Body Bar Exchange Program Expanded

Now Includes Home Users and All Brands of Weighted Bars

BOULDER, Colo. –  September 22, 2008 -   Body Bar Systems, Inc., a premier fitness company specializing in products and educational tools for fitness enthusiasts of all ages and abilities, announced today that its Body Bar Exchange program has been expanded to include home users and copy brands, reinforcing the company’s commitment to recycling its steel-based products.

Now extended to home users along with fitness club customers, the Body Bar Exchange program provides users with new Body Bar brand weighted bars at a fraction of the original cost, in exchange for any brand weighted bar, including competitor “knockoff” bars.

“Although Body Bars have been on the market for 21 years, they do not typically collect dust in a corner,” commented Timothy Riley, managing director, Body Bar Systems. “Our Body Bar community is very enthusiastic about using their bars, and after extended use, the comfortable rubber encasing the steel can get a bit worn.  Body Bar Exchange is a great opportunity to exchange bars for new ones at a significant discount. Plus, recycling the steel is environmentally responsible.”

The following users can participate in the Body Bar Exchange program:

-        Users owning bars from another manufacturer who would prefer to exchange for the superior quality of the Body Bar Classic or Body Bar Flex

-        Users owning Body Bar branded weighted bars or Body Bar Flex bars that are warn.

-        Users who would like to exchange their current weighted bar for a different weight.

Kris Freewoman, group exercise director at the Parkpoint Health Club in Santa Rosa, CA www.parkpointhealthclub.com, recently participated in the Body Bar Exchange program.  “It was a breeze,” she commented. “The program is super easy. The new Body Bars were shipped very expediently and then we just re-used the boxes to ship back our old bars. I'm very glad to see recycling happening with fitness equipment.  I commend Body Bar Systems for being an earth-responsible company! “

Users interested in exchanging their bars can email exchange@bodybar.com for a quote or call 800-500-2030.
