Face of Fitness Launch Even
October 17. 2002
New York City

Last Thursday, October 17th, the first-ever face of fitness model search was launched in Manhattan at the Crunch Gym located on Second Avenue! The purpose of the event was to bring the face of fitness model search, agents and editors directly to the readers and entrants!

Hundreds of women came out to sign-up in person, meet representatives from Wilhelmina Models and editors from fitness, as well as experience our various "mind, body, spirit" stations and a complimentary gift bag full of good stuff!

As Emily Listfield, Editor-in-Chief of fitness, Julie Pinkwater, Publisher of fitness and Wilhelmina Executive Vice-President, Bobby Kreusler stated at the event, the search is not only about exterior beauty, but the inside as well. This ideal was truly embodied in the women that attended the event.

Everyone had the chance to receive free make-up touch-ups, mini-massages, aura readings and the amazing opportunity to speak with fitness editor and expert Janet Lee. Smoothies and champagne flowed as well! A special thanks to our sponsors and partners who also helped make the event a success.

Many women had questions about the search and modeling in general and I hope were we able to answer them as best we could! See the Q & A box to get more specific responses to questions you may have!

Once again, the event was a great success and we'd like to thank all the amazing women that came to sign-up!
