Personal Training Institute® to Bring Power-Packed Fitness & Nutrition to Southwest

Feb. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Jericho, NY, February 10, 2011 – Personal Training Institute (PTI) will soon bring its unique one-to-one approach to fitness and nutrition to Arizona, with its first franchise anticipated to open in mid-March. New franchisees Craig and Miki Jackson of Tucson report that construction is nearly complete at the new site located at 7625 North Oracle Road, Suite 145 at the Oracle Crossing Shopping Center.

“The PTI combination of strength training and nutrition guidance, provided one-to-one to each member, seems like the perfect fit for the active lifestyle of Southern Arizona.” Craig commented, adding, “Nobody is doing both, and it’s the combination of eating well and exercising that can keep people active and enjoying their lives throughout their careers and into retirement.” PTI programs are designed for clients ranging in age from children and teens through adults and seniors. Programs vary from endurance training and weight loss to strengthening, sculpting and nutritional education. Strong muscles support joints for greater mobility, stability and injury prevention.

Miki and Craig Jackson retired from corporate positions. Craig, who traveled with his job, explained that his weight ballooned to an unhealthy level, which necessitated a substantive life change on his part. Healthy eating, exercise and commitment enabled Craig to lose over 100 pounds over the span of a year. He became a personal trainer and became inspired to open a gym. His goal was to offer a program that delivers the supports – both nutritional and physical – that people need. Before reinventing the wheel, Craig did due diligence and discovered Personal Training Institute. As a trainer, he found a natural fit and appreciated PTI’s quality fitness and nutritional programs. “Some people do horrible, crazy things to lose weight,” Craig said. “People are desperate for guidance, and PTI can deliver results-oriented programs that improve wellness and support a higher quality of life.”
