UXBRIDGE, MA, October 02, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Fitness EM and SHAPE Magazine continue to expand their line of dedicated products designed to meet the fitness training needs of today's women. The latest addition in the product series was inspired by the SHAPE Pilates for Pink fundraising event and includes the Limited Edition Pilates/yoga mat, the Pilates Home Workout Kit, and the Pilates Body Shaping Kit. Sales of these products will contribute towards Fitness EM's $10,000 donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

The Pilates for Pink workout kits feature home exercise tools designed to improve body tone, balance, flexibility and strength in minimum time with incredibly fun, effective Pilates-style routines for all fitness levels. The products feature workouts designed by the magazine's expert trainers and editorial staff and also include a free 1-year subscription to SHAPE Magazine.

"Five years ago, SHAPE developed Pilates for Pink, a special awareness campaign and fundraising initiative in support of BCRF which has helped us raise over $580,000 for the cause," said Editor-in-Chief of SHAPE Valerie Latona. "We are excited to expand the program with Fitness EM to include the Pilates for Pink workout products that provide our readers with the tools to help them Get Fit and Give Back."

"The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is proud of the long-standing partnership with SHAPE Magazine through their Pilates for Pink program," said Robbie Finke Franklin, BCRF Director of Marketing. "Partnering with SHAPE to promote the importance of exercise was a natural synergy and underscores BCRF's mission of prevention and a cure for breast cancer in our lifetime. We are thrilled to have the support from Fitness EM with the SHAPE Pilates for Pink home fitness equipment."

"Fitness EM is excited to partner with SHAPE and BCRF for this important cause," said Donna Savage, President and co-founder of Fitness EM. "We are glad we can use our product innovation in a way to raise money towards a cure while providing products to women seeking a healthy, active lifestyle."
