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.
