If you are interested in “clubbing” consider this…  LA Fitness Uptown has offered a deal that is amazing!  For Pounds-4-Pride members they will waive all but $25.00 of the normal joiners fee ($125.00 savings) for P-4-P card holders to join the club.  By showing your P-4-P membership card to Jake or Mike at the uptown location you receive instant savings.  In addition to that – you also can use your membership statewide in Minnesota.

The greatest benefit to an LA Fitness membership is the FREE classes and an initial consult with a personal trainer to show you the ropes and get you started on your road to better health!

Thanks LA Fitness for joining the cause.

Local entrepreneur James Nelson, Owner of The Independent Uptown, has been a friend to the LGBTQ community since long before he started his restaurants.

Recently we have seen many of you at Twin Cities Pride and Rochester Pride.  We have asked you to consider joining in the Pounds-4-Pride Challenge.

Much more will unfold in the coming weeks and month’s while we as a community embrace what healthy living means to us.  Individually and as organizations, groups of friends and family, work places and congregations – the goals are up to you and the support is up to US!

Be Fit! Be Well! Be Proud! Be!
