CATEGORY MEN
Men's physique
This series was created for the athlete who wants to stand on stage with a beautiful beach look. So nicely toned but not too muscular to stand with the bodybuilders. So a nice six-pack and nicely toned but not much mass. We do not look for a bodybuilder in a swim short, but a well-trained athlete with a nice look and presentation. A kind of nice beachboy actually. The shorts may be in all colors and must come to the knee. You can not do bodybuilding poses here, just show the four sides in a good way.

CATEGORY WOMEN
Bikini
This category has been introduced in 2011 and is aimed at women who keep their body in shape and eat healthily. Overall body lines, balance, and proportions, body tone, and healthy appearance are taken into consideration. High-intensity weight training and hard, lean muscles are not necessary. The emphasis is on a well-shaped, fit, healthy and attractive appearance, similar to that of models.
Competitors are assessed in two rounds, wearing a two-piece bikini and high-heels. In both rounds, quarter-turns, including front, back and both sides stance, are performed. As well, the final round begins with “I-walking”, which gives each competitor a chance to present her body and her charm on the move.

Wellness Fitness
The Wellness Fitness division is intended for women who prefer a muscular physique without muscle separation, athletic and aesthetically pleasing, with a bigger body mass than in Bikini Fitness. From this point of view, Wellness Fitness is placed somewhere between Bikini Fitness and Women’s Physique.
Assessing of the physique, judging criteria and rounds are the same as Women’s Bikini Fitness. Competitors perform quarter turns in all rounds plus individual “I-walking” presentation in the finals. Vertical proportions (legs to upper body length) are ones of the key factors. Horizontal proportions (hips and waist to shoulder width) may favor women with a bit bigger hips, thighs and buttocks

BodyFitness
Bodyfitness has been implemented by the IFBB in 2002 to give a chance to compete for a wide group of shapely women without the routine rounds, just the physique ones. This formula has proved to be useful and the number of participating competitors increases each year. Later on, IFBB created for them the possibility to show their figure in motion during a short individual onstage presentation called “I-walking”.
Currently, there are two rounds of quarter turns in the bikini-style costume of their own choice and classic stiletto pump of any color. At the beginning of Round 2 (finals) top 6 competitors perform individual “I-walking” presentations and then quarter turns as a group
