ABOUT US
ELFIT is a brand that grew in its own unique way. Like all endeavors: it started as an idea, developed through the years to become one of the biggest international fitness competitions in the meridian region. ELFIT gained a lot of recognition over the years & became an important date on many athletes’ & spectators’ calendars.
What we thought was a mere event with a small community became a nation from athletes to judges to family members, friends, guests, and spectators all joined in a one of a kind experience.
Building on the huge success of ELFIT & the brand loyalty we’ve decided to launch a series of events with different concepts & themes all under the umbrella of ELFIT to appeal to other segments who were not engaged.
