DIET FORCE® is everything and more of what you'd expect from an ABB (tm) drink designed to stimulate fat Metabolism and increase energy levels, but without some of what you may not want from a serious diet and energy drink DIET FORCE® contains absolutely NO Ephedrine!
For starters, DIET FORCE® isn't some sweetened water with sprinkle dustings of supposed “fat burning” ingredients like you'll find on most grocery store isles and in competitors' drink coolers. DIET FORCE® is pure, scientific genius! An incredibly refreshing tasting, five-calorie drink that tastes and works so amazingly well, you'll be astounded by what it doesn't contain. NO Ephedrine. NO Sugar. NO Aspartame. ONLY 5 Calories. And ONLY 100mg of Caffeine (equivalent to about two diet sodas).
DIET FORCE® is another quality product of ABB (tm). Research-formulated and quality assurance tested in our multi-million dollar, 420,000 square-foot Salt Lake City, Utah, headquarters, and manufactured in our GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices), state-of-the-art bottling facility in Walterboro, South Carolina.
Now also introducing something beyond ephedrine for maximal energy and thermogenesis. Adrenalin Stack is the industry's first legitimate non-ephedra alternative to insanely intense power and fat metabolism. This is the hottest thing to hit your coolers since Ripped Force. Use it as a stand-alone, or cycle it with ephedra-based products to maximize ephedrine's effectiveness and neurotransmitter recovery time. Adrenalin Stack hits coolers in July 2002 and has an SRP of $2.50 per 18oz bottle. Two flavors — CITRUSh and GrAPPLE

Something New Under the Sun!
Peacock's WrapAround™ Vertical Tanning Systems offer a faster tan than conventional lie-down units & folds flat to the wall when not in use.
Peacock's Wraparound™
Introducing the WrapAround™ Tanning System. Providing tanning services now means you no longer have to choose between your customers and your floor space. You can fit a WrapAround™ System virtually anywhere. It requires less than two square feet of floor space when not in use, and can be operated (with a suitable changing area) easily within an area the size of a standard closet. Compared to the 40 to 50 square feet required for the same setup of an old-style lie-down tanning bed, this means you can use multiple WrapAround™ Vertical Systems in the same amount of space that would be needed for a single horizontal unit. It's not hard to see what this can mean to your bottom line.
The WrapAround™ Tanning System also costs less to operate and maintain than conventional equipment. The closer you get to the bulbs, the better the tan, and the WrapAround™ Tanning System allows the light panels to be pulled in as close to the body as possible. This means a better tan with fewer bulbs in less time. Fewer bulbs and less time means that you pay less to operate and maintain, more people can tan in the same time and the same space, and all of this goes right to your bottom-line.
If you have tanning equipment for your customers now, or are considering offering tanning sessions to your clients in the future, you owe it to yourself to learn more about the future of tanning. Your customers will thank you, and so will your accountant.

BROADCASTVISION™ Debuts New Interactive Fitness Entertainment
BROADCASTVISION™ has partnered with French company, Total ImmersionTM for exclusive U.S. and Canadian distribution of Visio Training interactive movies. The Visio Training movies interface via computer with BROADCASTVISION™ BTV15 Multi Media Personal TV Screens that are positioned in front of cardio exercise equipment. The movies, which are filmed from the point of view of the exerciser, will take club members on an exciting and interactive journey through city streets such as Paris, Rome, Monte Carlo and cycling into mountain passes, roads and villages. Using a directional control that is mounted on the workout equipment, exercisers will enjoy choosing their path at each crossway. The film streaming or speed is directly impacted in real time according to the user's physical effort (i.e. running speed on a treadmill) due to optical and magnetic sensors that are interfaced into CSAFE ports on cardio equipment. Visio Training is compatible with most treadmill manufacturers. Multiple films are available and regularly updated. This incredible new digital technology is the most dramatic and impressive entertainment format available to the fitness industry!
BROADCASTVISION™ has several other new entertainment and service products poised for release during the third and fourth year quarter. “BROADCASTVISION™ is trail blazing into multiple entertainment technologies and services the likes of which the fitness industry has never before enjoyed.

Club Management Systems From CSI Software
CSI Software has been developed specifically for the fitness industry. For more than 20 years, we have listened to our customers, developed solutions and enhanced our products to meet the evolving requirements of this dynamic industry. CSI allows you to manage membership, employees, accounting, scheduling and fitness in a database that can be accessed by a single club or a group of clubs via a local or wide area network or the Internet.
Managing membership and accounting are two basic club management operations. The relationship of this data to employees, facility schedules, membership sales, attendance and retention provides managers with the information to make timely decisions in order to profitably influence their club's bottom line. CSI's products are completely integrated so that this information is available in one source. Reports are complete, comparisons are meaningful and decisions can be based on reliable information.
The Internet Age has provided new opportunities to deliver powerful software products that are easy to operate, quick to respond and easy to maintain at a fraction of the cost normally associated with these types of products. The software and data are located at a data center. The users of the software run it over the Internet. Members can inquire into activities, class/program/facility schedules and their account from any PC on the Internet. Programs can be booked, courts reserved and classes enrolled at any hour of the day or night. CSI maintains the software, backups the data and continually enhances the products for the user. It is the best of both worlds. You have continual access to your data and complete control of your financial schedule. CSI provides technical and operational support. You do not need to maintain a fileserver, a network or on-site technical support. The software is continually enhanced so you do not have to go through upgrades and system changes.
