As part of an ongoing expression of gratitude and respect for those serving in the military, Joe Weider’s Olympia Fitness & Performance Weekend is proud to offer free tickets to active duty men and women who wish to attend the fitness industry’s annual showcase event this September in Las Vegas, NV.
Chief Olympia Officer Dan Solomon explains, “This program was started by the late Ben Weider and we remain committed to welcoming active duty military to the Olympia as our guests. The relationship between the military and the bodybuilding and fitness community is incredibly important to all of us here at the Olympia and we’re proud to announce the continuation of this great Olympia tradition.”
Retired Air Force Master Sergeant Rob Wilkins, a long-standing liaison between the military, the Olympia and the IFBB Professional League, adds, “On behalf of military men and women stationed around the world, we are so pleased by the enduring friendship that exists between the Olympia and our military. I’m looking forward to seeing members of our Military at this year’s Olympia Weekend.”
