Washington, D.C., March 1, 2012 – Hall Ass Racing is proud to announce their partnership with Crunch Fitness in Washington DC for the 2012 racing season.
Crunch Fitness will provide Emme Hall, the principle driver of the Hall Ass Racing 2 seat 1600cc desertrace car, with personal training sessions as she prepares for the upcoming season.
“Anyone who thinks race car drivers are not athletes have never tried to control a car moving at high speeds through rocks, ruts, and silt,” said Hall. “I may not be able to hit a homerun, spike a volleyball, or make a free throw, but trust me, after a race I am beat. I need flexibility to climb into the car from the top while wearing a firesuit, gloves, head and neck restraint, and helmet, upper body strength for car control and to get the spare tire off the back and changed quickly, and cardio stamina to keep my heart from racing at the starting line!”
Bryan Bullock, General Manager of the downtown DC Crunch Fitness, is also excited about partnering with Hall Ass Racing. “Emme is a fixture at the gym already. I’m looking forward to working with her and seeing her grow in her fitness levels, and we know she will be a great brand ambassador for us.”
