``Nestle's Acquisition of Jenny Craig Sign Of Future Trend'' Says Cuts Fitness Founder; Introducing ``The Wellness Acquisition Movement''.

CLARK, N.J. -- If John Gennaro's prediction is correct, Nestle's acquisition of Jenny Craig announced today is just the start of a movement towards additional "Wellness Acquisitions" involving companies traditionally positioned outside the industry acquiring wellness focused companies. The president and founder of Cuts Fitness sees today's transaction as a potential "tipping point" towards this trend as leading a healthy lifestyle becomes an increasingly important priority for consumers worldwide.

"There is no better marketing vehicle than showing your customers that you truly care about their personal health," said John Gennaro, president and founder of Cuts Fitness. "Wellness is a topic that is literally in the headlines each and every day and it was only a matter of time before a deal like Nestle-Jenny Craig was announced."

Currently, about 119 million, or 64.5%, of US adults are either overweight or obese. The current weight loss industry market is estimated at $49 billions dollars and growing.

"The rise of obesity and the resulting metabolic disorders, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, is a major public health concern,'' Nestle Chief Executive Officer Peter Brabeck said in a company statement. " With this strategic acquisition, the (Nestle) group takes another important step in its transformation process into a nutrition, health and wellness company."

Cuts Fitness is involved in numerous discussions with companies outside of the wellness industry such as food companies, retailers and other consumer product companies who see similar value in these relationships. "It's a win-win scenario," says Gennaro. "Companies like us have terrific wellness products that need to be heavily marketed and our prospective partners bring this marketing power along with a desire to compliment their current product line."
