On June 18^th volunteers of Sunrise Day Camp will be holding an Arts & Crafts Drive at Personal Training Institute located at 511 North Broadway in Jericho, from 1pm-4pm to benefit this very special camp.

Sunrise Day Camp, located on the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds in Wheatley Heights, New York, is the only dedicated day camp in the nation for children with cancer and their siblings and is offered completely free of charge.  Having a child with a chronic, life-threatening illness can have a devastating impact on a family, emotionally and financially.  It costs $6,000 to provide a child with a camping experience they will never forget.  Fundraising events and Drives like thes are critical to providing resources needed to operate camp and other year-round Sunrise programs.

Consider making a generous donation of arts & crafts supplies to benefit this very worthwhile camp and help these volunteers out.  Bring some sunshine to Sunrise Day Camp by donating new and unused arts & crafts supplies from the list below.

Jericho, NY, May 23, 2011 – In her fifth race to benefit Strength for Life, Dee Mullin of the Personal  Training Institute was joined by colleague Jessica Swanson, former longtime PTI client Denise Chapman and current PTI client Nadine Schiavo and eight other members of their relay team “Running from (Celebrity) Rehab with Dr. Drew,” as they ran around the clock on May 13^th and 14^th in the 31-hour Ragnar Relay Series race that covered 197 miles from Bethel to Westchester. The weather held out for the racers, with special credit to PTI’s director of training Jessica Swanson, who ran despite battling poison ivy and a sinus infection. The team ran at a 9:33 mile pace, which is below the 11:00 mile average for this grueling relay http://www.ragnarrelay.com/race/newyork). Dee and two friends raised $1,100, and Denise Chapman raised $810 for a team total of $1900 benefiting Strength for Life, a nonprofit organization that provides free exercise classes and wellness weekends for cancer patients and survivors at locations throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties.

“I am inspired by Maggie, a client of Strength for Life,” said Ms. Mullin. “She is battling cancer of the appendix and is making tremendous strides thanks in part to the wellness programs provided by Strength for Life.” Fitness training combined with good nutrition can be hugely beneficial to cancer patients, giving them a sense of control in a devastating situation and providing them with more energy and an enhanced quality of life.

Maggie has been part of the Strength for Life program for more than one year. She had a second surgery in December 2010, yet she has gained remarkable endurance and strength through her workouts at Strength for Life. “… I don’t know if you two (Strength for Life co-founders) realize that you have changed my life forever. I will drop everything to make sure that I go to the exercise on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. Your encouragement helped a lot. I always feel great after exercise, and I get to see all of my friends including both of you.” ~ Maggie

Fitness is all in the family and work culture for Ms. Mullin. Mullin started her career as a personal trainer with PTI and is now responsible for PTI’s franchise development and support. Her mom, Jacqui Errico, a certified Cancer Wellness Specialist and Health Fitness Instructor/Personal Fitness Trainer is the co-founder of Strength for Life, which was founded in honor of Evelyn Knapp, Co/founder of PTI, who lost her battle to breast cancer in 2005. Evan Kaplan, President & CEO of Personal Training Institute, is a member of Strength for Life’s Board of Directors and Carol Kur, Co/founder of PTI is on the organization’s Medical Advisory Board.

Strength for Life is currently seeking sponsors for its 2^nd annual “Evelyn Knapp’s Run to Remember” event, which is scheduled November 20, 2011 at Sunken Meadow State Park. According to the race organizer, they expect 1000+ registrants this year, especially since the course is one of the most challenging in the Northeast and last year’s event was professional and timely. Sponsors receive name and logo placement on marketing materials that are distributed to thousands of potential racers throughout Long Island, as well as publicity on Strength for Life’s website, placement on race day apparel and mentions in all pre-race and post-race publicity.

This results-oriented franchise is growing nationwide to help members and owners to achieve their goals. Visit www.ptifranchise.com for more information.
Strength for Life provides exercise classes, equipment and wellness retreats to cancer patients on Long  Island at no cost to participants. Founded in 2007, the race honors the memory of Evelyn Knapp who lost her battle with breast cancer at 40 years old. As an exercise physiologist Evelyn knew the benefits of exercise and personally experienced how it helped during treatment. We became Certified Cancer Exercise Specialists hoping to share the information and empower cancer patients/survivors to feel their absolute best and regain their ‘strength for life’. After our first breast cancer support group presentation we knew we had to offset the costs somehow because cancer patients have astronomical costs even when they have insurance.

Strength for Life has recently been featured in Long Island Business News, featured on FIOS1 ‘My LITV” and ‘Live it UP’ Ch. 55 and honored by Long Island Press ‘Fortune 52’ celebrating Long Island’s unique and inspirational women. With that recognition comes growth and greater need for funds to maintain the programs at no cost.

Jericho, NY, March 16, 2011 — Personal Training Institute (PTI)-Tucson is pleased to announce its Grand Opening event, which is scheduled Saturday, March 26th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 7625 North Oracle Road, Suite 145 at the Oracle Crossing Shopping Center. The Grand Opening event is open to the public. Mrs. Grant of 94.9 MIX FM will be broadcasting from a live remote at the event from 1-3 p.m. Guests can meet PTI trainers, the nutritionist and take part in free trials, free body fast testing and tour the well-equipped facility. The ribbon-cutting will take place at noon and the Northern Pima County Chamber of Commerce will be on hand, as well as Councilman Lou Waters. Complimentary refreshments will be served.

