BodyWatts to Offer GRRL's Program |
|
“With obesity increasing at an alarming
rate, BodyWatts wants to help young women develop healthy habits so that
as they mature and have children of their own, they can pass along their
knowledge of a healthy lifestyle” says owner, Lorri Wilson-Clarke.
Clarke continues “The GRRL’s program was conceived by manager, Bonnie
Brown, whose passion is teaching fitness and wellness”. Brown says, “It
is so encouraging to see the transformation of our young members and
with this grant we are able to reach out to the community of teen girls
who may not have the resources to join a facility such as ours”. For more information:
