The world's strongest, fittest and most agile athletes will converge on Columbus for the Arnold Fitness Weekend in what promises to be a record-breaking year with 10,000 athletes and over 75,000 attendees expected. The 20th edition of the Fitness Weekend will draw an estimated 10,000 athletes competing a variety of events. Some 75,000 attendees are expected for the continuous competition and entertainment.
"The Arnold Fitness Weekend is more than an event. It's an experience," said Jim Lorimer, co-producer of the Fitness Weekend. "This is the premier destination for the world's greatest bodybuilders and fitness competitors. But it also is fast becoming a forum of choice for many of the world's best athletes."
"Arnold Schwarzenegger showed that fitness is fun; you could see that each time he got on stage as a competitor. Today, the Arnold Fitness Weekend is the ultimate expression of the many ways in which fitness is fun," Lorimer said.
The Arnold Fitness weekend includes the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the Ms. Fitness International competition, sumo wrestling, armwrestling, amateur bodybuilding, and much more.
