When Sin City Becomes FIT City

By Magda and Paul Wilk

Today we’re writing from Sin city which turns into Fit City each year during the annual Olympia weekend.

Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world,  becomes the center of the bodybuilding world each September!  It’s one of our favorite destinations. Nowhere else will you see so many fit people in one place! We come here every year and always leave motivated!

The weekend gets bigger and better every year. Athletes and fans come from around the world. For most people, the bodybuilding show is the highlight, but Olympia weekend is so much more than that!  You’ll find anything associated with fitness. At the expo you can see everything from the latest apparel and supplements to the newest gym equipment. There’s the always entertaining press conference and you can meet your favorite athlete at the “Meet the Olympians” event. You can also attend the Olympia Victory gala after the show or the superstar seminar the next day!

You can watch all different sports like martial arts, arm wrestling, cross fit, to name a few. It’s all happening during Olympia weekend. This is Vegas and nowhere else can you can enjoy so many different shows, pool parties, and night life! If you need a workout there are so many different gyms to choose from. Healthy food is available everywhere, but we definitely recommend Larissa Reis restaurant Protein House! The food and atmosphere is great and if you’re lucky you’ll get to meet the fitness icons that frequent the place. It’s worth the drive!
