New Company, the Green PolkaDot Box™ to Share Affordable Organic Foods Message with Celebrities at 84th Annual Academy Awards Event











Clean and organic foods online membership savings club shares message with celebrities at an Academy Awards celebration over Oscar weekend in Hollywood.


Hollywood, CA & Salt Lake City, UT (PRWEB) February 18, 2012

The Green PolkaDot Box™ (GPDB) Clean and organic foods online membership savings club founder, Rod A. Smith, announced today that the company will share their mission to make healthy products affordable with Oscar Nominees at the GBK Productions Luxury Celebrity Gifting Lounge at the 84th Annual Academy Awards celebration, February 23rd to 26th at the W Hotel, in Hollywood, CA. The Green PolkaDot Box offers the lowest pricing on organic and all-natural foods and products, making healthy living affordable to everyone.

With so many celebrities setting a precedent for buying green and organic, Smith considers the 84th Annual Academy Awards an appropriate venue to share the Green PolkaDot Box quest to educate consumers on the importance of using healthy and “clean” foods and products.

“Celebrities and families agree the time has finally arrived for people who desire to eat healthy to break through the high price barrier that, until now, allowed only the wealthy to enjoy healthful organic and natural foods,” Rod A. Smith said. “We are grateful to the celebrities who will help us celebrate and champion The Green PolkaDot Box quest to deliver healthy food choices at the lowest prices to all families across America.”

The GPDB offers a growing number of over 15,000 products, available up to 60 percent off traditional retail prices. Visit http://www.greenpolkadotbox.com to purchase a membership.

In their quest to make organic products affordable, GPDB is cooperating with some of the nation’s leading consumer associations and Clean Food advocates, including: The Organic Consumers Association, the Hippocrates Health Institute, the Natural Solutions Foundation, Citizens for Health, the National Health and Wellness Club, Natural News, Mission Possible, and others. The GPDB also soon plans to launch the Learning Center of their website in hopes to further educate members about the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle.

The GPDB originated with Smith and his family as a result of their efforts to live healthier after being faced with a diet-related health issue. Their goal to find affordable, organic, and non-Genetically Modified Organism foods and products led to the formation of The Green PolkaDot Box. Recently launched, GPDB delivers affordable “clean” foods and products directly to the homes of their rapidly growing membership of over 12,000. Smith defines clean foods as certified organic foods of all varieties that are 3rd party-verified to be free of Genetically Modified Organisms. The lowest prices on clean foods are now available for members to purchase at http://www.greenpolkadotbox.com.

Over Oscar weekend at the GBK Luxury Celebrity Gifting Lounge, Smith and his family will share their clean foods message with celebrities and Oscar Nominees by presenting them with an array of popular organic, non-GMO and healthy food products in the company’s signature green polka dot box. Visit http://www.greenpolkadotbox.me to see the products given to Academy Awards nominees, or follow Green PolkaDot Box on Facebook.

Health Club takes to the Outdoors with New Running Clubs

Health Club takes to the Outdoors with New Running Clubs











Running Club


(PRWeb UK) July 22, 2010

Virgin Active Health Clubs has launched Running Clubs at its 71 fitness centres across the UK. Inspired by the Virgin London and Brighton marathons, thousands of their health club members are taking to the streets, parks and tracks across the UK every week, making their surroundings into their gym for a fun, effective workout.

Completely free to members of Virgin Active Health Clubs, Running Club sessions are timetabled alongside other weekly gym classes but take place outside of the health clubs themselves, allowing members to keep fit in the open air. Small groups of health club members simply meet at the appointed time and a Personal Trainer or Fitness Coach then leads the group on a running session around the area of their local fitness centre.

Running Clubs start with 5K routes, and are carried out weekly for 6 weeks, meaning stamina is built up and times are recorded in order to track development as the course goes on. As the health club members progress, different running techniques are introduced to further aid and maximise improvements to their times.

There are also 5K sessions for intermediate runners which also follow a 6 week schedule. Thereafter, health club members can choose to progress to run 10K. In addition, there is an 8 week plan for these runners and for advanced runners, as well as gym-goers training specifically for charity runs and races. There is an ‘improvement’ phase for post-10k.

Commenting on the newest fitness initiative from Virgin Active Health Clubs, Gillian Reeves – National Group Exercise Manager said: “Running is a fantastic way to improve general cardiovascular fitness and is a really enjoyable way to workout. Running Clubs have the benefit of offering the motivation and social aspect that exercising in a group offers. Running outdoors, coupled with interval training on a treadmill, is hugely effective as the body experiences different types of motion and terrain which will build stamina and fitness.

With the summer weather, I’m sure that running outdoors, coupled with the added benefit of a professional fitness instructor, will be a big hit with our health club members.”
