The new USN Face of Fitness:
Shelby Jessica Neves
The wait is over. The winner of the 2016 USN Face of Fitness has been crowned!
After three months, 211 entries, a top 32 online voting phase, a two-day photo shoot with the top six, and an extremely difficult final selection process, the winner of the 2016 USN Face of Fitness cover model search has been announced!
Shelby Jessica Neves from Port Elizabeth is this year’s deserving winner, and will appear on the cover of the January/February 2017 cover of fitness magazine. She also walks away with the biggest prize yet from title sponsor Ultimate Sports Nutrition (USN), in addition to becoming a brand ambassador for the biggest name in supplementation.
As always, the winner was selected based on the strength of her performance at the shoot, the quality of her photos, her physique, personality and attitude. Shelby, who is a newcomer to the industry, now has an opportunity to launch a career in fitness.
The January issue will hit the shelves 19 December!

In addition to her appearance on the cover of fitness magazine, Shelby will also receive a R20,000 cash prize, a USN product sponsorship valued at R20,000, and an all-expenses-paid USN experience to represent the brand at one of the many health, fitness and sporting events that USN is involved in, both locally and internationally, valued at R30,000.
