As is customary, Fitness Express has answered the call of the Guyana Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation Inc. (GBBFFI).

The long standing benefactor of the federation has once again agreed to be one of the main sponsors of the annual Novices Championships scheduled for Saturday at the Theatre Guild.

During a simple ceremony yesterday at the entity’s 47 John and Sheriff Streets location, its CEO, Jamie McDonald presented a cheque for a substantial sum to GBBFFI President, Keavon Bess.

The funds will be used to offset some of the expenses of the event which commences at 19:00hrs.

For the fifth year on the Novices stage, the highly anticipated Men’s Physique segment will be contested along with the customary bodybuilding categories, Ms. Bikini and Ms. Body Fitness categories.

This year’s event promises to be of a higher standard since many of the athletes have been through months of grueling contest preparation.

According to Bess, “in excess of 25 athletes, inclusive of five females will be on the stage displaying their physiques.” Admission to the venue is $1500.

The other notable sponsor onboard so far is Law28 Fitness and Stage of Champions. Tickets can be had at Fitness Express and leading gyms across the city.
