From September 20-23rd, renowned health and fitness expert and advocate Samir Becic attended the annual Texas Tribune Festival in Austin to meet with top political, media, business, and academic leadership and continue advocating for improved public health nationwide. Through his work as founder of Health Fitness Revolution and recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award for his philanthropic efforts, Samir Becic has established himself as one of the most influential voices in the national conversation around fitness and public health.

While at TTF, Samir met some of our generation’s top political thinkers and officials, including Presidential candidates, Governors, Senators, Congresspeople, Mayors, and other officials to discuss his aggressive campaign to promote fitness across America. Notable meetings included Governors Brian Kemp and Joe Lombardo, former Governor Larry Hogan, Senator Mark Kelly, Political Strategist James Carville, former White House Chief of Staff Karl Rove, former White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod, Congressional Representatives Colin Allred, Lloyd Doggett, Lizzie Fletcher, Ruben Gallego, Tony Gonzales, Sylvia Garcia, Greg Casar and Henry Cuellar, President Biden’s Domestic Policy Advisor Neera Tanden, former Congressman Adam Kinzinger, and Mayors Sylvester Turner, Ron Nirenberg, Kirk Watson, Quinton Lucas, and Oscar Leeser.

As founder of Health Fitness Revolution and author of the Amazon best-selling book “ReSYNC Your Life“, Samir is spearheading the largest population health movement since Arnold Schwarzenegger’s 1990s initiatives as President George Bush Sr.’s “Fitness Czar”. Since 2020, he has dedicated and sent over 2,000 copies of his book to politicians, Fortune 500 CEOs, and school district leaders to motivate change. This is in addition to ranking and highlighting the 500 most influential celebrities in America (actors, musicians, comedians, chefs) on health and fitness. Through his Health Fitness Revolution organization and advocacy efforts, Samir’s message has directly reached over 16 million people across the U.S. He continues to encourage supportive policies and workplace wellness programs among American leaders.

While at the Texas capitol, Samir continued his campaign by engaging in robust discussions about empowering all Americans through improved access to fitness resources and education.

As a 4-time #1 Fitness Trainer in America and Houston’s official “Fitness Czar”, Samir is transforming public health nationwide through his advocacy work. Attendees at the Texas Tribune Festival got a first-hand look at his meaningful efforts and discussion of next steps to further promote wellness across America.