“The PTI combination of strength training and nutrition guidance, provided one-to-one to each member, seems like the perfect fit for the active lifestyle of Southern Arizona.” Craig commented, adding, “Nobody is doing both, and it’s the combination of eating well and exercising that can keep people active and enjoying their lives throughout their careers and into retirement.” PTI programs are designed for clients ranging in age from children and teens through adults and seniors. Programs vary from endurance training and weight loss to strengthening, sculpting and nutritional education. Strong muscles support joints for greater mobility, stability and injury prevention.

“We welcome Craig and Miki Jackson to our dynamic team of PTI franchise owners,” remarked Evan A. Kaplan, President & CEO of Personal Training Institute, which is headquartered in Jericho, NY. “They bring strong business acumen and a passion for PTI.”

Miki and Craig Jackson retired from corporate positions. Craig, who traveled with his job, explained that his weight ballooned to an unhealthy level, which necessitated a substantive life change on his part. Healthy eating, exercise and commitment enabled Craig to lose over 100 pounds over the span of a year. He became a personal trainer and became inspired to open a gym. His goal was to offer a program that delivers the supports – both nutritional and physical – that people need. Before reinventing the wheel, Craig did due diligence and discovered Personal Training Institute. As a trainer, he found a natural fit and appreciated PTI’s quality fitness and nutritional programs. “Some people do horrible, crazy things to lose weight,” Craig said. “People are desperate for guidance, and PTI can deliver results-oriented programs that improve wellness and support a higher quality of life.”

For further information about this location, call Miki or Craig Jackson at, 520-297-8280 or, email them at, tucson@personaltraininginstitute.com.

Jericho, NY, November 19, 2010– Personal Training Institute® (PTI) has been sprinting to a number of events with Subway®, sharing its fitness and nutrition expertise. Two events on November 16^th included a school wellness event, as well as a Subway® employee health fair.

 The Rockville Centre Subway® and PTI partnered to deliver a fitness and nutrition event at Jennie E. Hewitt Elementary School as part of its Nutrition Month. Students sampled healthy sandwiches and enjoyed special fitness activities courtesy of PTI’s personal trainers. The students, grades K through 5, participated in fun fitness activities throughout the day, supervised by PTI certified trainers Rosie Santana and Anthony Paruolo, Fitness Manager. “We were honored to participate with SUBWAY^® at Hewitt School and promote healthy attitudes towards fitness and nutrition,” says Rosie. ”We truly enjoyed spending the day with the children and showed them fun ways to incorporate exercise into their daily lives.”

 PTI was invited by the Human Resources department at Franchise World Headquarters, which hosts an annual health fair for approximately 800 employees at Subway’s

 world headquarters at 325 Bic Drive, Milford, Connecticut. Carol Kur, MSRD, Co/founder of PTI and Dee Mullin, personal trainer and head of PTI’s franchise development and support, were joined by Guilford, Connecticut PTI franchise owner Kim Starbard. They conducted body fat composition analysis and provided nutrition and fitness guidance to attendees.

 “We were really happy to participate in the health fair,” remarked Dee Mullin of PTI. “Subway not only promotes healthy eating to the public, but they also encourage their employees to make positive lifestyle choices that we are only too happy to support. Making good nutritional choices when paired with strength training and a fit lifestyle can really yield wonderful results.”

PTI also joined the Subway® with its fitness and strength training message at Subway’s booth at the ADA (America Dietetic Association) Food & Nutrition Conference & Expo November 8-9 in Boston, Massachusetts. “Everyday we hear about overweight America,” remarked Dee Mullin of PTI. “We were thrilled to join with Subway, a fast food company that is popularizing healthier food options, because we really believe that combining fitness and nutrition yields amazing results.” Ms. Mullin consulted with ADA conferees specifically about strength training, which too few women are doing, as a way to decrease body fat.

 PTI participated with seminars and a booth at the 2010 Subway® Convention July 21-25 at McCormick Place West Convention Center in downtown Chicago, Illinois. “Our participation at this event added a positive dimension,” commented Carol Kur, MSRD, Co/founder of PTI. “Our nutritional message helps validate the positive options Subway provides consumers, and our fitness guidance provides best practices to help people achieve optimum wellness. I feel that PTI made healthy connections!”

Kur conducted body fat analysis and provided nutritional advice for meeting attendees. Four members from a Canadian Subway team (see attached photo L-R) Jim Weatherall, Barb Pineau, (PTI’s Carol Kur, center) Mike Lopez and Steve Green were spurred on to lose weight. The foursome will weigh-in at their Fall Field Meeting and name charities that will benefit from their weight loss. Meeting attendees will have the opportunity to bet on which of the four they think will win the challenge. The final weigh-in is scheduled at the Spring Field Meeting and will determine who wins and which charity will benefit. Kur donated a Tanita® weight scale to this Canadian group.

PTI clients have experienced success because they always receive one-to-one nutritional counseling and personal training that combines strength training with cardio regimens to achieve visible results (see http://www.personaltraininginstitute.com/testimonials.html).
