Bob will be available for a personal book signing prior to the event at the Xcel Fitness - Holladay location at 4:30 p.m. followed by the live event at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available through SmithsTix or at any Xcel Fitness location.

"There is a lot of buzz about weight loss resolutions at this time of year," says Bob Greene, "but the key to long-term success is understanding that great health and fitness begins with the right state of mind."

This event kicks off 'Eight to Great', an eight-week line-up of talks and sessions delivered by fitness celebrities, hosted by Xcel Fitness for its members and the greater Salt Lake Community.

"We believe that people need professional support and advice to accomplish their health and fitness goals," says Josh Smith, CEO of Xcel Fitness. "Statistics tell us that over 82% of people who join a gym quit within six weeks if they don't receive professional assistance. So we thought, why not bring them the best in the industry so we can help them beat those odds."

Bob Greene is one of America's leading authorities on fitness and weight loss. He is an exercise physiologist and a certified personal trainer who has appeared on The Today Show, Oprah, CNN, Dateline NBC, Good Morning America, and dozens of other national and local television programs.

The Eight to Great speaker series presents the following upcoming events:
* Linda Shelton, Editor of Shape Magazine
* Kathy Smith, Home Fitness Legend
* Douglas Brooks, The Personal Trainer's Trainer.
