How Can I Help You

Everything in our world is constantly changing and the people who embrace change are the people who find long-term success. The people who don't embrace change will eventually become extinct. The fitness world is no different.

Fitness Atlantic has been and always will be committed to being the best and most progressive fitness show in North America. As president of Fitness Atlantic and a leader in the fitness industry I feel it is time for a revolution of our industry, a change of mentality among promoters that benefits the most important person in the fitness competition, YOU the competitor. I stated one month ago Fitness Atlantic was committed to the personal success of the competitors more than any federation in North America and I truly mean that.

The politics of our industry is something that is rarely talked about on a public forum. These discussions usually take place behind closed doors or secretly backstage among competitors. Historically the promoter-competitor relationships have been volatile for various reasons. As a former competitor and active promoter I am aware of the unfair demands, unreasonable restrictions, and uncomfortable pressures that are often put upon competitor's career and only favor the promoter monetarily with your entry fees. Having been a competitive bodybuilder and placed in these exact scenarios numerous times throughout my career, and enduring times in my life where I despised a sport I loved so much due to unfair practices by promoters, I made a commitment to myself the day I formed Fitness Atlantic, I would never put a Fitness Atlantic competitor in any similar situation. I was determined to never have the negative stigma so many promoters have earned and many rightfully so attached to my name or my company's name.

I feel over the 11-year history of Fitness Atlantic I have lived up to my commitment. The most important element in building a reputation good or bad is word-of-mouth. I am confident the reputation of Fitness Atlantic and Brian Cannone among competitors is a reputation I can be proud of. Fitness Atlantic has been and will always be about you the competitor.

Please do not judge Fitness Atlantic or myself by my words. Please judge us by our actions. As the most progressive fitness event in North America I want to be the first promoter in the fitness industry to encourage competitors to compete outside of Fitness Atlantic.
I want to see Fitness Atlantic athletes gain maximum exposure on the stages of my friend's and fellow promoters events including Matt Johnson's INBF New York, Robert Fulton's INBF Connecticut, Montanari Brother's NPC Grand Prix, Laura Turlelot's NGA, and Kevin Topka's BNLPA, and any show that will not tie you into a contract or penalize you for entering other events. If you enjoy competing and entering shows than do any and all of them you decide to do.

I want every competitor to realize Fitness Atlantic is committed to building careers. The days of promoters controlling competitors for personal gain at the expense of the athlete need to be over. A new era of promoters working with competitors building careers has arrived and Brian Cannone and FitnessAtlantic.com are leading the way.

Fitness Atlantic has earned its position by bringing the industries best competitors to its stage for the best event of the year, the Fitness Atlantic Championships. While competition has been and always will be the lifeblood of our fitness industry Fitness Atlantic is expanding into venues all for the benefit of the competitors. To set the standard as the premiere fitness company in North America Fitness Atlantic must look beyond the scope of traditional competition. As president of this great company what I want is the most passionate and driven competitors to be part of Fitness Atlantic's newest ventures.

The Fitness Atlantic vision encompasses eBooks, e-Courses, DVDs, internet TV and various other fitness related products all based on the individual personality of the competitor. I want the phone of Fitness Atlantic ringing off the hook and our mailbox full with everyone asking the same questions, "How can I create my own fitness DVD?", "How can I publish a fitness eBook?", "How can I be on internet TV?", and the most important question, "How do I further my fitness career?". I want your face, your feelings, your emotions; your personal story to be the heartbeat of the Fitness Atlantic brand.

It all begins with you the competitor, if you have the desire and dedication Fitness Atlantic can make dreams a reality.

Everything in our world is constantly changing. The days of promoters controlling talent are over and were something I personally never felt comfortable with. The traditional competitor relationship is passe. Fitness Atlantic is committed to building and supporting each and every competitor's career placing no limits on their ability to succeed in this great industry. I say this with pure conviction No Federation is committed to you the competitor and your career like Fitness Atlantic. With all the new ventures from Fitness Atlantic in 2010 I look forward to hearing from each and every one of you and how we can build your career together.

