorks CEO, Phil Swain “yoga is an ideal way to help girls with self esteem and body image and we are excited to be part of this program!”

In addition to free/discounted prom dresses, limo, hair, makeup and prom fashion events, MAXProm Ambassadors get a free Princeton Review SAT prep class, and the opportunity to work closely with O2 MAX CEO – a great resume building experience in marketing & business development.  Ambassadors should be comfortable blogging, posting messages on Facebook about fitness and the MAXProm program, taking pictures and O2 MAX will help capture video content.
