PREMISE

The NGA recognizes that fitness takes on many levels.

The purpose of this division is to allow athletes to compete in a fair and drug free arena who are:

• Physically fit

• Hold a strong image for stage and camera

• Interested in modeling exposure

We are looking for fit, toned, athletic builds, with symmetry and conditioning that is universal in appeal.

PARTICIPANTS

• Males & Females

• Individuals of all ages

• Persons interested in pursuing a modeling career in the fitness and health industries

• Athletes who feel they are marketable on stage and in print, and in a variety of mediums

• Individuals seeking a new personal best with their physiques

• Models interested in expanding their resume with fitness work

COMPETITIVE COMPONENTS

Both men and women will be judged in two rounds, Swimwear and Sportswear.  In both rounds, the overall appearance and presentation will be viewed with the following criterion:

• The overall image of the athlete is a toned, sculpted physique that bears firmness, non-evident body fat and a fitness style. This translates to an all overall body quality with mild definition and muscular separation.  We encourage moderate density on the men and a positive indication that the women are carrying visible muscle. You’ll want to give the impression that you work out, did more than just diet to get here and can maintain this impression long after the curtain closes.

• Balance and symmetry: Upper torso is as developed as lower, side to side and back to front.  Muscle groups are complete and in proportion.

• Tone and Condition: Athleticism in its truest form is seen as a tight, toned and honed physique. We ask that you bring a totally fit look to the stage. This includes complexion, face, hair, smile, and beauty.

• Poise and presentation: How you carry yourself, posture, gait, balance, graceful movement, positioning and poses.

• Style and stage presence: Your own self expression, appeal, how you project yourself, image, camera savvy, stance, posing in creative and attractive ways. Your overall look is important, vibrancy, charisma, confidence, sex appeal, a positive and fun attitude, personality and individual style.

JUDGING

• Round One: Swimwear 60 %

Athletes chose a beach or swim wear outfit that enhances their physique. Pay attention to style, fit, colors, a flattering suit that may be decorated and made to order for the ladies.  We recommend two piece for the ladies, with clear high heels. The class is brought out and quarter turns are called.  Present a confident stance, but not overly flexed. Relaxed poses that show off your overall tone and condition are required. Then, each athlete will conduct a “T” walk and final comparisons will be made as a group.

• Round Two: Athletic attire, theme wear 40%

Once again the class is brought out for overall impression.  Each participant is then allowed 75 second for free style stage presentation. Your theme is up to you and needs to be tasteful. Remember, we are looking at your physique, so allow the clothes to enhance it. You need to bring your own pre-cut CD, studio quality. Judges will review how you work the stage, angles of poses; present your theme, your personality and your overall appearance.  This is your time to shine, show your spirit and have fun! An athlete who does not provide a pre-cut CD will perform to house music.

 

There are no prescribed weight or height limitations or categories.  Both the Men and Women’s division will be one class at this event.
