We at the UFA are providing a competition for the Fitness Athlete that has something for everyone that has a desire to test their mettle against all those that step up to the plate or better yet “Get under the bar.”
We have long desired to see a competition that is based in the movements that you can find in every gym around the nation and the World. We have compiled these challenges for you “The Strength and Fitness Athlete” to claim your spot among those that ache to see how good they really are. We realize this is not for everyone and we don’t claim to be everything for everybody, but in this arena the UFA seeks to highlight all those Strength and Fitness Athletes in all the gyms around the World.
The UFA will ensure all of our athletes have a level playing field and are competing against their peers. All competitions have the same categories for an athlete to enter:
- The Open: Compete against all Comers. Anyone who enters this competition wants to see how they do against anyone who enters this category who is in their weight class regardless of age! If you are 35, 40 or 50 years old and think you are just as good as the 21 year old, Well the UFA says “Go For It”.
- Age & Weight Groups: Just like Bodybuilding you will compete against the person that is in your weight class and your age.
