Local Personal Trainer and Ace Join Forces for the Military

May 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Murfreesboro, TN – June 1, 2011- The American Council on Exercise (ACE) and local trainer and business owner Julie Wilcoxson of Transformations 4 Life have pledged to offer free personal training, semi private training, or boot camp sessions free to our service members and their families. Ace’s goal is to pledge 1 million fitness training service hours to enrich the quality of life of our service members and their families, and expand their access to fitness resources and programs.
Julie Wilcoxson has pledged 5 free hours to this cause and is willing to increase the number to meet ACE’s goal in her local community. “This pledge is close to my heart, I was a wife of an Army Ranger for 4 hours and National Guard for 2. I remember working hard to get into shape while waiting for my husband’s return. Our military and their families are giving the ultimate sacrifice every day and I would like to give back in any way I can and help alleviate some of the stress”, explains Wilcoxson.

Whether you’re an activated National Guard or Reservist or an immediate family member of someone who is, we want to show our sincere gratitude by offering fitness trainings services (such as personal training sessions or fitness classes) at no cost to you and your family. On June 1st, you can visit http://www.acefitness.org/joiningforces enter your zip code to find an ACE Certified fitness professional in your area who has pledged to offer fitness training services, their pledged number of hours, type of fitness instruction, credentials, areas of specialty, and how to contact them.
