The roar of the crowd, the shimmer of stage lights, the sculpted physiques – Fitness Atlantic is a spectacle, a celebration of human potential. But it's so much more than a competition. It's a tapestry woven with threads of camaraderie, joy, and the forging of lifelong memories. As we approach the grand event, let's remind ourselves of the true spirit of Fitness Atlantic: a celebration of the journey, not just the destination.

 

Every year, a poignant truth emerges: some contestants become consumed by the pursuit of placement, their focus narrowed to the point where even a podium finish leaves them wanting. It's a bittersweet reality, a reminder that the thrill of the competition should be a part of a larger, more fulfilling experience. We are here to celebrate our achievements, not to be defined by them. To laugh, to connect, to embrace the shared passion that brings us together.

 

As we approach the event, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Maaxx West, our new stage photographer. Maaxx is not just a talented artist behind the lens; she's a WBFF Diva Champion, Content Creator (Photographer/Videographer/Designer) with over 19 years of experience creating amazing and eye-catching content. Originally from Gothenburg, Sweden, Maaxx has been running her own businesses since the age of eighteen. After moving to the US, she became the Photography Manager and later Creative Director for a major supplement company in NYC. She then moved to Miami, FL to build her own brand and now runs her own Media Company, Bustamante Media, and is also an owner of Olympus Lyfestyle, Infinity Fit (workout equipment), and MW Fitness. During her time in NYC, Maaxx also worked as a personal trainer for supermodels, preparing them for the runway, and assisted in productions for major fashion magazines. In 2020, she began competing in the WBFF, winning the Miami show and earning the title of “WBFF Miss Bikini USA.” She’ll be there to capture your moments of triumph, your moments of joy, and the essence of your journey.

We're also excited to offer a unique opportunity: a Team Photo Shoot on Friday, April 25th, in the afternoon. For a rate of $550, coaches and teams can immortalize their bond, their shared journey, and their collective spirit. Years ago, we had the privilege of witnessing the incredible camaraderie of teams like Body Rock and Body Ambition, whose team shoots were featured in Status Fitness Magazine. Those moments, those bonds, those shared victories – they are the essence of what Fitness Atlantic is about. We want to rekindle that spirit, to celebrate the coaches who inspire, the teammates who uplift, and the friendships that endure.

 

Time is fleeting, and the deadline for entries looms. Remember, April 1st is the cutoff to avoid late fees. But why wait? Submitting your entry early not only ensures a smooth process for you but also greatly assists us in crafting the perfect schedule. Your promptness allows us to meticulously plan the divisions and classes, ensuring a seamless flow for everyone.

And for those seeking to expand their experience, additional classes aka "crossovers" can be added until April 1st at a discounted rate of $199. Don't let the opportunity slip away.

 

Last-minute entries create a ripple effect, impacting not just our scheduling but also the intricate process of hair and makeup appointments. We want to avoid these unnecessary delays, ensuring that everyone can focus on the joy of the event.

 

Your dedication, your commitment, your passion – they are the lifeblood of Fitness Atlantic. We want to create an unforgettable experience, a memory you'll cherish for a lifetime.

 

And speaking of unforgettable experiences, don't miss out on securing your tickets to the most epic fitness event of the year! This isn't just a competition; it's a celebration, a testament to the human spirit's ability to transform, to transcend, to inspire.

Table booths are nearly sold out, and VIP floor tickets are disappearing fast. The center section is a sea of sold-out seats, a testament to the anticipation, the excitement, the sheer magnetism of Fitness Atlantic.

 

Mohegan Sun Resort Casino is more than just a venue; it's a stage where dreams come to life, where memories are forged, and where the spirit of Fitness Atlantic shines brightest.

 

Let's remember why we're here: to celebrate the journey, to embrace the camaraderie, to create memories that will last a lifetime. Let's step onto that stage with confidence, with joy, with the knowledge that we are part of something truly special.

 

Fitness Atlantic is not just a show; it's a family, a community, a shared passion. It's a reminder that the pursuit of fitness is not just about physical transformation; it's about the transformation of the spirit, the forging of bonds, and the celebration of life.

 

Let's make this year's Fitness Atlantic an experience that transcends the competition, an experience that celebrates the heart and soul of fitness, an experience that leaves us all with memories to cherish forever. Let's shine, not just on stage, but in the hearts of everyone who shares this incredible journey with us.
