Hula Mix Workout - Special Incentive and Promotion

You can win a chance to invite a guest for free

Here is how it works:  Once you have attended 3 Hula Mix Workouts, you are automatically entered into a monthly drawing.  A week before each class a name is drawn.  If yours is selected, you are allowed to invite a guest to attend the next class with you at no additional charge.  You of course must register to attend that class at the standard fee to bring in the free guest.  Plus, your name remains in the drawing each and every month once you have accumulated 3 workshops attendances.  No limit on how many times you can win.  If you have already attended 3 workshops then you are already entered into the monthly drawing.  Good Luck!
