Get a Head Start on Your New Year's Resolution

Have you watched shows like NBC's The Biggest Loser, where contestants compete to lose weight over the course of the show, and thought, "I could lose weight if I had a personal trainer to motivate me, a great gym to work out in and someone to plan my meals?"

Well, get ready to get fit because you just ran out of excuses. 24 Hour Fitness, which for the past three seasons has been the fitness partner for The Biggest Loser, offers a six-week program designed to give club members access to the information and encouragement they need to succeed at their weight loss goals.

For just $49 plus the cost of membership, you'll have access to the same expert advice as contestants on the show. The program includes five 25-minute sessions with a personal trainer, a fitness assessment and nutritional counseling. And if you join now, 24 Hour Fitness will waive the initiation fee.

If you are a fan of The Biggest Loser, you've seen the onsite gym built by 24 Hour Fitness, which includes all state-of-the-art equipment, at the ranch where contestants live while competing on the program. The show reflects 24 Hour Fitness' mission to make fitness a way of life for everyone, no matter what their fitness ability.
