BODYBUILDING ORGANIZATIONS THAT MATTER
When we meet another company that gets bodybuilding like we get bodybuilding, we want to acknowledge them. Check out these great brands.
World Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation
There’s a new show in town, and it’s the brainchild of legendary bodybuilder Paul Dillett. It’s a federation with a difference, promoting amateur athletes on two levels and ultimately elevating them to professional status. Are you ready to compete?
UFE
The CBBF is Canada’s only federally recognized governing body for amateur bodybuilding, fitness and body fitness (figure) competition. This is the only Canadian organization that qualifies competitors for competition at the three annual IFBB World Championships, and the only one that awards competitors an IFBB Pro Card.
UFE definitely got off to a HUGE start this year with the UFE Spring Bash. They are pulling out all the stops striving to make themselves the most exciting fitness organization Canada has ever seen!

The common and most important thing with all GASP clothing is that it is designed and produced with no compromises — GASP makes a big deal out of details and therefore you can be sure to get a product loaded with the GASP attitude!
MuscleMag International
Do we even need to say anything? Think of it as the New York Times for bodybuilders. MuscleMag International has been a constant source of information, entertainment and inspiration for thousands of hardcore bodybuilders. We’ve all learned a huge amount just flipping through the pages of MM, and that isn’t ever going to change.
Inside Fitness Magazine
It’s Canada’s biggest bodybuilding and fitness magazine, which is saying a lot, considering how dedicated Canucks are to bodybuilding. You never know what it’s going to take to get inspired and pump up your training, but it’s surprising how often you’ll find it in the pages of IF.
The IFBB
It’s been around since 1946, making it the granddaddy of all bodybuilding organizations. It helped make Arnold Schwarzenegger the king, it runs the biggest show — the Olympia — and it’s even been trying to get bodybuilding into the Olympics. If you’re going to support anyone, you’ve got to support the IFBB. It helped make bodybuilding what it is today.
The Olympia
If you ask any bodybuilder about “the show,” you know he’ll be talking about the Olympia. It’s where the biggest names, and biggest bods, have ruled as King. Arnold, Coleman, Haney and Yates, to name a few, have stepped onstage and redefined what it means to be a bodybuilder.
Sure, they might have added a lot of other events to the Arnold Sports Festival, and those cheerleaders sure are cute, but it’s all about the Classic. When the icon of all bodybuilding, who also happens to be the governor of California, decides to show the world what bodybuilding is all about, you’ve got to pay attention.
