What are you doing this weekend?
Do you think Manteca has too many fast food places and not enough places to stay in shape? This weekend will change the equation and shift the balance towards the healthy options. Dirty Fitness, a new kid on the 100 block of West Yosemite Avenue block on the alley behind Century Furniture, will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, August 1, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Check out the freshly remodeled studio, try healthy food samples from Prep For Success Meals or supplements from GNC and get a deal when you sign up for personal training, boot camp classes and meal plans. The owner and NPC Figure Competitor Rose Bartlett will be on hand, as well as some of the Nor Cal Angels and their positive energy will make you want to work out! Price: FREE

Another day, another healthy addition to Manteca, this time on the tasty side. The grand opening for a new Hi-Five nutrition on West Yosemite Avenue is set for Saturday morning at the Manteca Marketplace center, in the former location of Rooster Juice. Hi-Five nutrition will high-five your taste buds with healthy “fast foods” that manage to shrink your appetite and be good for you at the same time. Their favorites are Vanilla and Peanut Butter, Pay Day and PB & Jelly – all boasting a maximum 220 calories, some as low as 140 calories, with 21 different vitamins. If you work out at the nearby InShape gym, you should definitely stop post-workout and get a healthy energy lift. Your body will say “yummy.” Price: FREE Learn more at http://www.mantecabulletin.com/section/18/article/126541/
