We are pleased to provide you with a brief update on the Reliv Athlete Programme. The programme started several years ago in Auckland in association with some of Barry Magee’s athletes. Whilst Jono Jackson has been on board pretty much from the beginning, a number of the other athletes who have been involved did not persevere over the longer term although several of them appeared in the Reliv Lifestyle Magazines over the years. Jono features in the latest Product Catalogue on the Innergize! page. This year has been very successful with Jono Jackson and Josh Maisey reeaching official Reliv Endorser status with contracts in place.
