2011 is off to a GREAT start so far, as BodySpace has seen an impressive surge in new membership within the past week and a half.

On New Years Eve, BodySpace had 697,000 members, and then on New Years Day, it had climbed by nearly 2,000 to 699,000. The very next day, January 2nd, we surpassed the 700,000 mark, and today, January 10th, we're now past 710,000 active members!

A hearty congratulations to our newest members, and the more than 8,000 participants in the Optimum Nutrition/Bodybuilding.com $100,000 Transformation Challenge 2011! (If you haven't signed up yet to get fit & win, please do - only 3 more weeks left to register!)

Welcome to a brand-new year, BodySpace members. We welcome our newest members and also our old & faithful alike!  2011 is already off to a great new start, with some extensive back-end improvements (like these new blogs!), as well as some welcome cosmetic updates on the main pages, too.
