Tommy Vas, Fit By the First, and Fitness Matters in Connecticut

Posted by Robb

One of our retailers in southwest Connecticut — Stamford-based Fitness Matters — recently hooked up with a local radio station disc jockey — Tommy Vas of 96.7 The Coast — to raise awareness of a new fitness program aimed at helping people get in shape before the first of the year.

“Fit By the First,” a three-and-a-half month program that started in early-September, is based on a simple yet compelling premise: Why wait for New Year’s Eve to start a new year’s resolution; why not go into the new year with a new you? When local radio personality Tommy Vas (pictured left) heard about Fit By the First, he signed up; and, when he was looking for a healthy nutrition bar to help sustain his goals, the good folks at Fitness Matters turned him onto the award-winning line of PureFit Nutrition Bars.

Here’s wishing Tommy and everyone else participating in Fit By the First the best of luck in reaching their health and fitness goals. The last time we checked, Tommy had lost six (6) pounds and 2.5% body fat, and his waist size had shrunk nearly three inches. You can follow Tommy Vas‘ progress in Fit By the First on his 96.7 The Coast Blog.

Hey guys,

Thanks for putting me on your blog. I can’t tell how great that I have been feeling since I started my workout sessions. I never thought that I could have felt about myself as good as I do. Since I am the morning guy here at the radio station I start my day very early. Every morning around 4:30 I start my day with a PureFit Nutrition Bar (my favorite is the Peanut Butter). It has really helped in my goal to be FIT BY THE FIRST of the new year. I will keep in touch. By the way I have lost 3.5% body fat since I started the program.

Talk to you soon,

Tommy

Hey there ,

I had another weigh in on Friday Dec 5th…I have lost another 5 lbs., my body fat has gone down a total of 5% from 24 to 19, and I am feeling great. I owe a big part of this to Purefit Nutrition Bars… I have one every morning for breakfast and usually after my workouts. I have been doing my Fit By The First Program at Fitness Matters in Stamford CT. My program is almost over, but that doesn’t mean I will stop working out, eating healthy and taking my Purefit Nutrition Bars. My final weigh in is on Dec 19 I will give you my full stats at that time. Thanks again Purefit and I can’t wait to see them in stores in Connecticut.

Welcome to the PureFit Blog! I'm Robb Dorf, founder and CEO of PureFit, Inc., an Irvine, California-based company I started in the summer of 2000 dedicated to making the highest quality, all-natural, gluten-free, 40/30/30 nutrition bars on the planet.

Like many people I know, I'm health conscious and concerned about what I eat. The first-hand knowledge I've gained over the years (in the process of training for and competing in various athletic competitions) has proven to be invaluable in my pursuit of the ideal nutrition bar.

Personally, I grew up in Sylvania, Ohio, and started long-distance running at the ripe age of 12. To this day, you can find me running, biking, hiking, or doing something else related to human-powered outdoor recreation on nearly a daily basis.
