Fashion Centre at Pentagon City to launch Walk-Fit walking program Tuesday, May 3

ARLINGTON, VA (May 1, 2016) – Steps are being taken to implement a new wellness initiative at Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. The Walk-Fit walking program, set to launch Tuesday, May 3, will now give the community an opportunity to exercise at Arlington’s premier shopping mall. Recognizing the many benefits of walking and importance of overall physical health, mall management is pleased to provide shoppers with a safe, quiet and climate-controlled environment to practice their fitness regimens.

“We’ve welcomed mall walkers at Fashion Centre at Pentagon City for years,” said Todd Jerscheid, director of marketing and business development for Fashion Centre at Pentagon City. “Offering a comfortable and quality environment has always been a big commitment of ours. The Walk-Fit program is just an official way for walkers to meet up, exercise, socialize and even enjoy a morning cup of coffee!”

To officially introduce the Walk-Fit program, management at Fashion Centre at Pentagon City will team up with Virginia Hospital Center to host a special launch event on Tuesday, May 3. Walkers will receive complimentary water bottles and Greek yogurt snacks, as well as branded lanyards. Virginia Hospital Center will also be onsite to demonstrate cool down techniques for walkers to utilize after their morning workout.

Open to all ages and fitness levels, the Walk-Fit program will provide shoppers with a means of exercise in a comfortable indoor environment. Management at Fashion Centre at Pentagon City understands the value of daily routines and plans to grant walkers early access to the mall, allowing ample time to complete and enjoy a morning workout. Mall walker entry is located on the Ground Level Parking Garage Entrance near Nordstrom on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. As an added convenience, program participants will also receive discounts to select retailers including Finish Line, Rockport and The Walking Company.

This year has seen many changes for Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, as it recently finished its interior renovation and is currently undergoing a 50,000 square foot expansion. As the project nears its late summer completion date, shoppers can expect to find numerous retailer and restaurant additions, including the recently announced Zara, Shake Shack, Garrett Popcorn and NYX Professional Cosmetics.

“Fashion Centre at Pentagon City is continually striving to evolve and offer the best experience for our shoppers,” said Jerscheid. “The Walk-Fit program – combined with our renovation project – allows us to uphold that commitment to the community. Whether it’s dining, shopping or even working towards a fitness goal, we’re pleased to provide a variety of offerings for returning guests and traveling visitors alike.”
