Body To Soul Fitness announces new bridal package - Basic Training and Beauty Makeover

Led by Deborah Berkowitz, a personal trainer and licensed cosmetologist, Body To Soul’s new Bridal Basic Training package offers personal training and boutique services for the entire bridal party.

“This is a great way to help the bride and bridal party (as well as mother of the bride) to work off pre-wedding stress and jitters, while getting everyone in great shape before the big day. Then, we complete their look with wedding day hair and make-up,” explained Ms. Berkowitz.

Stress Busting
Ms. Berkowitz meets with the bridal party, evaluates each member and provides a customized workout program designed to help emphasize or de-emphasize specific areas (such as arms or back) according to the design of their gown. Then, the bridal party spends the following eight weeks working out together, and each member focuses on her own customized workout.

Just prior to the big day, Ms. Berkowitz does a trial run of hair design and make-up for the bridal party. On the day of the wedding, Ms. Berkowitz travels to the bride’s location with her boutique services.

“It’s all about getting the bride and bridal party looking and feeling their best. The day of the wedding is extremely stressful and there are always last minute details to attend to. Our on-site wedding day hair and make-up services make everything much more convenient for the bridal party,” she continued.

Ms. Berkowitz has been catering to brides with hair and make-up services for the past six years and was previously a stylist at a Newbury Street salon. She graduated from Blaine Beauty School and is a licensed cosmetologist in the state of Massachusetts. She also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Consumer Studies from University of Massachusetts Amherst.

A “Bridal Basic Training” package for a wedding party of five (which includes the bride) costs $179 per person for Body To Soul gym members and $279 per person for non-members.

According to Deb Forbes, one of Body To Soul’s founders, “Our Bridal Basic Training package really takes a lot of the stress off of the bride. At the end of the eight weeks, she knows she’s going to feel and look great. And, she won’t have to worry about salon appointments for herself and the rest of the bridal party because Deb travels to the bride.”

Ms. Forbes continued, “Our Bridal Basic Training program will also help brides who are just beginning a new life, to become more aware of and focused on total wellness.”

Personal Training for all
Body To Soul offers ongoing personal training to members and non-members. With seven personal trainers on staff, Body To Soul can help women of all ages make healthier food choices and attain their fitness goals.
