The Pearland Town Center is set to host the Weight Watchers Walk-It Day 5K event on Sunday, June 6, 2010. Team up with your friends and family for this invigorating Weight Watchers walk and kick off your summer exercise program. 

Whether you are a Weight Watchers member looking for interesting ways to earn activity points or just a local resident interested in meeting like-minded health enthusiasts, this is the perfect event for you. Weight Watchers reminds us that “gym memberships are often expensive, treadmills are tedious and working out alone can be boring. Now that spring is here, challenge your stale routine and try something new.” 

In addition to the Walk-It Day, Pearland Parks and Recreation offers many outdoor activities year-round that are entertaining and inexpensive. So grab your strollers and children, you mom or even your neighbor for a fun time geared to improve your heart health and overall well being.

Visit RRCA.org/Programs/Walk-It-Day/Pearland for more information and to register for the walk.

For most of his life Les Wincher has been involved in sports, from playing football at Dobie High School, to being a collegiate tight end for Texas-El Paso, and moving into the ‘pro ranks’ for the NFL in Europe and Canada, to getting his Bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. Now he is bringing his love and expert knowledge of sports and training to Pearland with Athletic Dreams training facility.

Wincher was inspired by Pearland’s love of sports and decided to open his new business in the thriving and growing city. The 16,000 sq ft facility at 3216 Broadway in Pearland used to be a 99 Cent Store, but what the building now houses for athletes is priceless. Athletic Dreams is a unique training facility created to help people of all ages, at all levels, and in every area of sports fitness.

Athletic Dreams will have a dietician on site, along with a nutritionist and personal trainers. “Our trainers have athletic backgrounds, a couple of our trainers played for the UCLA in volleyball, one played with Colorado in football. They have the background, they know what it takes to be the best, and that’s what I want to bring,” Wincher shared. Most employees will be subcontracted with five full time employees. These are all the tools that anybody would need to lose weight, gain muscle, to tone up, and “to be more explosive” as Wincher puts it.
