Pro basketball star and Team BSN® athlete Joakim Noah appeared at the FitRx location in Algonquin, IL this past Saturday, and the local fans showed up in droves for a chance to meet a local hero! The crowds essentially shut the store down for the three hours that Joakim was there, with a line that wrapped around the building and people traveling from nearby Wisconsin and Iowa just to get a picture or an autograph. Reportedly the store even had people camping out at 8 AM to secure a premium place in line!

With all the hype surrounding him, Joakim did not disappoint. His big personality was on full display, as he eagerly engaged his fans while signing autograph after autograph and posing for countless photos. He was especially great with the many kids in attendance, and seemed to genuinely enjoy the time he spent with them. In all, over 700 people were able to get stuff autographed, with Joakim continuing to sign as the crowd swarmed him on his way out the building.

It's no surprise the Chicago star was such a big hit, and the fans who showed up certainly had a great time! Joakim continues to be an excellent ambassador for BSN®, representing the brand with passion and enthusiasm.
