Dear Students,

We are happy to be a part of the new facility that will be opening at your school. Getting our youth involved in physical fitness is our goal! We are currently looking at different pieces of equipment that we will be incorporating into your new facility. Our main focus right now is on the various selections of weight bearing cardiovascular machines that is highly recommended at your age to help build bone strength and help prevent bone density loss like osteoporosis later in the future. Please revise the list of equipment and arrive to a solution to help us select the best cardio machine.

Sincerely, Blake Fit
