Look for Canada's biggest and best fitness magazine on newstands everywhere featuring Georges St-Pierre on the cover and over 195 pages of Canadian muscle and fitness. Among those pages is loads of UFE coverage. Welcoming you to the magazine on IFM's Welcome Page is a beautiful full-page, black and white photo of UFE competitor Tim Lochhead photographed by one of UFE's star photographers, Chris Linton. On page 26, you will find UFE Halloween Mayhem 2008 Bikini Model champ, Monica Winn as she tells the readers about her plans to tear it up on the stage once again in the fall. Page 29 features a story about UFE competitor and a very loyal supporter of our organization, Liana Saadi. Liana, while still competitive, is now very active in photographing the fitness world and she does incredible work. IFM writer, Brian Bailey uses a huge picture of UFE's 2008 Bikini Model Ultimate Champion for his story on page 60, making note of how "smokin' hot" she is. Don't worry people, if you're thinking that's really creepy, they are of no relation. A photo recap and show summary of UFE Spring Bash occupy pages 178 and 179. I think everyone will agree that the calibre of our competitors has stepped up several notches even since last year. Finally, look for our 1 page feature for UFE Halloween Mayhem and the UFE National Championships on page 185. These are 2 fitness events that will take the industry to a new level so don't miss them!

UFE Halloween Mayhem has become known as one of Canada's biggest fitness events and is gaining recognition around North America as one of the most exciting and unique fitness events of its kind. As such, Inside Fitness Magazine was in attendence at this event to capture all the action at UFE's second installment of this amazing show.
We are proud to see all of our category winners featured in the article and thank Glen Grant for taking some amazing shots and doing a fantastic event summary.
To see the coverage, pick up the Winter 2008 edition of Inside Fitness Magazine!
This is quite a success story for Sean Everingham and the UFE. While Sean was a trainer with Family Fitness in Hamilton, Ontario he noticed a stunningly beautiful young lady by the name of Ashley Harrison. Sean approached Ashley and told her that he thought she had the potential to do extremely well in fitness competitions and that he would like to train her. At the age of 18, Ashley placed a respectable top 15 among nearly 100 competitors in her first competition and was hooked.
At each show Ashley competed in, she continued to place higher and higher and Sean told her that one day, she would end up on the cover of Oxygen Magazine. When Sean began training in Mississauga, he and Ashley discontinued their training, but kept in touch. In 2007, at UFE's inaugural event, UFE Halloween Mayhem, Ashley was a part of the competition and in addition to those who would walk away with top honours in each category, 1 person would be selected as UFE's "Official Spokesmodel." and would represent UFE on all of our print material. The winner? Ashley Harrison! UFE was the first organization to realize Ashley's true potential and when competing at the WBFF Championships in 2008,
Ashley was recruited to do a shoot for Oxygen Magazine. During this shoot, it was decided that Ashley would be the cover of their January 2009 edition...6 short years since Sean told Ashley she would one day make the cover of Oxygen. Ashley is not the only one that Sean told would be on the cover of Oxygen Magazine. Francisca Dennis is another young lady that Sean approached about the potential of doing well in competition and Fran has since gone on to be featured on the cover of Oxygen Magazine as well as in the magazine several times and is a top ranking figure competitor. Fran has also hinted that she may just decide to take to the stage at a UFE stage in the near future.
