About the Event
FitSciences is promoting its second natural wheelchair bodybuilding, fitness, and model event. This two-day Fitness Competition and Expo is a drug-free and all natural competition and will be held on July 16th & 17th at the Gwinnett Center in Duluth, GA.
International, national and local fitness competitors will gravitate to Georgia with their tremendous success stories of overcoming various diseases and other challenges of life to live healthier lifestyles; in hopes of winning the coveted grand prize in Wheelchair Bodybuilding, Figure, Fitness Model, Spokes Model and Bikini divisions. Healthcare professionals from around the city will join these professionals in a collaboration to create a synergistic effort to expose Georgians to healthy eating habits and activities geared to improve their long term health and fitness lifestyles.
