“Love Weight” is the popular term that describes the scientific finding that relationships bring extra eating and weight gain. This Valentine’s Day, Urban Active sheds light on relationship weight gain and how to effectively lose weight, all while building a better relationship. Being single does not prevent weight gain, friends and their eating/exercise habits are cited as a culprit as well. To combat weight gain this February, Urban Active is offering a free personal training session for couples, or a free seven day pass for singles, to jumpstart the month of love.

One study from the Obesity Society found that young women who were dating gained an average of 15 pounds over five years, women who were cohabiting but not married gained 18 pounds and the newly married gained 24 pounds. The New England Journal of Medicine published a study, “Obesity is Contagious” where having an overweight friend makes you 57 percent more apt to gain weight.

Urban Active is offering couples a free personal training session (applies only for first time users for both members or non-members) and a complimentary seven day pass for singles (non-members). For more information, visit www.urbanactive.com.
