Top bodybuilders and fitness experts are ready for the fifth edition of Mr Calfitness Championships to be staged at Fussball Nax Arena in Nakuru starting this morning.

Over 150 participants are ready to showcase their talents and win different awards.

They are drawn from Nakuru, Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Eldoret and Narok.

The one-day competition is under the auspices of Fit Africa (Fitness All Over Africa) with a number of different sponsors injecting their resources into the event.

Competitors pay a registration fee of Sh1500, participants Sh1000 and children Sh500.

Coordinator Mercy Maina said it’s all systems go after accomplishing all that is needed to make the competition a success.

“We are now ready for the event, and judges will be fair to all who have registered for this event from the first to the last whistle,” she said.

The event is a platform for trainers to showcase their talents in different classes and styles of aerobics and fitness championships.

This time, there’ll be awards but not cash prizes, as opposed to the past when it was kind of an entertainment session.

“In the past four editions, we have had a platform that only allows participants to showcase their talents without necessarily engaging them in competition where awards are won. This time, winners must return home happy,” Maina said.

The event focuses on floor and step aerobics, kata box, box step, taebo, taevombat and zumba.

In the final session, it’ll be the last man standing face-off, where clients’ strength and stamina are put to the test.
