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 and Mr. Linden scheduled for February 15 at Lichas Hall in the Mining Town.

During a simple ceremony recently 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 18:00hrs.

For just the sixth 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 gruelling contest prep.

According to Bess “The Mr. Linden Classic will also share the stage with the Novices Championship.Thats a new competition to boost the interest of the sport in Linden.”

Bess added that “in excess of 25 athletes, inclusive of females will be on the stage displaying their physiques.” 

Admission to the venue is $1000.

The other notable sponsor onboard so far is Samuel Hardy of Linden.
