LAS VEGAS, NV--(NewMediaWire - Mar 15, 2016)
- FG Fitness & Media Group, a wholly
owned subsidiary of Portage Resources (OTC
PINK: POTG). For 5
years, FG Fitness & Media
Group along with its flagship publication, and all of
its ancillary products has been a private company. In 2015, it
was time to move into the public arena and expand its opportunities
to a more global audience. Management has produced over 19 issues
of the Fitness Gurls Magazine with some
of them as digital/limited printing issues and some of them have
been sold in Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million and Hastings
Booksellers in North America. Readers and followers have enjoyed
the articles, design and beautiful photography, which has been a
staple for the publication since its inception. Coming up on
the publications 5th anniversary, management's goal is to expand
the brand into a worldwide fitness marketplace.
According to Jason T. Miller, CEO, "We are have position
ourselves as a very strong influencer in the health and fitness
market and have developed a brand people trust and want to be a
part of." One of the ways Management has established itself in
the market is on social media. In 2015, Fitness Gurls Magazine
grew their social media presence on Facebook from 300,000 to over 1
Million Followers and Readers today. Mr. Miller adds, "Having
over 1 Million Followers gives us a reach on par with brands and
publications that have been around 10 to 20 years longer than we
have. I believe that's a testament of the Company's strength
and the potential for the future. We look to take monetize our
social media presence to brand and to add additional profit centers
with our influence."
"One of the ways you see this influence come alive was in
February 2016, when the city of Medellin,
Colombia along with the city's premiere fitness
expo, Expo Fitness,
invited Fitness Gurls Magazine and their
6 guest to showcase the country of Colombia and fitness in Latin
America. The trip was paid for by the Expo and the city's
Board of Tourism. Mr. Miller expresses, "This was a great trip
for Fitness Gurls Magazine / Portage Resource. You see the
hard work we've been doing pays off, and it's nice when you see
even people from our countries taking notice the great potential of
our brand."
In the coming weeks, the Company plans to do a name change to
reflect the fresh new direction the company is taking, in a booming
market. Mr. Miller says, "Health and fitness and longevity
isn't a fad, people everywhere are starting to get serious about
their health and wellness. This newly energized firm has many
projects under development that will capitalize on this booming
market… finally."
