A Boston-area gym is supporting its community by offering its services in an effort to protect residents. After a recent rash of attacks on women in Boston’s North End, Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs is offering a free self defense class for women that is open to the public.
While an offer like this could benefit the gym by encouraging new memberships, it, more importantly, sets the groundwork for building a powerful relationship with the local community. The brand understands what their community is faced with and is doing what it can to help. By offering to share their expertise for free, BHAC has found an honest way to connect with and provide for their neighbors.
Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs to Host a FREE Self Defense Class for Women in Boston’s North End
In light of the recent attacks on women in Boston’s North End, the Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs will be sponsoring a free self defense clinic taking place from 4:00-5:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 85 Atlantic Ave, Boston.
The paradox of self-defense is that the more prepared you are, the less likely you are to need it. When you can recognize and respond effectively to potentially dangerous situations, you are more confident in your every day activities. You are also less likely to become a target of crime. BHAC is also handing out “rape whistles” to its members and North End residents.
This class will be taught by Coach Jeff Burger, a silver medalist in the World Championship for kickboxing. He is a US Marshals Certified Defensive Tactics Instructor among many other certifications.
