Evolution Fitness Raised $1,700 for MANNA at their Grand Expansion Charity Workout

CHERRY HILL, N.J. - Nov. 20, 2013 - PRLog -- On November 16, 2013, Evolution Fitness hosted two charity workouts benefiting MANNA, a non-profit organization that cooks and delivers nutritious meals to people in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area who are battling life threatening illnesses.  Evolution Fitness raised $1,700 for MANNA that day – a combination of the donations from the workout participants & other members who donated even though they could not attend, the Evo Fit Shake Café smoothie sales, & raffle prizes that were generously donated by local businesses.

The charity workout was a celebration of Evolution Fitness’s recent expansion.  The new fitness facility is located just a couple of doors down from their previous location.  Still in the same shopping center, the Tuscany Marketplace on Route 70 in Cherry Hill, they are in the rear of the center now, next to Huntington Learning Center and across from the School of Rock.  Evolution Fitness gained 2,000 sf in the recent expansion, going from a 3,000 sf fitness facility to a 5,000 sf one.

“We are so grateful to everyone who helped us to raise money and awareness for MANNA.  We couldn’t be happier to donate to such a worthy organization, and to raise awareness to all the important work they do,” said Helena Duzenski, co-owner of Evolution Fitness.  “We want to thank our staff too, and everyone else that helped us organize and run this event,” added David Duzenski, fellow co-owner.  "It takes a team to pull something like this off and the fact that it was such a huge success just proves what a wonderful team we have at Evolution Fitness.  We couldn't be prouder of everyone here."

Lydia Cipriani, Director of Development & Communications at MANNA attended the charity workouts to speak about MANNA and thank the participants for their donations.  “Lydia was wonderful,” said Danielle Kane, co-owner of Evolution Fitness.  “We are so glad she took the time to come out to our event.  I know our workout participants greatly appreciated her presence. “

“The workout itself was really fun,” added Brian Kane, fellow co-owner.   “The participants worked hard, we were proud of them.  And, they were all pretty excited about the fact that they not only contributed to a great cause, but they got a great workout in that was designed to keep their metabolic engine humming at high speed for the next 24 – 48 hours.”

About Evolution Fitness

Evolution Fitness was born of four friends’ passion to change the way fitness was done.  With the growing number of people trying to get healthy and change their lives for the better, co-owners Brian, David, Danielle and Helena could see the need for results-oriented, solution-based, lifelong fitness. They knew that the only way to really help people change their lifestyle long-term was to provide them with the same type of scientifically-based, individualized exercise program design, motivational coaching, and commitment that is usually reserved for the elite athlete.   They understood that while most of their members would never get paid a single dime for anything they did in the athletic realm, they nonetheless were deeply impacted by the health of their bodies and, therefore, deserved the same thought and care.  Every member of Evolution Fitness is taken through an extensive assessment called the Body Blueprint, which informs the program design department about each member’s specific body and movements, assessing their stability and mobility, their imbalances and weaknesses, and overall risk of injury.  This data is used to develop individualized exercise programs that get results quickly, effectively, and safely.  Evolution Fitness makes it a priority to take care of their members’ bodies so that they can enjoy a fit, healthy lifestyle for as long as possible.

David, Brian, Helena and Danielle also recognize that exercise is as athletic as any sport and, in order to get results, their members must push their bodies to new limits and do more than they think they can.  That’s why positive motivation is a core value at Evolution Fitness and has become a big part of what they are known for.  The four friends and business partners take care to foster a team culture and “in it together” atmosphere at their gym so that the members themselves cheer each other on and support one another.  This has proven to be an invaluable part of helping their members’ achieve their goals.

Evolution Fitness sets itself apart by providing the same quality program design and positive, motivational coaching reserved for the elite athlete to all of its members.  But, none of that would mean anything if it wasn’t also a fun place to work out.  Danielle, Helena, Brian and David understand that unlike the elite athlete, their members neither have the desire nor the time to dedicate themselves solely to their bodies and performance.  For most of us, working out only becomes sustainable when it is a fun, shared experience. The coaches and staff at Evolution Fitness strive to make every workout and every experience at their gym a pleasurable one.  The team mentality and culture at Evolution Fitness lends itself to a fun, social atmosphere where lasting relationships are formed and each member feels part of a larger community - their fitness family which they call Team Evolution.

Helena, David, Danielle, and Brian are proud of what they have accomplished so far and look forward to continue to evolve fitness, and Evolution Fitness, to the next level.
