While most recruiting services simply flood college coaches with thousands of athlete profiles, IMEC Magazine offers targeted exposure featuring 400 high school athletes from Greater Cincinnati in football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, track, and soccer.

Each student athlete is highlighted in a full-size, glossy color magazine mailed to over 400 athletic directors, coaches, and recruiting personnel at Division I and II, HBCU, and JUCO schools via the U.S. Postal Service in August 2025. Profiles are also included on the website and mobile app for online searchability and periodic updates.

Professionally developed profiles grouped by sport and gender will include the following attributes for each athlete:

• Athletic strengths and achievements, academic goals, community contributions, and leadership qualities
• Multiple high-resolution photos of athletic feats
• Contact information, social media profiles, and mailing addresses for immediate communication

Unlike most gyms and fitness centers, IMEC Fitness and Training Complex specializes in functional training, which uses body weight to create tension and resistance to build joints and muscles naturally.

IMEC Fitness and Training Complex customizes workout schedules, personal training, meal plans, and coaching sessions for each adult client to obtain better health. Certified personal trainers lead adult workout routines, including warm-ups, lifting weights, aerobic exercises, interval training, and high-intensity total-body movements. Most adults who adhere to their recommended fitness program improve their cardiovascular and metabolic health and reduce body fat.
