Event Calendar

The Hardbody team of Isaac Hinds and Ron Avidan work closely with Bodybuilding.com, FLEX magazine and Muscle & Fitness HERS to bring you coverage from the NPC and IFBB throughout the year. We work exclusively with the NPC and IFBB. If you are interested in booking a photo shoot, please email Isaac or Ron for details. Shoots fill up fast so be sure to secure your spot early.

2011 IFBB Pro Fitness Schedule:
There are fewer qualifying spots this year for the 2011 Olympia. The Fitness International is by invite only which leaves only two other opportunities to qualify in the United States for the 2011 Fitness Olympia. The 2010 Ft. Lauderdale Cup and the 2011 NY Pro Fitness. The other qualifying spots will be held in Germany and Toronto. The Olympia is moved up to the middle of September and the Chicago FIBO and 2011 Ft. Lauderdale Cup will be qualifying shows for 2012. It’s sad to see so few shows but it comes back to the competitors. If you don’t compete promoters will not hold contests.

2011 IFBB Pro Bikini Schedule:
The 2011 Pro Bikini season will be a busy one. There are a ton of shows and a number of events for bikini women to qualify for the Olympia. There are 13 shows before the 2011 Olympia and six after it. The season will get started with the inagural Bikini International in Columbus, Ohio. The event is by invite only and the top six will qualify for the second annual Bikini Olympia. A few new shows were added to the schedule this year and we’ll likely see a number of new ladies on the Olympia stage next year.
