Boutique offering free matinee memberships

Lawrence’s Body Boutique is joining a national initiative to keep teens active during the summer.

According to the U.S. Surgeon General, only 25 percent of teens are active for the recommended 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

“Teen Fitness Connection” was launched by International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association.

It is designed to introduce exercise to teens by offering free summer matinee memberships.

Body Boutique is among 80 health clubs that have joined the effort.

It will open its club for free to teenage girls, ages 13-18, between 1:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

The free program will be offered from May 27 to Aug. 15.

To register for the program, stop by Body Boutique, 2330 Yale Road.
