STOCKTON, CA<\/strong> – In-Shape Health Clubs, California\u2019s top destination for fitness and recreation, announced its goal to raise $150,000 for cancer research in the month of October for its 4th annual Fight Cancer campaign.<\/p>\n \u201cCancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. and touches so many people in different ways. We wanted to pick a cause that would have the greatest impact across our broad community and all our members, so that together, we can help the most amount of people,\u201d said Francesca Schuler, CEO of In-Shape Health Clubs.<\/p>\n A small idea that started in 2015, #InShapeFightsCancer has evolved into a cause that its teams and communities actively rally around and is getting bigger every year. This year, In-Shape will try to increase the amount raised by 15%.<\/p>\n \u201cIn-Shape isn\u2019t just a health club. It is a place of belonging where members can connect in different ways \u2013 including contributing back to the community together,\u201d Schuler said. \u201cWe believe in the power of community to make a difference which is why we invest resources to encourage our community of members, team members, and partners to work together for a great cause,\u201d she continued. <\/p>\n This year, In-Shape will center its fundraising efforts on using fitness as a way to help yourself and to help your community. <\/p>\n \u201cIn planning this year\u2019s campaign, we kept coming back to one of our brand pillars \u2013 being passionate about fitness. We wanted to provide our communities with a way to give back by doing something they love to do every day \u2013 a workout \u2013 that will make a difference in someone else\u2019s life. That\u2019s why we came up with the donation-based Ride Out Cancer and Dance Out Cancer events on October 12.\u201d<\/p>\n In-Shape is using every area of its clubs to motivate members to get involved: from classes in both the Cycle and Fitness Studios, to boot camps in the 360 Fit areas, to a special kids coloring card in the Kid Zones, to racquetball, tennis and pickleball tournaments on the courts, to expanded retail in the lobbies. <\/p>\n In addition to the donation-based fitness related events, In-Shape will donate $1 for every new member who joins in October and will donate $1 for every photo shared on social media tagged with #InShapeFightsCancer. Paper kettlebells will be for sale for $2, $5 and $10 at the front desk of every club. <\/p>\n In-Shape will be the flagship sponsor of two Making Strides Against Breast Cancer events and In-Shape team members will represent the company by walking in both the Modesto and Bakersfield events.<\/p>\n In-Shape\u2019s fitness partners are also helping with the campaign. Les Mills will sponsor a dynamic event featuring Les Mills Master Trainers on October 6 at three clubs throughout the state. Tickets can be purchase online for the events at Browns Valley, Merced and Seven Oaks. <\/p>\n The Ride Out Cancer and Dance Out Cancer events will be held on October 12 in 50 clubs. Les Mills will be providing all-star Master cycle instructors at select clubs for the Ride Out Cancer events.<\/p>\n
