It’s easy to promise yourself that you’ll be better this year – join a gym, hire a trainer and whip yourself into shape. Always easier said than done – especially when it becomes clear that you don’t actually have the time or resources to do any of that. Le sigh.

But what if we told you that there was an event happening over the weekend (no work) and was free (save those dollars) that could help you get healthier in 2014? Oh yeah, and there are also free snacks – that’s incentive enough for me, anyway.

Well, fortunately BodyScapes Fitness is hosting the first-ever “Healthy Snacks Roadshow” this month. Both Brookline and the Longwood Medical Area gym locations are opening their doors “for a day of snack sampling, raffle giveaways and fitness demonstrations,” according to a release.

The snacks will be provided by some of the healthiest local brands including: Cocomama, LifeForce Juice, Hint Water, Sidehill Farm, Blossom Water, RaeFoods, The Ripe Stuff, Granny Squibb’s, Biena Foods and Jo Jo’s Raw Kitchen.

In addition to free snacking, patrons will also receive a free 3-day workout pass to BodyScapes Fitness. Sounds like a deal to me – free food and free fitness means no more excuses in 2014.

The event is happening from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, January 11 at BodyScapes Fitness in Brookline, and at BodyScapes Fitness in Longwood on Monday, January 13. The Healthy Snacks Roadshow is free and open to the public.