I'm very excited about some product launches in 2010 with a new book, "Stage Ready" and the e-course titled "Everything You Need to Know to Compete in a Show" each written and built around the athletes from the show.

If your desire is beyond the stage and catapulting your fitness career to new heights, creating products and a persona unique to you, Fitness Atlantic is the place to be.

Thank You,

Brian Cannone

Brian Cannone's Fitness Atlantic

Dear Fellow Athlete,

As president of the FitnessAtlantic.com Championships I cannot tell you how excited I am for this year's event. This is going to be a year that will offer great opportunities for the athletes! First I would like to thank all of the current athletes and spectators and anyone that has supported me and my event over the years. FitnessAtlantic.com is a childhood dream I had envisioned and because of you and guidance from many important people that dream has become a reality.

Every child has a dream and someone or something emotionally affects all kids. Some kids take a liking to baseball, football, golf or tennis and a even smaller percentage of kids might find a hero they admire in their chosen sport. However, over the years they may think they have found a profound love soon realize it was simply nothing more than an intense liking that has faded as the years pass. Only a select few are privileged enough to find their passion in life. Today I feel honored to be able to say my passion is, was, and always will be the fitness industry.

When I was young I lifted weights with my father and in 1991 with guidance from Mr. Connecticut Claudio Mancuso I began training for my first bodybuilding competition. I competed in a variety of different organizations (AAU, NPC, ANBC, MM) and as the years passed my desire for the sport evolved from competition to promotion. I was determined to learn all facets of our sport. In 1993 with help from a good friend Fred Yale I promoted my first show and that's when Fitness Atlantic was born.

Fitness Atlantic has been the birthplace for top stars in the bodybuilding and fitness world. I take great pride in saying Morris Mendez, Lindsay Messina, Alicia Marie, Ulisses Jr, Annette Perry and so many other incredible athletes have started their careers right here with Fitness Atlantic. Before they were on the covers of Oxygen and Muscle & Fitness Magazine, they were on the stage at Fitness Atlantic. I am proud to say they are among the best competitors in the world and even prouder to say they are my friends.

Fitness Atlantic has always been and will always be committed to producing the highest quality fitness shows, the best competitors and the most innovative website in the fitness industry. To say I am excited about the future of Fitness Atlantic is an understatement. I have enjoyed every second of the past 20 years bringing Fitness Atlantic to you and I can't wait for the next 20. This industry has been my entire life since I was 14 years old, from competing in bodybuilding shows, running gyms in Connecticut for the past 19 years, to meeting my fiance Donna a former fitness competitor who stood by me during both good times and bad. Donna, Thank You.

Everyone has a dream and Fitness Atlantic is mine. There would be no Fitness Atlantic without all of you. Thank you for making Fitness Atlantic the new standard in the world of fitness competition. I look forward to announcing some huge surprises for the athletes in 2010 and becoming the largest non-sanctioned independently produced event in North America.

Sincerely,

Brian Cannone

Fitness Atlantic Producer

Fitness Ebooks

How to write an ebook and publish it.

Delicious Sources of Omega-3 Fatty Acids

It really is very simple to take better care of yourself. A couple of different food choices during the day and you'll be well on your way to fueling your body with all the nutrients it needs.

Take, for instance, Omega-3 fatty acids. They've been all over the news for years now as a super important part of your healthy eating plan.

So what are some delicious sources of Omega-3s?

1) Salmon is probably the most well-known choice. But hey, if you don't like salmon then some other choices of fish would be Mackeral, Tuna, Snapper or Sardines.

2) Walnuts are another top pick. These are perfect for a snack you can bring with you just about anywhere.

3) Essential Fatty Acid supplements are also a valid choice. Yes, you want to be eating whole foods and fueling your body with nature's best. But a high quality EFA supplement can be a great addition to your healthy eating plan.

