Digital Shelf Space Corp. (the "Company" or "DSS") (TSX VENTURE:DSS) is pleased
to announce that through its global distribution partner Northern Response
(International) Ltd. ("Northern Response") DSS will begin selling the complete
GSP RUSHFIT program in US retail. The Sports Authority, the largest retailer in
the American sporting goods channel, will begin the retail distribution of DSS's
innovative GSP RUSHFIT (www.gsprushfit.com) ultimate home workout DVD fitness
series this Fall. The GSP RUSHFIT workout series stars the Montreal-based Mixed
Martial Arts ("MMA"), World Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre ("GSP").
"As with Canada, we have had a tremendous initial response from the retailers in
the US, and anticipate that more US retailers will look to add GSP RUSHFIT to
their product line up over the coming months," says Don Cameron, VP Marketing
for Northern Response. "US retail distribution of GSP RUSHFIT, is the first of
what we hope to be many more countries that we will add to retail and sell GSP
RUSHFIT."
Northern Response represents DSS globally, with distribution partners in over 90
countries around the world.
"We were very pleased to learn from Northern Response that we have secured US
retail distribution and that The Sports Authority, with 460 stores in the US,
has chosen our GSP RUSHFIT workout series," said Jeffrey Sharpe, CEO and
President of DSS. "Being on the shelves at The Sports Authority starting this
Fall is a significant milestone for our RUSHFIT product and gives consumers even
greater accessibility and convenience to purchase the GSP RUSHFIT program."
GSP RUSHFIT was designed to appeal to the massive global audience with an
interest in MMA and MMA training methods as a complete home fitness workout
program. GSP RUSHFIT combines three of the hottest fitness trends. The complete
program uses various MMA conditioning exercises, intense circuit style training
and body weight training for fitness consumers to build muscle, cut weight and
get in shape. GSP RUSHFIT is unlike any fitness program available. This program
was carefully designed to give the most efficient and effective workout possible
at home with minimal equipment. When consumers see how hard internationally
respected athlete Georges St-Pierre pushes himself, working out alongside him
will motivate and inspire consumers to push themselves harder, and achieve more
than they ever thought possible. Georges St-Pierre has dedicated his life to
Mixed Martial Arts and is regarded as one of the top conditioned athletes not
only in the sport, but also in the world. Fitness fans everywhere can benefit
directly from the same commitment GSP has made to his own health and fitness.
