Fitness Atlantic Helpful Tips

Fitness Atlantic Helpful Tips

Thank you for your interest in the 2011 WBFF Fitness Atlantic Championships.

The venue is outstanding and seats nearly 5,000 people (but we are only selling 1,000 seats in the front middle section) and the front lobby called “the dome” is 22,000 square feet and will host the interactive workouts. The stage is 60’ feet wide and the backdrop for the finals is a projector image of the sponsor logos and moving head lights and haze just like a real concert. This is a major concert venue and the place is massive along with the backstage area which has two floors so the men will be downstairs and the women upstairs in huge dressing rooms. This event is produced as a “show” from the time the curtain opens until it closes it is something the audience will always remember as a great experience.

Our goal is to make a big impression as this is the 13th Annual Fitness Atlantic but now the first “Official” WBFF show in the USA. We have a fantastic backstage crew to help you along with many current top WBFF Pros attending.

Overall Winners of the Open Divisions in Bikini, Male and Female Fitness Model, Figure and Bodybuilding will turn “WBFF Pro”. Five Pro Cards will be given out.

We have photographers everywhere. Some are flying in from Weds to Sun and doing photo shoots. We will also be doing video interviews backstage. If you want to get published schedule a photo shoot with some of the photographers as the photo shoot images are usually the ones to get published in magazines.
