Popular SICFIT Brand Showcases Fitness as a Sport to Broader Audience

Any Athlete Can Win Cash by Demonstrating “SIC” Lifestyle Through Videos, Photos or Blogs

Phoenix, AZ, December 12, 2011 --(PR.com)-- SICFIT, a popular website for CrossFit enthusiasts, is expanding its global brand to engage all lovers of sport and fitness through a website re-launch and “30 Days of the SICest Content” contest. New owners Najla Kayyem and Jonathan Kaufman will build upon SICFIT’s successful brand to provide new opportunities for existing and future SICFIT subscribers. In addition, SICFIT will showcase real individuals’ SIC lifestyles through SICflicks (videos fueled by PROGENEX), photo and blog submissions to be featured on the redesigned site. Prize money and regional correspondent contracts will be awarded to several winners.

“While our main focus continues to be on providing CrossFit enthusiasts comprehensive real-time coverage, user-generated content and the latest industry news, we know other athletes share our passion for fitness,” explains SICFIT CEO Najla Kayyem. “We want to showcase this desire to push beyond the ordinary through our ‘30 Days of the SICest Content’ contest where any athlete, regardless of sport, can share their accomplishments and fitness feats.”

The “30 Days of the SICest Content” contest kicks off December 12 for CrossFitters, yogis, triathletes, snowboarders and other athletes to share their lifestyle and passion for fitness. Participants have until January 10 at noon to upload a SICflick, photo or blog.

· SICflicks fueled by PROGENEX: Capture your SICFIT lifestyle in 120 seconds or less. You may submit raw video or production-quality original footage to this contest sponsored by PROGENEX, the industry leader and CrossFitter favorite for products that accelerate muscle recovery, growth, repair and strength in the body.

· SICphoto: if writing isn’t your thing, submit a photo that showcases the SICFIT culture.

· SIClife: If 120 seconds isn’t enough to show just how SIC you are – don’t worry. Submit a still shot and a short story/blog (1,000 words or less) of how you exemplify the SICFIT mentality.

The winning PROGENEX SICflick will receive $5,000 while the top photo and blog will each receive $1,000 in prize money. Additionally, SICFIT editors will contract several bloggers and photographers to become official regional correspondents for the brand. See SICFIT contest terms and conditions for more information.

“The chosen regional correspondents will keep the SICFIT community apprised of fitness events, news and accomplishments in their individual communities,” added Kayyem. “By combining these regional updates with individual uploads and global news and events, SICFIT will quickly become the world’s premier website for showcasing fitness as a sport.”

SICFIT will also be expanding its brand platform through more contests and events, engaging user-generated content and strategic business partnerships.
