The tools you need.

Reaching fitness goals requires access to the best tools – the right accessories, equipment, classes and nutrition.

All of the major fitness and health brands attend the Expo to unveil their latest offerings including respected names such as Lorna Jane, Skins, Musashi, Garmin, Step into Life, Fernwood and Les Mills. Touch products, try them and speak to the experts who make and design them.

The motivation you seek.

Be motivated by some of the best in the industry including top fitness celebrities like Michelle Bridges and Commando Steve, who will present their insights and, if you’re game, put you through your paces as well. Head to the The Arena to watch presentations from top athletes and trainers or watch a cooking demonstration on the Expo floor from the Healthy Chef Teresa Cutter.

The inspiration you want.

Nothing’s more inspiring than watching some of Australia’s fittest sportspeople in action. A number of live sporting events will take place across three days including:

• Natural Bodybuilding and Sports Modelling competitions, hosted by the International Natural Bodybuilding Association. This will include the largest event in Australian natural competition history with the creation of the INBA/PNBA Australian Elite Pro Qualifier League. INBA Australia members can earn their Pro Status and compete for a chance to receive return flights and accommodation to the US for the INBA/PNBA Natural Olympia.
• The Jiu-Jitsu State Championships run by the Australian Federation of Brasilian Jiu Jitsu in the purpose-built Martial Arts Arena. Around 1000 athletes are expected to compete.