And as a proud Prograde partner I recommend their EFA Icon product. It's extremely high quality and they are about the only supplement company on the planet I truly trust.

Best part is they are having a sale on EFA Icon that runs until 11:57pm EST on Friday, January 22nd. So yes, its' just about over!

So if you want to save 10.10% on this awesome product then be sure to visit http://fitnessatlantic.getprograde.com/krill_oil.html RIGHT NOW.

Yours in health,

Brian

PS - Again, Prograde Nutrition's EFA Icon product is super high quality and you can save 10.10% on it if you order right away. The sale is almost over! http://fitnessatlantic.getprograde.com/krill_oil.html

Prograde Nutrition's "Do Something Different This January" Special

So it's already January 19th. My hope is you're still right on track with your fitness goals for 2010. One of the things I know helps is to take a different approach than most people do. Let me explain:

You see, most people I come across...well, they want to look better naked. Hey, nothing wrong with that. But when that is the only motivation it does nothing but leave people frustrated, unfulfilled and right back where they started. It just does.

However, when the goal is to take better care of yourself for overall health and well-being, that's when people see lasting results. It's when they make real changes to their lives.
Now, I love being a Prograde partner because they believe the same things I do. And that's the reason for their "Do Something Different This January" Special. To celebrate 2010 and to motivate you to look for more from fitness than just to fit into your "skinny jeans" again, they are putting their power-packed EFA Icon on sale this week at 10.10% off. Yes, that means 11%. ;-)

And I'm not kidding when I tell you it's potent. Prograde Nutrition's EFA Icon may help you:
Protect Your Heart
Improve Your Memory

Strengthen Your Immune System

Reduce Joint Pain
Reduce PMS Symptoms

Aid Fat Loss
But seriously, don't take my word for it. Discover all the research behind this extraordinarily power-packed Prograde product for yourself. It's all right here: http://fitnessatlantic.getprograde.com/krill_oil.html
On that page you'll also find all the details on how to save the 10.10%. But it all ends this Friday at 11:57pm EST so be sure to act NOW before you forget.

Yours in health,

Brian

PS - Again, this special chance to do something different this January expires on Friday, January 22nd at 11:57pm EST. Be sure to order your supply of Prograde Nutrition's EFA Icon at 10.10% off before it's too late. http://fitnessatlantic.getprograde.com/krill_oil.html

Fitness Atlantic

Brian Cannone's Fitness Atlantic held April 17, 2010 is now a WBFF World Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation Professional Qualifier which offers Over $100,000 in Cash and Prizes

Fitness Atlantic Joining Forces with WBFF

Fitness Atlantic has joined forces with a federation in which the overall winners from Fitness Atlantic 2010 get to turn Professional and compete for cash, prizes and exposure in the fitness industry with magazines and photographers.

Read this post by Paul Dillett WBFF President - "The Way I see It"

There has recently been some unnecessary tension in our industry that needs to be addressed. In my decades of involvement in the fitness industry, I can assure you that I’ve seen my share of unjust behavior, opinions flying about (good and bad) and a great deal of subjectivity. One thing that I’m confident about is the knowledge that we’re all in this together; regardless of your affiliation, your goals or your personal beliefs. Our objective is to further the sport of bodybuilding and fitness and reap as many rewards that it has to offer.

The place to air any indiscretion is not by firing it from a cannon in hopes that everyone will hear it and respond favorably. As some of you may see, this hasn’t been the case recently with certain posts that have been circulating.

We, the WBFF, owe our support and gratitude to those who support our endeavors and who choose to travel on the same road that we share. In order for the fitness industry to continue to expand its horizons, this mentality should be maintained across the board. To engage in trivial bantering is counterproductive, belittling and unprofessional to say the least and only serves to harm those individuals of whom it is our intended goal of helping…the athletes.

I have faith in the WBFF brand and I have faith in the WBFF Team. We owe our present and continuing success not to one person but to every one of us; the athletes, the sponsors, the spectators, photographers, media and staff. We are not in this alone. I firmly believe that to be successful, you have to share in the success of others.

