Dear Athlete:

The NANBF is the largest drug free organization in the Midwest  and has been for over 13 years.  The purpose of the NANBF is to provide drug tested bodybuilding events that will allow the drug free athlete to be confident they are competing against other drug free competitors on stage.  The NANBF enforces a seven (7) year drug free eligibility requirement through polygraph testing of each competitor and urinalysis, no exceptions.

Competition season is upon us once again and excitement is in the air!!!  H & C Fitness and all of our sponsors are happy about the success of last year’s 2nd Annual St. Louis Natural Bodybuilding, Figure and Xtreme Fitness Championship. We drew over 65 competitors from six states. One of our class winners went on to the USA Super Qualifier in Chicago to earn his pro card.

We cordially invite you to compete in this year’s pro-qualifier competition, the St. Louis Natural Bodybuilding, Figure and Xtreme Fit Championship Classic. The show will be held on July 11, 2009. The evening shows will consist of our pro-qualifier and our NEW Pro Show, the IFPA Natural Show Me Mens & Bodybuilding & and Figure Championships. The event will be held in the heart of downtown St. Louis, Missouri , at the historic Roberts Orpheum Theater. This theater has been entirely renovated and completely outfitted with quality furnishings and top of the line equipment. The new lobby, restrooms, bar areas and an auditorium offer elegant style to compliment our event. The guest hotel is the MayFair Hotel, a predominantly all-suite hotel with a special touch of old-world refinement. It is located in the heart of St. Louis’ business and entertainment district. Nearby attractions include the America’s Center Convention Center, the Gateway Arch, restaurants, night life and the homes of the St. Louis Rams, Cardinals and Blues. Lambert International Airport is 17 miles away. This hotel features more than 4,000 square feet of meeting space, including the elegant Mayfair Room, Athenaeum Boardroom, rooftop pool, and fitness center.

Professional hair and makeup will be provided by Christopher Stevens – The Salon. The Master of Ceremonies will be Tim Tialdo, who is featured on "Great Day St. Louis", every morning on KMOV channel 4.  There will be an indoor pump up area to use right before going on stage.

Each competitor will receive a competitors bag with over $50 of supplements from all the top lines, as well as a complementary competition t-shirt.  The overall winners will receive a championship sword and gift bag of Beverly International goods provided by ZenergyPro along with a championship jacket.  This event is also a qualifier for the USA Pro-Qualifier held in October in Chicago. We want this event to be special for you and your family.

We hope to see you in July.  Good Luck and train hard!
