BK Fitness Challenge Proven to Help Consumers Experience 93% Greater Fat Loss, Improve Cardio Fitness and Endurance, Boost Metabolism, Burn an Additional 100 Calories and Also Gives Participants a Chance to Win a Trip for Two to Miami, Florida, for 2014 Season's End Championship Race


BOCA RATON, Fla., Aug. 4, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Celsius®, the world's first Negative Calorie beverage backed by clinical science and the Official Energy Drink Partner for NASCAR Nationwide Series team TriStar Motorsports, is excited to announce the launch of the BK Fitness Challenge along with brand ambassador and NASCAR driver Blake Koch. The fitness challenge gives consumers a chance to kick-start and maintain a healthy lifestyle with Celsius, as well as the opportunity to attend the 2014 season's end championship race as Blake's personal guests in Homestead, Florida in November.

"Training for any race, big or small, isn't just about driving a car, but in fact, hard work and dedication to your health and fitness regimen play a large part in crossing that finish line," said Koch, who incorporates two Celsius beverages in his exercise routine each day. "I believe in the science behind the products because I have personally seen the results from more endurance, long-lasting energy, maintaining a healthy body fat percentage and especially being able to focus better on the competition and training. I think it is important for my fans and other athletes to have the chance to experience these benefits as well."

In an effort to help Blake's fans experience the same success he has with Celsius, participants are encouraged to drink one Celsius per day and post their progress pictures on social media with #BKChallenge for a chance to be his personal guest at the 2014 season ending championship race in Homestead, Florida on November 15th. The winner will receive VIP pit-passes, hotel and airfare for themselves and a guest.

"Our clinical studies reveal that by following this simple program, due to the unique formulation of Celsius fitness drink, consumers are able to experience significant benefits of moderate exercise including, but not limited to, increased fat loss and extra caloric burn during workouts," said Gerry David, President and CEO of Celsius Holdings, Inc. "We are excited to have Blake help share this with the 70+ million NASCAR fans, broadening our consumer reach and social media engagement as well as give those fans the chance to fulfill a dream of attending the Championship Race and ultimately encourage them to live a healthy lifestyle."

Additional Details:

  • Entry into the challenge is performed by submitting name and email address on celsius.com/bkchallenge and posting with the #BKchallenge.

Celsius is the world's first and only negative calorie drink. In a University clinical study, participants who drank one Celsius per day experienced 93% greater fat loss as well as improved cardio fitness and endurance than the participants who had the placebo. Backed by multiple clinical studies, drinking Celsius before exercise has been proven to help burn up to 100 calories and more per serving, boost metabolism, reduce body fat, increase endurance and provides lasting clean energy. It comes in five delicious flavors, carbonated and non-carbonated, and also in powder stick packets that can be mixed with water. Celsius contains no sugar, no high fructose corn syrup, no aspartame, no artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors, and is low in sodium.
