each and every one of us improve the
lives of our fellow community." said

another planned, people are calling us asking, when is the
next one?'" said Gregory-Phillips.
The event's success has been attributed to a number of
factors. Gregory-Phillips believes the all-female environ

"You can come here and wear what you want to; Nobi>d>
is looking at your size or staring at you." she said.
Keeping the event lively and diverse is also key. The

to occupy their
time with a variety
of exercise
options. While the
group exercise ses
sions, which
included Zumba
and African dance,
were the most pop
ular, some women
used the gym's
indoor track to
walk laps while the
others got busy on
the gym's floor.
The vendors that
set up shop on the
edge of the gym
floor were also a
big draw. They
sold everything
from beauty prod

nutrition items.
Janet Novas
Jones, a registered
nurse, , sold
Herbalife. a popular line of diet products that she says
helped her shed 73 pounds in 99 days.
"I did this eight years ago, and have kept it off," Novas
Jones told attendees as she served them samples of Herbalife
tea. one of the line's most popular products.
Gregory^Phillips says she sees no reason to stop hosting
Ladies Night Out events. Participants and vendors appear
more excited about the event than ever, and any opportunity
to promote health and wellness should be taken advantage
of. she says. ? A
