Free boot camps scheduled

For the next month, you can help out a great Austin non-profit at the same time you whip your muscles into shape.

Empowered Fitness and The Settlement Home for Children are teaming up to offer free boot camps. The workouts are at 10 a.m. Saturday mornings between Jan. 21 and Feb. 25, in the soccer fields by the lake and playground at Mueller Park in Austin.

Andrea Mendoza, owner and head trainer at Empowered Fitness, will lead the 30-minute boot camps. Pilates instructor and stretching specialist Colleen McCoy will lead the cool-down.

Participants don’t have to pay a fee, but are encouraged to make a donation to The Settlement Home, which helps abused and neglected children and their families.

The non-profit organization needs donations of scrapbook supplies, stuffed animals, blank journals, headphones, batteries, disposable cameras, art supplies, crayons, coloring books, jewelry making kits, cookbooks for children, board games, exercise DVDs, sports balls, nail polish and beauty and haircare products. Monetary donations are also needed.
