“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. So, keep up the good work Brian and I'll see you again next year!” September 15, 2009

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

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!
