The insane, world class lighting at Fitness America Weekend™ last weekend in Las Vegas made every competitor look like a star! The pulsating production was designed specific for each competitor according to their apparel and music beats. "It is like performing at a rock concert", said one of the fitness competitors. The lighting director and his team worked tirelessly for four days installing and programming the systems and then testing with some of the competitors. It all went to the producer's motto to, "Make every competitor feel like a star!"
