MyBinding.com Partners with Local Gym Boom Fitness to Provide an Employee Fitness Program

MyBinding.com and Boom Fitness PDX are pairing together to create a first-ever Fitness Program for MyBinding.com employees

2012-04-21

HILLSBORO, OR, April 21, 2012 (Press-News.org) MyBinding.com, one of the country's leading retailers of document finishing machines and supplies, is partnering with Boom Fitness to provide their employees with a fitness program.

"The health of our employees is very important to us," said Jeff McRitchie, Vice President of Marketing for MyBinding.com. "Many of our employees sit for most of the day and we wanted a way to help our staff stay active."

McRitchie joined Boom Fitness for personal reasons and brought several employees along with him. As more employees joined, the two companies decided to work together. Employees at MyBinding.com mainly do office-related tasks and many of them sit for much of the day. With the new agreement between these two companies, MyBinding.com is giving their employees the chance to join a fitness club through a special deal, making it accessible to everyone.

"Boom Fitness is a great gym at a reasonable price," said McRitchie. "They offer a variety of services that we hope our employees will take advantage of."

Boom Fitness has been serving the Portland area for the last few years. They currently have two locations, one in the Tualatin and one in Beaverton, not far from the MyBinding.com Hillsboro office. Boom Fitness members enjoy working out on a full range of cardio and weight machines. They also offer a wide variety of classes, personal training sessions, tanning beds, a sauna and a steam room, a licensed massage therapist, and on-site childcare.

"We are really excited to work with MyBinding.com," said Tom Carter, Operations and Membership Manager for the Tanasbourne Boom Fitness. "We hope to give their employees the best gym experience by making fitness an affordable priority. In return, their memberships keep our business healthy and able to grow."

A fitness program is a benefit that more and more companies are providing their employees. MyBinding.com and Boom Fitness are both excited for this new partnership between them. As Boom Fitness is a relatively young business, they are reaching out to smaller organizations who might be willing to join with them as well.

"We are trying to reach out to other businesses but it can be challenging," said Carter. "I think what we are offering is a great deal and I hope it takes off."

MyBinding.com is a division of Information Management Services, LLC. The company is based in Hillsboro, Oregon, and offers the Internet's largest selection of binding equipment, laminators, and document finishing devices and supplies. For more information, they can be reached at 1-800-944-4573. Their blog, located at http://www.MyBindingBlog.com, also contains information about the company and the products they sell.

Lizard moms may prepare their babies for a stressful world

2012-04-21

Stressed out lizard moms tend to give their developing embryos short shrift, but the hardship may ultimately be a good thing for the babies once they're born, according to a study published in the journal Physiological and Biochemical Zoology. Stress changes the way animals allocate energy. During predator attacks or food shortages, hormones are released that help the body to access stored energy. But for pregnant females there's a potential trade-off. Stress hormones could rob precious energy from developing embryos, leading to offspring that aren't as healthy. A research ...

Concerns about MRSA for expectant mothers may be unfounded

2012-04-21

The need to swab the noses of pregnant women and newborns for the presence of MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) may be unfounded, according to a Vanderbilt study now available online and published in the May issue of Pediatrics. The study's senior author, Buddy Creech, M.D., MPH, assistant professor of Pediatrics, said it is often feared that mothers carrying MRSA may risk transmitting an infection to their newborn babies, but Vanderbilt Pediatric Infectious Diseases researchers found that babies rarely became ill from MRSA infections, despite frequently ...

Launch of Independent Theatre Review Website Could Change the Face of the London Stage by Giving the Public a Voice

2012-04-21

WasThatGood recently announced the launch of a new website meant to offer the public an arena to voice their opinions of the London theatre. The site is designed to fill a gap in a niche where misreporting and sycophancy abound and, as such, offers theatre-goers not only a fair assessment of various productions by their peers but also a venue to air their own opinions without censure. In the age of information, it is surprising that people who enjoy the London stage and all it has to offer have little choice when it comes to finding honest and transparent reviews on ...

Teen seat belt use is significantly higher in states with stronger laws

2012-04-21

Philadelphia– While most teens do buckle up when driving, new research shows that novice teen drivers who live in states with so-called "secondary enforcement" seat belt laws are less likely to use the life-saving devices than those in "primary enforcement" states. The research, conducted by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and State Farm®, is published in the American Journal of Public Health. The research found seat belt use rates differed as teens moved through the probationary licensing process known as Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL). A primary seat ...

Stable electrodes for improving printed electronics

2012-04-21

Imagine owning a television with the thickness and weight of a sheet of paper. It will be possible, someday, thanks to the growing industry of printed electronics. The process, which allows manufacturers to literally print or roll materials onto surfaces to produce an electronically functional device, is already used in organic solar cells and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) that form the displays of cellphones. Although this emerging technology is expected to grow by tens of billions of dollars over the next 10 years, one challenge is in manufacturing at low cost ...

Scientists find that neurological changes can happen due to social status

2012-04-21

ATLANTA — Researchers at Georgia State University have discovered that in one species of freshwater crustaceans, social status can affect the configuration of neural circuitry. They found that dominant and subordinate crayfish differ in their behavioral responses when touched unexpectedly, and that those differences correlate with differences in neural circuits that mediate those responses. The article was published this week in the Journal of Neuroscience. The research team included Edwards, Fadi A. Issa and Joanne Drummond of Georgia State, and Daniel Cattaert of ...

Political blogging on the right and the left

2012-04-21

Los Angeles, CA (April 19, 2012) As presidential candidates from both parties gear up for the big day in November, more and more people are turning to political blogs to provide them with the latest news on the election-front. A new study released in the American Behavioral Scientist (published by SAGE) examined the differences among top political blogs from the right and the left and found that left-wing blogs encourage more user participation, present more opinion-related content, and were more likely to rally their readers to action. The authors wrote, "The left is ...

Study finds cancer-fighting goodness in cholesterol

2012-04-21

A Simon Fraser University researcher is among four scientists who argue that cholesterol may slow or stop cancer cell growth. They describe how cholesterol-binding proteins called ORPs may control cell growth in A Detour for Yeast Oxysterol Binding Proteins, a paper published in the latest issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry. The scientists came to their conclusion while trying to understand how cholesterol moves around inside cells in the fat's journey to cell surfaces where it reinforces their outer membrane. "The assumption was that ORPs bind and transport ...
