Lou Ferrigno and Family Kick Off a Free Fitness and Wellness Program on the Santa Monica Pier Saturday July 12

Online, July 9, 2014 (Newswire.com) - The Santa Monica Pier and the Ferrigno family fitness dynasty have teamed up to present a free six-week wellness program on the Pier every Saturday from July 12-August 16. The series, called Hey There Muscles - Lean Fitness by FerrignoFIT, offers a complete overhaul of mind, body and spirit with classes focused on creating lean muscle and healthy living and eating habits. Classes will be led by acclaimed actor and body builder, Lou Ferrigno, his daughter and business partner, Shanna and the extended family, as well as local experts.

Following the overwhelming success of the Santa Monica Pier Paddleboard Race & Ocean Festival and weekly ROGA (free running + yoga classes), Santa Monica locals demanded another unique fitness program on the Pier, and the Hulk and his family delivered. Hey There Muscles was designed by the Ferrigno family and their team of dietitians and workout gurus to be a 360-health experience from mind to muscle.

The 9 a.m. classes are a free way to shake off a Friday night and discover muscles that have been hiding, perhaps for years. Each week features a different acclaimed FerrignoFIT instructor in a judgment-free environment for all levels. The series is based off the full 12-week Incredibly Fit by FerrignoFIT program, which is a comprehensive fitness program that offers personalized meal plans, workouts, recipes, lifestyle tips and more.

With the sound of the ocean as a backdrop, the West End of the Pier will come alive with interval bodyweight exercises, including stretching, resistance training, weights and kickboxing and nutrition and motivational pep-talks - the smarter way to get fit.

Lou Ferrigno has truly come full circle since arriving in the West Coast in 1976, when he spent a shaky week staying under the iconic Pier before getting signed and launching his fitness career. Since then, Lou has committed to a lean and healthy lifestyle, and passed on these ideals to his children, which has led to the first major father-daughter fitness team.

Hey There Muscles is produced by FerrignoFIT and Generic Events, the Active Lifestyle Programming Curators for the Santa Monica Pier, and sponsored by ISSA. For more information, visit www.HeyThereMuscles.com.
