A category can only be run if there are not less than 6 athletes in this category. If less than 6 athletes, categories will be combined and run as one open class, if possible.

 INTRODUCTION: Judges are strongly reminded that they are judging a WOMEN’S WELLNESS FITNESS competition. The extreme muscularity, vascularity, muscular definition and separation, dryness and/or dieted leanness will not be considered acceptable if displayed by a Wellness Fitness competitor and therefore, must be marked down. 

GENERAL PRESENTATION: 

 The Wellness Fitness division is intended for women who prefer a muscular physique without muscle separation, athletic and aesthetically pleasing, with a slightly bigger body mass than in Bikini Fitness, especially in the hips, buttocks and thighs area.  From this point of view, Wellness Fitness is placed somewhere between Bikini Fitness and Women’s Physique. 

 Judges are reminded that the competitor’s posture and bearing, at all times while onstage, is to be considered. The overall image displayed should demonstrate  poise, femininity and self-confidence. This is especially true at all times when the competitor is performing I-walking in the finals, standing in the line-up and during the comparisons of the quarter turns. When standing in the line-up, the competitors shall be warned against adopting a tense pose, displaying the muscularity. A relaxed stance in the line-up means that the competitor will: – stand erect, front to the judges, with one hand resting on the hip and one leg slightly moved to the side. Second arm hanging at the side. Head and eyes towards the front, shoulders back, chest out, stomach in. On the IFBB Chief Judge command, competitors standing in the line-up should perform the Front Position.
