What started as a one-day professional bodybuilding competition in Columbus, Ohio in 1989 has grown into the world’s largest multi-sport fitness festival with four days of sports competitions, demonstrations, seminars, entertainment, and the latest fitness products.

The Arnold Sports Festival story dates back to 1970, when Columbus sports promoter Jim Lorimer invited a young Austrian bodybuilder named Arnold Schwarzenegger to Columbus to compete in the Mr. World contest that was accompanying that year’s World Weightlifting Championships.

Schwarzenegger won the contest, earned $1,000 and vowed to return to Columbus one day to partner with Lorimer and promote the sport of bodybuilding. After winning the Mr. Olympia contest every year between 1970-1975, Schwarzenegger was true to his word.

Schwarzenegger and Lorimer promoted the Mr. Olympia contest in Columbus six times between 1976 and 1986 before founding the Arnold Classic in 1989. When Schwarzenegger was appointed the chairman of the President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, he charged Lorimer to expand the scope of the Arnold Classic weekend to include other sports. Martial arts and gymnastics were among the first added. The event was renamed the Arnold Sports Festival in 2006 and now includes more than 20,000 athletes from over 80 nations competing in 80+  events.

NeuX Technologies is exhibiting at the Arnold Sports Festival and will be demonstrating the NXPro, which is powered by Interactive Neuromuscular Stimulation (INS). The NXPro is the 1^st Choice with body builders like 4X Arnold champion Brandon Curry, and is widely used by athletes, personal trainers, and anyone looking to improve performance, build strength, increase speed and enhance mobility. INS can lengthen (stretch/loosen) tight muscles without pain or risk of injury and strengthen weak muscles simply by changing the frequency.

Come by booth 500 and experience the amazing benefits of the NXPro.
