As the contest season breaks the silence of winter, it’s with great enthusiasm that athletes come out of hibernation and tip toe into the contest preparation phase ready to pursue their individual goals for the new year.
Paul Dillett’s WBFF BC Championships were exactly what was needed to wake an industry that has been lulled by months of the same old. When you awaken the sleeping giant, everyone takes notice and on April 17th, the fitness industry welcomed the second installment of the show that sets the precedent for the remainder of the year. Start with the best, and follow through to end with the best – WBFF Worlds in mid September. In the meantime, keep an eye on the activity that will once again uproot the status quo.
Status Fitness Magazine was in the house big time in Vancouver. Adding to an already incredible event, Status Fitness elevated the show factor by presenting award winning singing sensation Rosette. Rosette rocked the house with her Juno nominated song Crushed and followed it up with Ditzy Girl, a new single that will inevitably be a chart contender in the next while. An avid reader of Status Fitness, Rosette was sure to admit that it’s her favorite fitness publication.
Hundreds of copies of Status Fitness were put in the hands of athletes and sport fans over the weekend and the prestigious Status Fitness Girls of the WBFF Calendar was showcased and given out to excited competitors, some of which may be considered for our next exciting calendar. The popularity of this venture has been astounding… an amazing project that both Rodney Jang, Editor-in-Chief, and myself put into motion at the 2009 WBFF World Championships.

After the WBFF BC Championships, the Status Fitness tradition continued on Sunday, as we held our popular Day of Recognition that saw 25 athletes photographed at Golds Gym Richmond. Curtis Trudeau men’s overall winner, photographed at this event, is featured in our next issue on shelves in the next few weeks. On Monday, Status Fitness held the Surf n’ Sand Shoot which included the new fitness model sensation Svetlana Romanova. Watch for more of Svetlana in Status over the next few issues.
Now it’s time for preparation for the WBFF Alberta Championships!! The enthusiasm is mounting. This will likely be the biggest show of the year outside of the WBFF World Championships. Once again it kicks off the Calgary Stampede which is considered the greatest outdoor show on earth!! Without much exaggeration, you can be sure the WBFF Alberta show will be the greatest indoor show in Calgary on July 3 as the show takes over the Martha Cohen Theatre at the Epcor Centre for the Performing Arts.
Status Fitness will be present in Calgary in a big way once again. July 4th is the Status Fitness Day of Recognition where many of the top athletes will be selected for shoots for exciting upcoming projects and features. If you’re competing, then you could be one of the lucky ones selected by myself and Rodney Jang.
All the best to you as you prepare for the big Alberta show!! We look forward to covering the event and providing the best opportunities to many of the athletes involved.
In health & fitness,
David
