This was my 4th consecutive year attending this event. It's always an awesome time! What makes it awesome for me is that you're around health conscious people. Some are pro competitors, amatures, and those seeking to achieve this status. They are willing to share their success and give you advice and tips. Last year I bought the VIP package. The biggest advantage for me was being able to talk to the pro's and take pictures with them without standing in long lines or paying for their photo. It amazes me that so much muscle can be packed into the Expo and everyone is calm and having a good time. If you need motivation to get or stay healthy this is fantastic way to boost you. I thoroughly enjoy both the women's and men's competition on Friday and Saturday night. It's something you should definitely experience if you're into fitness and bodybuilding.

This is the most unorganized event ever known to man! We purchased "general admission" tickets in order to watch our son perform in the archery tournament. We drove an hour to get there, and made sure we arrived almost an hour before he was due to shoot .... but we weren't allowed to enter in that particular area because we didn't have "tickets" and we were told we had to ride the shuttle to the other side of Columbus at another location in order to pick up our tickets and get wristbands. We were told the shuttle would be a 5 minute ride, when in fact, each way took over 20 minutes, and nevermind the absolute confusion and lines awaiting us when we finally arrived to get our tickets! And remember, I purchased these on-line in advance so we wouldn't have to worry about buying tickets at the door and standing in line!!!!!
By the time we got back to the archery arena, we had missed over half of our son's shoot; and to top it off, the person who originally sent us all over town on the hunt for "tickets" and wristbands apologized because there was a ticket area in the same building we could have gotten them from!!!!!!
But hey, it was only our son shooting at the state level of competition, so it's not like we missed anything important.

The Arnold Classic was something I have never experienced in person before. I enjoyed attending this event. There was only one issue it was extremely crowded and people stopped right in the middle to have a conversation. Sometimes I felt like I was at a concert the way people would cut you off and push you.

I had a great time meeting many interesting people. It was inspiring to see how dedicated others are to living a life in the gym, and the hard work for preparation for events. I learned a lot of information on supplements, shakes, and proteins. My daughter, 14, loved the MMA and boxing.
As for the set up of events; for an international event I expected more organization. The time frames were so vague for the events, needed detailed explanation of each specific event. The crowd was out of control on Saturday, I felt like a cow being herded. Most surprising was in outside of the main exo, the lifting events stage had TV screens all along the floor stands showing information that we couldn't see. They needed to be mounted higher.
I hope this is good feedback for improvements for next year.

The Arnold Expo was really great when it wasn't peak time. From 10-3, though, there wasn't any room to move or even walk around. You couldn't get to any of the booths because we were all literally standing in an aisle that was too packed to move more than one or two steps at a time. Tickets were still being sold, and people were still being allowed in. It was a fire marshalls nightmare. It was HORRIBLE. After everyone cleared out, though, and it wasn't as busy it was awesome! Lots of great names, cool booths, just lots of fun.
There really needed to be a maximum amount of people allowed in at one time, though. When we were trying to leave it took us a good hour to get from the back of the expo to the door, moving one or two steps at a time. I understand wanting to make money, but those conditions were unsafe and not even enjoyable.

it was the 1st time my wife & I attended the Arnold Sports Fest weekend. We had friends tell us a little bit about it, but were not sure what to fully expect. It turned out to be the best weekend! My wife was not too sure she would like it, since she is not into the bodybuilding/fitness world like my friends & I are. She is excited about going back again next year! I even got to shake hands with AHNOLD himself!!!!!

2nd year in a row, that my husband and I went. Not sure if it was because it was the 25th anniversay or what, but we went on Friday, to the Expo and it was so full, you couldn't move. I think, most people go for the samples, we go to see what is new and to meet the bodybuilders. Surprised that I was able to walk right up to 3, in different booths and no one else seemed to notice they were there. Still is a great event.

There is so much going on at the Arnold that it's tough to see anything. Probably won't go back again. Too many events, too many people and not enough space. This needs to be spread over multiple weekends.
