Bayonne woman wins a day with Denise Austin

Well, we didn’t all know who she is, either, but you might! And heck, the prize also includes a spa getaway!
Annmarie Beckmann of Bayonne, N.J., has been named grand prize winner in Rite Aid’s “Win a Day with Denise Austin” sweepstakes. Beckmann and a guest will be escaping to the Lansdowne Resort in Lansdowne, Va., this week for a free three-day, two-night luxury spa getaway, including spa treatments and a personal work-out session with Denise Austin, America’s favorite fitness expert.
Beckmann was one of the thousands of Rite Aid customers nationwide who entered the contest in January as part of Rite Aid’s weight management campaign. To further bolster Americans in the battle of the bulge, Rite Aid distributed thousands of free 16-page guides including tips for making health and fitness a part of everyday routines, fitness strategies, nutrition and Austin’s own seven-minute strength building routine, including step-by-step instructions and illustrations.
“We’re thrilled for our winner,” said John Learish, Rite Aid senior vice president of marketing. “We hope Denise’s energy is an inspiration in the quest for a healthy lifestyle.”
