Welcome to IFBB Physique America Florida

IFBB Physique America is the only United States affiliate to the International Federation of Bodybuilding & Fitness (IFBB), which was founded in 1946 by Ben and Joe Weider. The IFBB is now 196 nations strong making it the 4th largest Sports Federation in the world.

In 1969, the IFBB became a member of the General Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), now SportAccord. The IFBB is also affiliated with the International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education (ICSSPE), the International Pierre de Coubertin Committee, the World Games (IWGA), the International Council of Coach Education (ICCE), the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) and the Association of Pan American Sport Federations (ACODEPA).

The IFBB is also recognized by over 90 National Olympic Committees and will be a participant in the 2019 Pam Am Games in Lima, Peru. 

 Dear Competitor, We are happy to announce the formation of a new Bodybuilding/Fitness Federation, IFBB Physique America, whose main objective is to give back to the athlete. Under the expert direction of our Florida Chairman, George Jonson, and with the assistance of all the Federation Promoters in the state, the first show in Florida will be held on March 31, 2018, at the Crest Theater in Delray Beach. This show will not only be the inaugural event in Florida for the new Federation, but it will set a precedence that has not been seen in the industry. The overall winners in Women’s Bikini, Women’s Wellness, Women’s Figure, Men’s Physique, Men’s Classic Physique and Men’s Bodybuilding will represent the United States in the Arnold Classic Brazil, which will be held in San Paulo, April 20-23, 2018. The best part is that IFBB Physique America will be paying the airline ticket to Brazil and the hotel accommodations for the qualified athletes. This will be the first of many events that IFBB Physique America will be sending athletes to international competitions. In addition, the top 5 in each division of every show on the IFBB Physique America calendar will qualify to compete in NYC in September to win a spot on the team that will represent the United States at the IFBB Men’s World Amateur Championships in Spain and Women’s World Amateur Championships in Poland in the fall of 2018. Any questions or information, please contact IFBB Physique America Florida Chairman, George Jonson at ifbbpa@aol.com. We look forward to seeing you compete as we start on a historic journey to make competing exciting and fun again. Sincerely, Wayne S. DeMilia CEO/President, IFBB Physique America
