FT Providence Steps Out with the American Diabetes Association!

Join the Fitness Trainers at FT Providence to find a cure for diabetes and get in better shape!

Fitness Together is proud to be the American Diabetes Association's Official Health & Fitness Sponsor for Eastern New England's Step Out: Walk to Fight Diabetes campaign. We are committed to helping individuals with diabetes make healthy lifestyle changes.

FT Providence is joining the other Fitness Together studios from Massachusetts and Rhode Island to raise money for the ADA through our Cardio for a Cure campaign. Our clients, friends and their families throughout Massachusetts and Rhode Island will run, walk, bike and swim to raise money for diabetes education and research. Our goal is to raise more than $40,000.

Fitness Together is also conducting a six-month type 2 diabetes study this June through December. The objective of our case study is to show that Fitness Together's holistic approach combining strength and cardio training with nutritional coaching can overcome diabetes and help get type 2 diabetics off medicine. With 42 studios participating, we hope to make a huge impact on the lives of many individuals and their families.

FT Providence is taking part in the study with local Jazz and Blues musician Kim Trusty. Kim is a Type 2 Diabetic and she is committed to getting in better shape and losing weight. She is training and doing cardio workouts six days a week. She's also participating in a nutrition program in conjunction with FT's Nutrition Together program. She is doing regular fitness assessments and is committed to improving diabetes awareness! Check out Kim's web site at www.kimtrusty.com.
