High School P.E. Class Receives No-Pressure Introduction to Gold's Gym

A high school P.E. class gets a no-pressure introduction to Gold's Gym.

Lisa Sink-Morris was looking to provide added value for sophomores taking her aerobics and dance physical education class at Roanoke, Va.'s Hidden Valley High School. So the teacher called on longtime friend Donna Wright, group exercise manager at Gold's Gym in Roanoke County. Together, the former high school classmates developed a partnership in which Wright teaches one P.E. session per semester at the school (most recently, it was a step aerobics class), and Sink-Morris' students travel five miles in a school activities bus to Gold's, where they are treated to a free tour and one of Wright's group exercise sessions. Twenty kids participated in a BODYPUMP™ class last fall and then enjoyed complimentary smoothies, courtesy of an anonymous club member who was impressed enough by the students' presence to pick up their tab.
