The city of Houston, USA proclaimed January 10, 2023 “Samir Becic Day” to honour the Bosnian “Fitness Czar” who has been a prominent figure in Houston’s fitness community for more than two decades.

Becic, who is a fitness expert, philanthropist, entrepreneur and the founder of the non-profit organization “Health and Fitness Revolution,” has been engaged in Houston in an effort to make the city healthier and fitter and played a key role in building the city’s fitness culture.

He was awarded the proclamation by Mayor Sylvester Turner and the City of Houston.

In 2018, Turner named Becic “Houston’s very own Fitness Czar” for his work on the city’s health initiatives.

“Today, after 4 years as Houston’s Official “Fitness Czar” and 20 years of volunteering for the city, Samir is receiving a proclamation for his hard work and dedication to the City of Houston, his dedication to health, fitness, and making the world a better place. He has invested this time to not only improving the health of Houstonians but also educating them on how they can take steps toward making their lives healthier,” the Health Fitness Revolution website said.

Becic has also been vocal about the political crisis in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 2021, he sent letters to 100 U.S. Senators and the 435 members of the House of Representatives warning them about the situation in the country.
