Wow! What a start to the 2008 season. UFE Spring Bash brought out some amazing talent and we would like to send a big congratulations to each and every one of you who participated in UFE's first event of the 2008 season. Everyone looked great and we had many of our friends to capture these great physiques. Industry photography greats such as Korby Banner, Glen Grant and Andrew Braun came out to shoot as well as hot new photographers on the fitness scene, Joel Roberts and Chris Linton. Let's not forget the publisher of Inside Fitness himself, Terry Frendo who was out looking for talent and was impressed by the level of competition at the show. And of course, our friends and Title Sponsors at MVP Nutrition and Xtreme Lifestyle Magazine were in attendence and did an amazing job at capturing the action and putting together an amazing recap video of the event. We look forward to a great partnership with MVP and Xtreme Lifestyle Magazine as they help us to reach our goal of becoming the premier organization for natural fitness competitors!

Not only did our fabulous competitors receive lots of exposure, we gave away $2500 CASH to one lucky competitor! Lynette Williams took home the grand prize and we are very happy about this as she has been a great ambassador of UFE. Finally, our top competitors at the show received their invitations to compete among the best natural fitness competitors in North America at the MVP Quest on November 22nd in Hamilton Ontario! We look forward to watching them compete among the best of the best for the title of "Ultimate Champion" and everything that comes with it. Up next...MAYHEM! UFE Halloween Mayhem II, UFE's signature event and one of the most recognized events in natural fitness, will be the final qualifier for the MVP Quest and we look forward to topping last year's show!
