“TRAIN LIKE A TRIBUTE” WITH A NEW WORKOUT FROM BOSTON SPORTS CLUBS AND “THE HUNGER GAMES”

Boston Sports Clubs are launching the hot new "Train Like a
Tribute" workout, using movie-inspired functional training moves to torch
fat, incinerate calories, and set your muscles on fire.   



A continuation of BSC's 2012 Hunger Games-inspired
workout, “Train Like a Tribute 2013" subscribes to The Hunger
Games
' "survival of the fittest" mentality, utilizing BSC's green
turfed UXF Zone "jungle" to create the ultimate athlete.
Participants will navigate their way around a clock of 12 fitness
challenges -- from dodging attack monkeys, to scaling Heavensbee Hills, to
wielding the Peacekeeper battle ropes -- switching stations each time the Head
Game Maker strikes the gong.
