Hardbody Shout Out to Our New Sponsors

What once started as a place to randomly post news & photos, HARDBODY.com has evolved into a daily destination for thousands of people (men and women). That’s pretty cool if you ask me. It’s fun to hear comments and feedback at shows from you, the visitors. I can’t count the number of women who mentioned HARDBODY at TEAM UNIVERSE and I receive emails daily related to this site. The most consistent feedback I receive is that 1) you know the source of the information is accurate and accountable 2) it’s updated daily and often multiple times a day 3) it’s the only place where you can get a wide variety of news, events, info and more related only fitness, figure, bikini (bodybuilding to a lesser degree) and female sports. Sure there are other sites that you visit, I check them out too but they aren’t updated daily and in the same style as you get here. That’s not so say we rock and others suck, but you will consistently see something new every day on this site. You can also see an extension of this site in every issue of Muscle & Fitness Hers. Thanks to the folks at WEIDER, female competitors are now getting more ink in my “TWIST & TURNS” column. Again pretty cool.

All that being said this is an ideal place to attract new or grow existing business. The banners you see on this site help us grow. We’ve only begun to scratch the surface of what will happen here but it would be possible with out the likes of our two newest sponsors Pavel Ythjall and Julie Lohre. Pavel is a staff photographer for Muscle & Fitness and FLEX magazines. You can see his work in those magazines every month. One of the most popular features with the women has been the GIRLS ARE BACK section of FLEX magazine. The feature shows women in a hardcore, raw training setting with dramatic lighting. Those images are from the lense of Pavel Ythjall. He brings a different style and approach to a photoshoot as any woman whose worked with him will attest to. I say that as a good thing and he is one of the few photographers that gets a two jugs up approval for us. Check out his site (http://www.ythjall.com) and you’ll see the style separates him from most in the industry. Tell him HARDBODY sent ya.

The Girls are Back photos are bad ass.

Julie Lohre is an IFBB Fitness Pro and despite being away from the competitive stage, she hasn’t slowed down. Julie has been holding camps, training clients and many other things that are far too numerous to mention. You’re better off visiting http://julielohre.com to read all about what she has been doing as well as services she offers. She’s assembled a web site rich in content and is a consistent source of help information for women. Check out her site and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Don’t blame us if you end up spending too much time checking out all the info, ok you can blame us. In fact give Julie a shout and tell her HARDBODY sent ya.
