BOCA RATON, FL--(Marketwire - September 12, 2007) - The Harvard Learning Centers, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: HVLN) (the "Company") announced today that its subsidiary, ASAP Athletics, Inc., successfully launched its breakthrough "ASAP 1000" gym-on-wheels, for resistance training of athletes in football, baseball, soccer and other team sports. The "ASAP 1000" enables up to 17 athletes to train simultaneously at a convenient outdoor or indoor location. The device was introduced at the National Franchise & Business Opportunities Expo, Tampa, Florida, September 8/9, where the Company reported high interest and excitement by local trainers/entrepreneurs who could purchase or lease the machine for use with teams, sports leagues and school athletes.
