Hey MyGaming folks! I went and got permission from James to post first, I thought perhaps some of the community might be interested in this.
The typical stereotype gamer image has always included laziness or an unhealthy lifestyle as part of it's description. There are however several of us out there who are fighting hard to go against the grain and prove that stereotype wrong.
A friend of mine has started up a fun initiative on Facebook called Sleek Geek SA which is an initiative designed to get SA geeks off their asses and into shape. Getting our local internet community fighting fit and ready for business using community support and motivation as a key driver.
Although the competition has already started, the community itself still functions like normal - everyone posting motivation each day, sharing success stories, helping each other figure out what's wrong or how to improve, etc.
VirginActive and EvoFitness gyms have both also given some extremely awesome and generous gym membership sponsorships to some of our SleekGeek participants.
If you would be interested in an invite to the group (not the competition - it's already started but there will be more in the future) then just send me a PM on the forums with your Facebook Profile details.

- Back in October 2011, Sleek Geek held it's first competition called the 6 week beach body challenge that produced some phenomenal results such as first place winner JP Van Der Spuy.
- We are now about 1/4 of the way through our second challenge, this time a 12 week challenge where everyone who enters puts R500 into the pot and in the end it is split up between Gent's Weight Loss Winner (R7,900), Gent's Tone/Rip Winner (R6,850), Lady's Weight Loss Winner (R5,800) and Lady's Tone/Rip Winner (R5,450).
