The Olympia Expo is over 500,000 square feet of floor space with more than 30,000 bodybuilding and fitness fans from all over the world who come out to see, sample and purchase the newest products from over 750 booths of supplement, apparel and fitness companies while having a chance to meet athletes, celebrities and industry icons.
They have an expo that takes place Friday and Saturday. For a minimal fee, fitness fanatics from all over the world join in one place for the biggest event in the bodybuilding world. If your a fan of Quest Nutrition, BPI Sports, 6 Pack Fitness, and other popular nutrition companies, this is the place for you! What makes it even better is that they sell their items at a lower price than usual. But if you plan to travel to the event in the future, be sure to take an empty suitcase to get your items home!
It's really entertaining to people watch at these shows. You have your (in my opinion) grossly muscular females that you can't stop staring at in disgust, to your tight and toned bikini models, to your old grandmother, to the obese couple looking for weight loss solutions to what looked to me like strippers. You name the kind of person, I'm pretty sure I saw them there! Aside from the expo, the weekend consists of competitions and sporting events. While I was rooting for 4x Mr. O Winner Jay Cutler to make a comeback and take first, Phil Heath won the title this year and Jay placed 6th :( There are other titles like Ms. Olympia, Figure Olympia and Fitness Olympia that I didn't really pay much attention to. But one winner I did catch was the Bikini Olympia Ashley Kaltwasser. She's a newer face in these competitions and she beat out 2 ladies I follow on Twitter and Facebook, Nathalia Menlo and Amanda Latona. So congrats to her!
Another year gone. So if you missed this past weekend, be sure to check it all out again next year!
