Chief Olympia Officer Dan Solomon opened up about the landmark change in ownership, telling Us Weekly, “As we roll out a unique media and event integration, we are strengthened by significant resources brought to the table by our new owner. Jake is a visionary and his track record for success speaks for itself.”

In addition to the Mr. Olympia competition, the inclusion of the Muscle & Fitness, M&F HERS and FLEX brands in this acquisition has created a consolidated social media audience of nearly 17 million fitness-driven followers.
