STRENFLEX WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS in KIEV, Ukraine

The second World Championships of the fitness sport STRENFLEX will take place from September 10th to 12th 2003 during the “Spa, Health & Fitness” fair in Kiev. This will be the first major international STRENFLEX championship to be held in eastern Europe and it has been endorsed by the Ukrainian government. Due to its similar objectives STREN FLEX, the fitness industry sport, was invited to appear in tandem with the Ukrainian “Spa, Health & Fitness Expo”, a major international event in the continuously growing and up-com ing industry of Europe’s second largest countries. We are now calling upon gym owners, managers and instructors worldwide to accelerate their efforts in motivat ing their members to participate in the World Championships and to give them an opportunity to qualify. For those

who don’t have time to prepare and for anyone from the fitness industry who is interested, there is always the option to travel to Kiev as a spectator and experi ence the real excitement of the emerging Ukrainian and eastern European mar kets “live”. (See enclosed poster - page 35 - to fill out your registration) The size of this market and the level of interest in fitness and sport is reflected in a workshop that was held in the run-up to these World Championships - there were more than 120 participants at the STRENFLEX BASIC workshop and 25 participants on the referee course. Impressive numbers indeed! Further more, a press conference was organised purely for the STRENFLEX World Championships and all of the important media names were there to report and provide coverage. Take good note - we are now entering the “STRENFLEX era.” Be there too!
