Fitness Club Discount Program Reaches 125 Facilities
By Shyloh WidemanOctober 27, 2009
Thanks to the participation of the Central Spokane YMCA, North Spokane YMCA, and Spokane Valley YMCA, the Fitness Club Discount Program has now reached 125 facilities. This is equivilent to just over 1 facility joining every 3 days. Wow! Know we're close to the end of the year but I'm hoping we can get this up to 182, which would average 1 facility joining every 2 days.
Know of a facility that is still not listed? Give the FCDP Club Flier (PDF) to the facility manager and help us out! That will give them all the information they need in order to get listed and even my contact info if they have any questions. And thanks to all of you who have already passed on the good word. We definitely appreciate the help!
