Press Release Body = Coral Gables, FL - Sifu Sandor Urban, owner of "Sandor Urban's US Kenpo Kai," in Coral Gables, has declared war on obesity and created a corporate fitness program and contest to spur interest among local companies. The program pits local businesses against each other in healthy competition that benefits local charities. The Ultimate Bodyshaping Corporate Challenge aims to create awareness of health, fitness and dietary issues in a fun \'Biggest Loser\' style contest. Companies who enroll their employees in the Ultimate Bodyshaping Course will have an opportunity to lose weight, get in shape and raise money for their favorite local charity by donating the contest prize.
"Obesity is a big contributor to the health crisis we are now facing. The rise in diabetes amongst young adults is directly correlated to unhealthy eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle." Said Mr. Urban, head instructor. "If you have fit, healthy employees then you will over time be able to reduce your company\'s health insurance costs. Additionally, you will have happier, more productive employees with higher morale and motivation."
"This is important to both employers and employees. I really feel that we need to bring attention to this matter in every way possible and this is an excellent way to accomplish that. My hope is that people who see this will take the information to their employer and get a team started. It\'s easy to do and the Ultimate Bodyshaping Course is a fun way to get into spectacular shape in a relatively short amount of time. The participating teams will receive a discount on the price of the course and have a great time kick boxing and resistance training in dynamic classes. Teams are made of as little as 5 participants and a portion of the proceeds will be held in a pool for donation to the winning team\'s charity of choice. The team that loses the most weight during the 10 weeks wins! Really, everyone wins, especially the local community." continued Mr. Urban
