Ronkonkoma, NY – January 11, 2008, The Hilton Garden Inn Islip/MacArthur Airport today announced it has signed an agreement with Fitness Shadow In Home Personal Training to offer personal training and fitness services to its guests and wedding clients.

Fitness Shadow, a Long Island In-Home Personal Training service offers in home services to those who prefer to workout at home with the guidance of certified personal trainers. Fitness Shadow helps clients lose weight, gain lean tissue, increase energy and confidence without leaving their homes. They are now offering services to brides and travelers in Suffolk County, New York.

According to Fitness Business Pro, travelers who exercise perform 61 percent better than non-exercisers on alertness and reaction tests. Lieberman Research Worldwide also conducted a study that has shown that working out on the road is an excellent way to relieve stress, a powerful antidote for jet lag and good for an individual’s image among business associates.

“We’ve taken an in-home fitness company and industry and are in the midst of branching out to bring fitness to travelers. Only 5% of travelers have the opportunity to work out while on the road, we would like to change that, and we’re starting in our own backyard on Long Island with the Hilton Garden Inn Islip MacArthur Airport,” said Mark Falk, President and Owner of Fitness Shadow.

“We take pride in our ability to give those who prefer someone to come to them, the necessary tools to help them with their fitness goals. Just because someone’s on the road doesn’t mean they need to miss out any longer. We’re very happy to be working with the Hilton Garden Inn and feel our presence there will help expand opportunities for travelers and hotels in the area of fitness,” concluded Mr. Falk.

Paul Delery, General Manager of the Hilton Garden Inn added, “Our hotel realizes and understands the stresses and difficulties that the average business traveler experiences while on the road.  That is why we are always looking for ways to better the guest experience, offering new and creative services while they stay at the Hilton Garden Inn slip/MacArthur Airport.  We look forward to improving the lifestyles of our guests through our relationship with Fitness Shadow.”