Having said this, I will continue to support other fitness and bodybuilding organizations that share our direction, that actively promote their participants and whose aim it is to raise the bar as we feel we are doing. Many of you have come to realize that I attend many of these fitness events with the UFE, IDFA, NPC, OPA and IFBB. I am and always will be an athlete first and a businessman second with my primary objective to give back to a sport that has given me the opportunities that I’m now able to share. I have experienced success and now my goal is to share this with as many people as I can and do the best job I’m able to in order to effect this. Once again, I am confident that I will continue with this success.

If you approve of what we’re doing, we acknowledge this. If you disapprove of our intentions, we also want to hear your suggestions; good, bad or otherwise. We are still in our infancy and we realize that we are fallible to making mistakes and are aware that we will never be the only ‘kid on the block’.

We see competition and the existence of other federations as a necessary element that will serve to keep us on our toes and continue to make the necessary adjustments to achieve those goals. We will never take for granted, or be too big for our britches to realize that we can be boastful, discriminate or unworthy.

We appreciate all of the positive feedback that we have recently received. I am thankful for what we do, who we are and what we share.

I will continue to deliver the best that I’m able to and once again thank you for your generosity. I look forward to seeing everyone in September for our World Championships. You won’t be disappointed.

Paul Dillett
President – World Bodybuilding & Fitness Federation

=====================================

Why should I consider competing with the WBFF? How is it different from any other organization out there?
The WBFF is different from any other organization out there to date. It was founded by an athlete, so we understand the needs as well as the ups and downs of all our competitors. We will utilize our relationships with all our partners to create sponsorship and marketing opportunities for the competitors and all of its members, in an industry that is constantly growing.

The Importance of Multi-Vitamins

Bottom line: Many people just aren't meeting the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals. And even people that eat plenty of fruits and veggies don't either, thanks to current farming practices and mass food production.

And here's a really interesting study from the Journal of the American Medical Association that states, "it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin supplements."

Additionally, a high-quality multi-vitamin supplement may help:

To prevent diseases

Get the RDA of vital nutrients

Combat nutrient deficiencies in foods

Promote consistent nutrient intake

Long story short: A great way to provide your body with the nutritional foundation you need each day is a Whole Foods based multi-vitamin. I'm a proud Prograde Nutrition partner and they have a terrific product called VGF 25+ that is made from 25 veggies, greens and fruits.

The best part is you can try Prograde's VGF 25+ for FREE! (There's just a small S & H charge)
http://fitnessatlantc.getprograde.com/vgf25-free-trial.html

Hope this info helps you out. I'll be back with more quick tips to help you meet all your health and fitness goals.

Yours in health,

Brian

Big Sale Once Again

Hey,

http://tinyurl.com/ydg96dc <<< Want Single Digit Body Fat?

The results are in. In case you missed the discussion
this week, we've been talking about our motivation and
why we it is that we train and put ourselves through
the grueling workouts.

What's it all for, why do we do it?

After reading all of YOUR comments here are some
of the reasons we train so hard.

This is in no particular order. These reasons for training
were prioritized differently for each of us but these were
the major driving forces.

-Strength
-Confidence
-Health
-Vitality
-Aesthetics
-Athleticism
-Enjoy Lifestyle
-Vanity
-To Achieve Goals
-For My Family

Whether your body composition (bigger muscles, less fat)
turns out to be a side effect of your strength training or
whether physical appearance was your main motivation

----------------------------------------------------
HOW TO GET SINGLE DIGIT BODYFAT LEVELS
----------------------------------------------------

Both Elliott & I got our bodyfat levels into the teens but
to get to into single digits! Wow that's a tall order.

Or, maybe it's not.

What if you could attain 14-weeks of pre-contest meal plans
used by some of the countries of top pro NATURAL bodybuilders?

Sounds too good to be true, I know. Lucky for you, I'm
really close with Brian Cannone who runs a huge natural
bodybuilding show in New England.

