A local gym is helping families with loved ones serving overseas.

World Gym on East Avenue in Rochester is offering complimentary memberships to family members of deployed reservists and National Guard members. It's part of a program introduced by First Lady Michelle Obama to keep military families healthy.

"Considering the people in the military do for us for us to have our freedom, the very least we can do is give back to the families and the people who are sacrificing for us," said World Gym owner Ron Sember.

Immediate family members of deployed reservists and National Guard members can sign up at World Gym for their 6-month free membership.
