Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) November 23, 2011

Digital Shelf Space Corp. (the Company or DSS) (TSX.V: DSS; OTCQX: DTSRF) is pleased to announce that its innovative GSP RUSHFIT (http://www.gsprushfit.com) ultimate home workout DVD fitness series has become the #1 selling fitness DVD series of all time by a professional athlete in only its first year of distribution with in excess of 250,000 DVDs sold. The GSP RUSHFIT workout series stars the Montreal-based Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), World Welterweight Champion Georges St-Pierre (GSP).

To celebrate the 1st anniversary of GSP RUSHFIT, Georges St-Pierre will be in-store to sign autographs for the first 150 fans at Sport Chek Sherway, located at Unit B1, 167 North Queen Street, Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada on November 26, 2011 at 10:00 AM EST, and at the Sports Experts St. Catherine located at 930 St. Catherine Street West, Montreal, Quebec, Canada on December 4, 2011 at 10:00 AM EST.

We are honored to have partnered with GSP on the GSP RUSHFIT program, and to have achieved such an incredible milestone in only our first year is an amazing feeling, said Jeffrey Sharpe CEO and President for DSS. We believed when we created and produced GSP RUSHFIT with Georges late last fall, that it was going to be a hit with his fans and fitness enthusiasts around the world, but we did not expect to see this level of success in such a short timeframe.

GSP RUSHFIT was designed to appeal to the massive global audience with an interest in MMA and MMA training methods as a complete home fitness workout program. GSP RUSHFIT combines three of the hottest fitness trends. The complete program uses various MMA conditioning exercises, intense circuit style training and body weight training for fitness consumers to build muscle, cut weight and get in shape. GSP RUSHFIT is unlike any fitness program available. This program was carefully designed to give the most efficient and effective workout possible at home with minimal equipment. When consumers see how hard internationally respected athlete Georges St-Pierre pushes himself, working out alongside him will motivate and inspire consumers to push themselves harder, and achieve more than they ever thought possible. Georges St-Pierre has dedicated his life to Mixed Martial Arts and is regarded as one of the top conditioned athletes not only in the sport, but also in the world. Fitness fans everywhere can benefit directly from the same commitment GSP has made to his own health and fitness.
