Do a 180 on Diabetes. Join the Burn-A-Thon Challenge and Help Us Set a World Record!

In honor of American Diabetes Month®, Gold's Gym is hosting a Burn-a-Thon charity event to help stop diabetes and raise funds for the millions of people worldwide with diabetes. Everyone is invited to come and burn calories on the spin bike, treadmill, or cardio equipment of your choice to help us reach the goal of burning 180 million calories in one day (a world record!). Want to know how many calories you can "pledge" to contribute? Download the calorie burning guide to see all of the ways you can get involved.

Event Information

Gold's Gyms nationwide invite members and non-members alike to come in and burn calories on November 7, 2009. To find your local Gold's Gym location, please visit www.goldsgym.com.

This is an all-day event so come out and ride, run, or climb for an hour or two and raise funds to help stop diabetes! We invite family, corporate and organization teams to sign-up for a healthy day. Set your own goal for the number of calories to burn and funds to raise together: 500 calories and $100 raised per hour will make a big difference for the participants, the community and people with diabetes. To get started, contact your local gym or your local office of the American Diabetes Association.

Companies can sponsor a piece of equipment for the day at select gyms to show their support. By supporting the Burn-A-Thon you'll be giving hope to 24 million people with diabetes and the 57 million with pre-diabetes. You'll also be helping to erase a threat faced by one in three children born today (if current trends continue).
