this is life in austin & aspen

That’s right, CrossFitters and other people who think they are awesomely fit … there’s a new reality show called I Wanna Be a World Class Athlete! and they’re casting this summer. Sure, you’ll have to trek to get to an audition, but imagine the possibilities! They’re transforming individual competitive and recreational sports players into World Class Athletes.

They say that even if you’re not athletic and just want to transform your body and lifestyle by working out like the pros, you could be chosen for the show. Everyone has a shot!

The casting directors are looking for hungry, hardworking athletes ages 12 and older (competing in three categories — youth, high school, adult), who want to take their training to the next level in front of a national cable television audience, in hopes of landing their share of $1,000,000 in cash, prizes, and athletic scholarships and a chance to compete to win $1,000,000 on each of 10 episodes.

Thirty (30) real-world athletes and wanna be athletes  will be worked by a professional training staff on tough-to-complete training programs involving cardiovascular fitness, strength training, plyometric training, sport-specific skills, sport psychology, and proper nutrition. The show features athletes benefiting from using cutting edge technology, “high tech” training equipment, and special effects illustrating their performances.

And OH YEAH, the show’s producers are also seeking a female host with a background in health, fitness, and sports performance training.
