Escape 2 Fitness Co. has been selected by NBC 5's In the Loop with iVillage to be the fitness and nutrition team to help two of their viewers and host, Kim Coles get on the right health track.

Fitness assessments will be conducted every two weeks during the program to chart progress. The trainers will work with the ladies 4 days per week. The ladies are given activity assignments, such as cardiovascular exercises, to perform 1-2 times per day.
The ladies also met with the dietitian at the beginning of the program to be placed on their nutrition plan.

Kim Coles, 46
Chicago, IL & Los Angeles, CA

Kim is ready for the challenge. Being an actress, talk show host, and having 2 homes on opposite sides of the country, needless-to-say, she's a VERY busy woman who is striving to achieve lifestyle balance. She needs and desires exercise to be a healthy and regular part of her lifestyle. Kim, like most of our clients, is an intelligent woman who knows, for the most part what to do, but just can't get it in her schedule to do it. It's another task on her schedule and that overwhelms her. She want to learn how to look at exercise at an "escape" and get back to loving it like she use to. |
