Ellipse Fitness is Ready to Rock Your Jeans

Ellipse Fitness is Ready to Rock Your Jeans

Appleton, WI. – Ellipse Fitness is pleased to announce their Fall 2011 Rock Your Jeans Challenge. The Appleton, WI based fitness franchise specializes in providing regularly scheduled group exercise classes and weight loss programs for their members. The company currently has 9 locations in Wisconsin and St Louis. Lisa Welko, President of Ellipse Fitness, is looking forward to the results of the 8 week challenge:

“Do you have a pair of jeans in the back of your closet that are collecting dust because they are too small? Are you at war against the scale? This will change your life in only 8 weeks!”

For years people have measured weight loss through the use of a bathroom scale and trainers worldwide have used body percentages as the gold standard for monitoring progress. However, Ellipse Fitness has changed their approach through their work with Rachel Cosgrove.

Participants will be given a fitness program, nutrition plan, and 8 weeks to get into jeans that are two sizes smaller. Each participant is to bring in a pair of jeans that they currently can’t button and are 1-2 sizes too small. At the end if they fit into their jeans they will eligible to receive a prize from a local clothing store.

“I am excited to have Lisa and the Ellipse Fitness studios involved in our challenge. Lisa has a great story to share; a business owner, community volunteer and Mom that has dealt with weight and image issues and has a passion for working with others!” says Rachel Cosgrove, best selling author of The Female Body Breakthrough, columnist for Women’s Health Magazine and spokesperson for Secret Deodorant.
