EveryBODY Fitness will host its 1st ever POUND® for Puppies class on Monday October 13th beginning at 5pm. EveryBODY Fitness will be partnering with Advocates Saving Adoptable Pets to help raise awareness for World Mental Health Day which is celebrated every year in October.
The class will be led by certified POUND® Instructor Allison Buckhannon and will last approximately two hours with one half devoted to POUND® and the remainder for playing with puppies. The cost of the session will be donation based with a recommendation of $15-$20 as a part of the proceeds will go directly to ASAP.
A POUND® class is a little different than most workouts, instead of listening to music, you become the music with a full-body workout that uses lightly weighted drumsticks specific for exercising, POUND® transforms drumming into an incredibly effective way of working out. The workout is easily modifiable and open to all ages and abilities.
The combination class and adoption event gives people the opportunity to interact with the puppies outside the shelter.
It gives them exposure and shows their personality as well as allowing people to envision these pets in their home easier because they’re outside the shelter environment.
The event is part of EveryBODY Fitness' mission statement of giving back to the community.
Each month EveryBODY Fitness selects a local program or charity to partner with. Gym members bring in items listed as needed for the program for the selected month and then the items are donated to the program.
According to the National Institute for Health (NIH) interacting with animals can decrease cortisol, a stress-producing hormone, and lower blood pressure. Studies have also found that spending time with animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost a person's mood. We're excited to bring together dog lovers at this fun-filled class focused on mental health and well-being. This is an opportunity to be healthy all while enjoying some 4-legged classmates during this one-of-a-kind experience.
EveryBODY Fitness is located in the Eastern Heights Shopping Center, 4341 US-60 Suite 101 C, Huntington, WV 25705. For more information please call: (304) 691-0188 or reach out on our Facebook page: EveryBODY Fitness
