THE inaugural World Fitness Federation Zimbabwe contest was officially launched at Kwekwe Sports Club on Saturday.
The contest is scheduled for May 13 with several athletes expected to take part.
Speaking at the launch WWFZ president Godwin Simbarashe Mhaka said they will have several categories like junior and senior body-building, Bermuda model, bikini model, sports model and strength wars for both men and women.
Athletes are set to walk away with different prizes ranging from trophies, medals, hampers and cash prizes.
WFF Zimbabwe president Mhaka said they are looking forward to the first ever international fitness contest in the country.
“We are glad to see the return of WWFZ Midlands Classic after we were affected by the Covid-19. We are going to have our first edition of the Midlands Classic which will take place at Queens Sports Club on May 13.
“The contest will have several categories and we are receiving an overwhelming response from athletes.
“We are expecting a big turnout as well as some international athletes at the inaugural contest,” said Mhaka.
The WFFZ secretary general Alec Jaure said they are happy with the sponsors who came on board and promised value for their money.
“I think we are ready to host one of our major events of the year. Athletes are showing a lot of interest. This being the first edition, we decided to hold it in Kwekwe so as to spread the sport to different provinces.
“The WFFZ contest is a national event and we all know most of the events are held in Harare and Bulawayo. We opted for a change as we are going to have the nationals in Harare before the end of the year.
“We are excited that we managed to get support from corporates and individuals like Gold Metal Investments, Musabvunda, Kuvimu Aggregates, Muscle Rage, Supplements Factory
“Transform Nutrition by Cathy, JL Fitness, Muscle laps and Eddy “Gearbox” Mutero, among several others who are still coming on board,” said Jaure.
