Fitness Posing & Symmetry

POSING ELEMENTS:

The human body is a miraculous creation, full of beauty. Couple that with great stage presence and a fantastic attitude, and suddenly Fitness Athletes have a captivated audience.

The symmetry round allows athletes to showcase their physique as a beautiful canvas.  One which is making its debut as a fantastic work of art that took time to sculpt, develop, and nurture.  Similar to a masterpiece in the making, the athlete represents the artist and the FAME Stage represents their moment for the great unveil. With eager eyes and a sense of awe in the air, the crowd goes wild... for this time the artist IS the art! And the art is the artist!

As per the WNSO, Fitness competitors  perform a 1 point walk, stopping at front center stage, and perform a front pose, followed by a rear pose, followed by a final front pose.  The competitor will then walk to the back of the stage and line up until all competitors in their category have finished their individual presentation.
 

This round continues with all athletes being directed to come forward as a group.  The Head Judge will then call all competitors to the front of the stage to be assessed in the four quarter turn positions: Front Pose; Left Profile, Rear Pose, and Right Profile.  During the assessment, the judging panel will be evaluating the competitor’s physical development and presentation including symmetry, muscularity, conditioning, posing ability, and overall stage presence. There will likely also be some shuffling of positions should that be necessary for the judges.

During the group comparisons, athletes should be able to maintain each pose while the judges are making their assessments.

Maintaining and executing the poses should appear fluid and effortless.

A group POSE-OFF generally follows the mandatory call outs. At this time all athletes are expected to rush to pose-off for the awaiting cameras and fans.  Of course, although it's a really fun moment, the judges are still judging and are actually looking for those who seem to be in their element.