With his new Stage Ready Nutrition & Training system he's
including these bodybuilding nutrition meal plans guaranteed
to get you ready to step on stage in just 14-weeks.

----------------------------------------------------
BUT I DON"T WANT TO COMPETE!
----------------------------------------------------

I've never had an interest in doing a bodybuilding show myself,
but when I can get an opportunity to get my hands on the
nutrition info they use to get so ripped, I'd be a fool to pass it up.

Both Elliott and I are making great gains with our hybrid
training, but we're always up for trying new nutrition plans.

I'll give you the good news first. The next 45 people that order will
get a DVD in the mail from the 09 Atlantic Championships featuring
the bodybuilding, fitness, figure, and bikini finalists.

The bad news? There are only 45 DVDs left and this offer

We're not doing this to put pressure you or whatever. The fact

“Brian is the owner of the Fitness Atlantic show in CT which I recently competed in. So far, it is one of my favorite shows to compete in because of how smoothly it runs, how well put together it is, and the overall enjoyable experience I had. Sometimes you leave shows feeling like you were rushed around, the area you had to get ready in was less then ideal, and for how much work goes into competing, the experience should have been much more enjoyable than it was. However, the Fitness Atlantic met and exceeded all of my expectations and I was lucky that that was my first show experience instead of one of the not so pleasant experiences I had afterward.

New Date for Fitness Atlantic

January 2010



Dear Fitness Atlantic Athlete:

Our Fitness Atlantic Championship has a new date April 17, 2010.

It has come to my attention that another promoter has scheduled a competition on the very same date, as my long time scheduled Atlantic Championship. I cannot express how deeply hurt I am to find that someone would do this, as I have poured my heart and soul into creating the Fitness Atlantic event over the past 11 years.

I would like to let you know that I am in no way affiliated with this promoter, his organization, or his event. This other contest is also in Connecticut with the same show name which is causing confusion.

In order to avoid confusion and to give the athletes the best possible opportunity to join us, I have moved the date to April 17, 2010.

This is an extremely difficult decision for me but one I feel is in the best interest of the athletes. I deeply apologize for any scheduling inconvenience this may cause any of you, but I feel it is the right decision for the show given the circumstances. This situation is one that is between me and this other promoter, and should in no way involve you the athlete. This is why I know it is the best decision to be on a different weekend.

I have always treated the athletes in my events as close as my family, so I would never want to put any athlete through a situation that is uncomfortable, or would cause you pressure and stress. Anyone that has done my show understands that my goal is to make sure you have a great experience and that people know me more than just the event promoter but more importantly as your friend. This decision is very difficult for me but I know it is the right one.

If you have any questions please feel free to call me at (203) 395-6196. All of the event information will be updated on my website at www.FitnessAtlantic.com.

I am asking for your support now and can’t wait to see you on April 17, 2010 at East Haven Performing Arts Center. Let's have a great show.

Sincerely,

Brian Cannone
Event Producer
Fitness Atlantic Championships

Camp Savage Video

Was 2009 everything you hoped it would be?
If so,congratulations.

If not, I understand.

If last year wasn't the year you planned, now's the
time to make this year, 2010, better-perhaps much
better.

2009 was for just about everyone I know their most
challenging year ever-in business, in their career,
or in life in general. For most people last year
was a year of utter uncertainty and for many people
2009 was 365 days of struggle.

I'm sending you this video for a reason.

Here's the bottom line. Last year is over and
there is no future in the past. A new decade
begins today and NOW is the time to get started on
making this year-THE YEAR-YOUR YEAR!

If your goal is make 2010 better than 2009-
I think starting here can help.

Say I'll Never Make It by Todd Ganci

My buddy Todd Ganci's song "Say I'll Never Make It"

Some of the words say -

Do me a favor and say I'll never make it

Do me a favor and tell me not to try

- Reminds me of what I say about most people every time you say something you want to accomplish

Shooting down your dreams!
