Wilmington Boot Camp Trades Toys for Workout




Wilmington, NC November 19, 2009—The Wilmington based HeadSTRONG Athletics’ Boot Camps is teaming up with clients and friends to support the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation. In return for toys brought by each participant, HeadSTRONG Athletics will provide a free group workout. “The primary goal of Toys for Tots is to deliver, through a shiny new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to needy youngsters that will motivate them to grow into responsible, productive, patriotic citizens and community leaders.”

HeadSTRONG Athletics founder and head trainer, Shawn Manning, Russian Kettlebell Instructor, is a firm believer in giving back to the community. Manning explains “with the economy in a state of despair and families losing jobs, it is important that we come together to help those in need. Many of our clients are involved in charitable organizations and go beyond the call of duty when it comes to volunteerism.” This will be the first of many annual toy drives done by HeadSTRONG Athletics.

The free workout will be held December 13, 2009 at Hugh McRae Park in Wilmington, NC. We will start promptly at 10:00 am. The event is open to the public and current boot campers. Participants will be using equipment such as kettlebells, sandbags and heavy ropes and also do a variety of body weight exercises. “This is a chance for people to experience the energy of group training and help children simultaneously,” states Manning. The workout will be based around timed intervals, a proven way to burn fat and build muscle at the same time. “We welcome everyone who wants to train like an athlete and push themselves to be stronger mentally and physically.”

HeadSTRONG Athletics currently holds Boot Camps at McKay Healing Arts on Wrightsville Ave. Phase 1 Boot Camps will begin on January 5th, 2009 and will last six weeks. A 1-week free trial is open to all newcomers and a money back guarantee is provided. For more information, visit www.HeadSTRONGAthletics.com or call Shawn at 910-231-5011.
