Well maybe it is time to back up all that 'heart  felt' backslapping by coming down-under and supporting his show....for once in your life....

Chick, actions speak louder than words.

Mike Kefalianos for sure, he has been knocking on the door of some big shows and could be top 3 anywhere.
Ivan Sadek is capable of a top 3 finish but not competing this year.
Con Demetriou can be very good if he comes in sliced. Not sure if he is coming this year but he is a very good bodybuilder



 Con won't be there this year. Sliced? Con is one of the most sliced athletes on stage, he just needs a little more size.

Con has great shape and lines but his contest day look is hit or miss. I saw him at the Flex pro last week and he could get a lot harder.
I also talked to him about his presentation, compulsories and 1/4 turns. He needs to work it a lot harder.

Silvio Samuel will make his comeback show here in Melbourne. He has won the Ironman and been runner up here. (subject to visa approval).

He is one of the most ripped athletes ever and great with his fans.

After promoting professional bodybuilding and fitness events and running gyms  for over 20 years, we have seen our industry grow to enormous heights.
The push to be fit and toned has never been more popular, the awareness of the importance of good health has never been as high.
The most popular aspect of our bodybuilding and fitness events, although smaller than FitX, has always been the expo.
 
It became obvious that it was time to expand our vision to create an event that included all fitness and sporting participants and fans,
FitX is the show that the fitness industry and gym goer has demanded. We have developed a concept that involves a unique combination of exhibition and entertainment.
For the first time ever in Australia we will see amateur and pro bodybuilding, pro figure and strongman competitions under one roof.
The meet and greet opportunities for UFC, bodybuilding and sporting fans alike has never been done anywhere in Australia.

We would like to acknowledge and thank our naming partner, Global Fitness Institute.
Our event partners GNC, Gaspari Nutrition, MSR Motorsports and Matrix.  Our Media partners, Herald Sun and TripleM.

The support and belief of these partners has enabled us to make this, the first ever FitX event to be world class in every aspect.
The response and support of our diverse range of exhibitors is testament to the demand for an event like this.

We encourage industry professionals, gym owners and trainers to network extensively and take full advantage of this incredible meeting opportunity.
We trust that you, the fan and visitor will take the time to support and engage with all of the exhibitors that have helped to bring FitX to you. 
Enjoy the entertainment on and around the main stage. You will see some amazing feats of strength, skill and incredible human development throughout both days of FitX.

FitX will continue to grow, we will endeavour to raise the bar, to bring you the best of everything available for many years to come.

Be entertained, be inspired and get involved!

Tony Doherty
Event Promoter.

Looks like more undeserving bodybuilders will be earning a trip to the Olympia.

After much negotiation, we have officially signed Johnnie O Jackson. Johnnie was 7th in the Arnold last week and is at his all time best.

VIP and regular seats still available.
