Guerilla Fitness Fight Gone Bad Benefits American Troops and Cancer Patients

Guerrilla Fitness Raises $56,886 to Participate in Fight Gone Bad IV Fundraiser

Event Benefits American Troops and Cancer Patients

MONTCLAIR, NJ, SEPTEMBER 29, 2008 -- When Montclair resident and CrossFit participant Jon Feigelson stepped up for his 17 minutes of the Fight Gone Bad workout on September 26th, he wasn’t competing just for himself. He was raising funds for the Wounded Warrior Project, benefiting wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq, and Athletes for a Cure, which supports prostate cancer research.

“Guerrilla Fitness was proud to participate in this event,” says Gregg Arsenuk, Guerrilla Fitness’s Owner. “We are proud of Jon who is the number one fundraiser in the country and alone raised $34,481.  Along with our loyal member base Guerrilla Fitness collectively raised $56,886 for American Troops and Cancer Patients.”

In the first three editions of the Fight Gone Bad fundraising event CrossFit Affiliates raised more than $1.4 million. Fight Gone Bad is one of the most brutal workouts on the CrossFit menu, and the members of Guerrilla Fitness anted up for the challenge. “Guerrilla Fitness is a strong, supportive, and dedicated group of athletes, who when given a chance to help others in the community will do so in a big way” Arsenuk adds.

Fight Gone Bad took place on Saturday September 26^th at Guerrilla Fitness in Montclair and at more than 300 CrossFit Affiliates throughout the United States. Guerrilla Fitness had 37 athletes participate.

“Through their generosity and commitment, CrossFit athletes are making the most of a great fundraising opportunity,” said Scott Zagarino, Executive Director of The Sportsgrants Foundation. “These athletes are taking their training to a higher level by providing much-needed support for our troops and the more than 2 million American families dealing with prostate cancer.”

Gregg Arsenuk and  Jon Feigelson are available for interviews to discuss Guerrilla Fitness’s involvement in Fight Gone Bad, how in a tough economy they were able to raise significant money and Guerilla Fitness’s unique outlook on exercise.

New Way to Promote Your Business

Small businesses have been hit hard by the current economy.  Studies going back to the 1890's have shown that businesses that advertise in "down" economies either hold or increase their market share and businesses that don't lose market share.  So smart business people know that they have to keep advertising.  The question is how?  Newspaper readership is way down.  Traditional magazines are losing readers even faster than newspapers.  Radio, TV?  What small business can afford those?

The Internet Answer

The internet provides an opportunity to "level the playing field".  At least it appears that way.  Finally, a small local business can have a website, just like a major national or international company.  The problem is, a website is nothing without visitors or "traffic".  Having a website, is like having a store on some back alley on a dead end street behind the rail road tracks.  If nobody ever goes down that street, nobody will ever find your store.  Well, if you're not promoting your website, nobody will ever find your website.  If your site is not designed properly, people will visit it once and never come back.  

Moving to 5th Ave.

Of course if you had the choice and if rent were exactly the same, you'd rather have your store on 5th Ave in NYC than at the end of an alley on a dead end street.  One of the easiest and most cost effective ways to get more "traffic" to your website is through Google, the largest search engine in the world.  People type in a word that has to do with your business, say "take out pizza" or "clock repair" or "furniture"  whatever product or service you provide and Google helps them find you.  The problem is that right now, Google really helps them find national companies or competitors who have more money than you do.  Google ranks sites by popularity, so if you compete with Sears, chances are Sears is going to come up ahead of you. They are national, you are local.  Millions of people may visit the Sears website in a day, while only 20 might visit yours in a week.

So once again the small business owner is left out in the cold right?  Wrong!  Thanks to a company called AdzZoo there is now a way for the small business to become the big winner on Google.  AdzZoo takes small businesses and guarantees them the first page on Google ad searches in their own local market in a 5, 10, 20, 50 or 100 mile radius from their business location.  They build a specially coded landing page for you that can link to your current web page, if you have one, or serve as your website (if you don't have a site yet).  They also place key words on Google adwords to get you your best placement with ads and they monitor the results to keep you on page one all the time.  You can actually beat national companies in your own market.  Most people only go to the first page of Google when the do a search so if your website does not come up on page one of Google, you are wasting money.  If you come up on page one, you are going to get more business.

Cash for Clunkers

The government programs "Cash for Clunkers" has been running for one week.  In that time, it has been successful but now there are reports that the government may suspend it because they are running out of money and they did not plan for the success.

How would you like to be on the operating table if the government takes over health care?  So far the stimulus package did not work as they planned, cash for clunkers has worked but they can't handle success and now they want to take over health care.  

Maybe they should just concentrate of fixing the economy (or getting out of the way of the economy).
