Fitness championships
for everyone.

The World Fitness Alliance puts on fitness and bodybuilding championships where everyone belongs on stage — from first-time competitors to seasoned pros chasing a pro card. Every show runs classes for every level and age group, in categories from Bikini and Bodybuilding to FitModel and Wellness.

Show day is a full production: prejudging and finals on one stage, international judging standards, cash prizes, pro card opportunities, and a crowd that celebrates every single athlete who walks out under the lights.

Got questions? Start here.

Who can compete?

Everyone. WFA shows run classes for first-timers (Debut and Novice), Open, Masters, Teens/Juniors, and Pros — you don’t need a competition history to step on stage.

What THE PROs are saying

“After spending decades as a physician, a former Stanford gymnast, and a parent who navigated the collegiate athletics recruiting process twice over. My new book, Winning On and Off the Field, breaks down everything for parents and student-athletes. As a Fitness Athlete I have been honored to compete with the World Fitness Alliance, where I became, and still compete as a Pro! It is not an easy journey making it to Pro status. It takes years of dedication and a belief in yourself beyond what anyone else might say. Sometimes the hardest thing to get right is your nutrition. As a physician I have spent years developing and writing 2 books for both men and women on nutrition, that I believe will help get you across that "Fitness Finish Line"! I'd love to connect with you! You can contact me on Facebook @Trina Wiggins! See you at the next WFA Championship!”

Dr. Trina Wiggins

“Man, no truer words we're ever said to me more than "Trust The Process"! I hated those words! I hated hearing those words from the judges year after year, after year! It feels like I quit 50 times; and like I started again 51 times! And then I was Pro! The feeling of achieving that dream was amazing! I screamed out loud on the stage and the whole audience was there for me, right behind me, cheering me up! Now that I am Pro, I'm beginning to climb a new ladder of success. Now, when I look back at my older pictures, I can see exactly what the judge's feedback was trying to coach me through. I am so happy to say that I can't wait for them to see how I've improved now! Come join us in the World Fitness Alliance and... Trust The Process!”

“I had no idea what it was going to be like coming over to the World Fitness Alliance. I didn't know if I would be accepted or if the people in the organization, the staff, the judges or the other athletes would welcome me. I was nervous, I had no support, no coach or friends in the audience to cheer for me. I was all alone and just taking a chance that everything would turn out ok. And guess what, even though they didn't know me, that didn't stop the judging from being fair. I trusted them and they honored me and my work, by making me a Pro! If you wanted to be judged fairly in a place where you don't have to "pay your dues" to the organization, and the best person wins, the World Fitness Alliance is the place for you too!”

Alex Kim

“What I love about the World Fitness Alliance is how open and inclusive they are to all types of fitness category. They really try to make sure everyone can have a shot at accomplishing something they can be proud of. They aren’t just out for the big numbers—it’s about the people! When I started competing with the WFA a couple of years ago I had a loss in my family and that first competition was very special to me. Today I wholeheartedly recommend participating in the events, even if you’re just starting and want to see how the pros do it!”

“No matter who you are, or what your struggles, you can make your dreams come true. The WFA gave me a home and a place to face all of my demons. Don’t ever let anybody tell you that you are not good enough! Having a fitness goal outside of myself gave me the courage to change the inside too! If you are lost and are looking for a healthy new home, the World Fitness Alliance is the place for you! I went from ‘over-fat’ to mostly emotionally healthy (I still have my days). But I get to wake up everyday now knowing that I was once in a very bad place, and now you can call me… WFA Bikini Pro 2022!”

Ashlie Laidlaw Bikini Pro 2022

“What an amazing journey it has been. After 4 years competing in the World Fitness Alliance, I am now a double-pro! Pro Physique - Natural 2022 & Pro FitModel Natural 2023! The best feeling in the world as a Fitness & Bodybuilding Athlete Pro is getting Sponsored and/or getting paid! I now have been both! Come over to the WFA and you can have it to!”

Rich Forbes Natural Physique Pro & FitModel Pro 2023
