SuperSlow Zone®, a distinctive health and exercise franchise, announces a strategic partnership with Transitions Lifestyle System™ to merge its healthy- eating and weight-loss program with SuperSlow® strength training

 Orlando, Fla. – August 21, 2008 – SuperSlow Zone® recently teamed up with Transitions Lifestyle System™ to integrate its SuperSlow® strength training protocol with Transition’s™ healthy-eating and fat-loss system.  Combining Transitions™ and SuperSlow® is an optimal exercise and health program for those who are looking to lose a few, or a lot, of unwanted pounds or inches and those with medical concerns that a dedicated workout and diet protocol would substantially help.  People who are interested in achieving their ideal muscle-to-fat ratio will find the integration of these two programs especially valuable.

 Transitions Lifestyle System™ is a scientifically-supported, food-based, educational lifestyle change, which includes natural, non-caffeine supplements to kick start faster weight (fat) loss.  SuperSlow® has been the leading strength training protocol for more than 26 distinguished years.  The SuperSlow® method is an expert-supervised, 20-minute, twice-a-week, strength training protocol that has proven to be the safest, most efficient and effective form of strength training available. SuperSlow Zone’s® clients are men and women of all ages who seek a professional service that delivers maximum results in a minimum amount of time. The addition of Transitions Lifestyle System™ to the SuperSlow® protocol is designed to bolster an already-proven, muscle-building system with the nutritional education and coaching that SSZ clients need to achieve optimal weight, fitness and health.

 Julie Pendry, 26-year Nutrition Education Consultant, is part of the team to kick-start success for each SSZ franchise location as they launch Transitions™ with SuperSlow® Strength training. Two years ago (2006) Julie began incorporating Transitions™ into her own private practice after running a pilot study with a select group of women (either perimenopausal or menopausal) for whom losing weight (fat) had previously remained the illusive dream. Julie determined that if Transitions™ was able to help this group of dedicated women then it was the real deal and would be able to help anyone willing to follow the plan! Needless to say, the pilot study was wildly successful and now Julie has converted almost all of her practice exclusively to the Transitions Lifestyle System™.

 At the SuperSlow Zone® location in Winter Park, Fla., several clients are already utilizing the integration of these two programs.  In six weeks, clients ranging in age from 25 to 59 years old have averaged a loss of 15 pounds each, along with a loss of 3 percent body fat and 12.2 inches.  One of these clients, Deb, a 45-year-old CPA and ex-smoker, said this of her experience,“I have tried many, many exercise programs and diets over the years, but I have never felt so healthy and looked so good due to my last six weeks in this program.”
