Merlino Fitness Launches Group Weight Training Workshops

Merlino Fitness launches its new group weight training workshops, which offer beginner weight training instruction at a very affordable price. Certified professional fitness trainer, Michael Merlino, will present each workshop and will give beginning weight trainers tips & guidance on designing a safe & effective weight training program. Group sessions are limited to four students and are held bi-weekly at the Houston Downtown YMCA. Each 4 hour workshop includes one hour of classroom instruction followed by three hours of hands-on weight training instruction.

"This is a great opportunity to reach a larger group of people who are looking for a program that is affordable and realistic", says Merlino Fitness owner, Michael Merlino. "By limiting class size to groups of 4 students, everyone will get hands on instruction and have a chance to try all of the exercises." Spotting techniques will also be covered.

Cost for the 4 hour program is $129.00 and also includes a fitness goodie bag, recommended written workout plan, free subscription to the MerlinoFitness.com weekly e-newsletter and special discount offers on fitness & nutrition products from MerlinoFitness.com and Houston area sporting goods stores.
