  • "The show was great and well ran. The expeditor really tried to ensure no one missed their call. This was appreciated and noticed. I also loved that we got to do our routine in finals. That practice is invaluable and another opportunity for photos. I love the backdrop and everyone was super friendly and clearly wanted to be helpful. The prices are great and I’d love to come back to this one again. The hotel is fantastic (that kitchen is so helpful). It was a positive experience and the competition was so good. Most competitive show I had ever been in or seen for a NPC regional show.”

  • “I chose the Nashville Fit Show because it’s an all women, super empowering, gorgeous show. I just competed in the bikini division and I absolutely loved it. It was so extremely organized, it was a beautiful Production, I felt like a queen the whole time! I’m standing on a red carpet, I have a flower wall, I have a cookie in my hand, and I couldn’t be happier! The Nashville Fit Show experience is just unmatched and the best show I’ve ever competed in. All the girls are so sweet, it’s extremely organized, and I’m overly informed – which I like!”

    Sophia L, 2025 Competitor

  • “I choose the Nashville Fit Show pretty much every year since my first time in 2020. I competed here and just love it here. It’s all ladies. I think Whitney just does an excellent job just showing us what a really nice show experience can be! The best vendors, I love the photography options, and we’re just very well taken care of. The stage handlers backstage are really kind and very clear, you can’t get lost. It’s just a first class experience. The red carpet is fun. It’s a great way to take pictures with your friends. I’m gonna take one with my boyfriend and next year my mom will be here too! The red carpet is your chance to shine after you shine on stage.”

    Erica D, 2020-2025 Competitor

  • “My experience here at the Nashville Fit Show has been absolutely amazing! The energy is incomparable. Everyone is so nice. Everything is so streamlined and organized and by far one of my favorite shows! I chose Nashville Fit Show over others because of the location, because it’s all women, and just again that energy! I want to be able to help lift up other women and get that encouragement at the same time and not have to worry about a super super long day waiting for the men’s groups and so on. It’s always been a bucket list actually of mine to come to Nashville, but to also be able to compete and make a whole experience out of the entire event weekend so I’m staying longer to make that experience!”

    Megan F, 2025 Competitor

  • “It’s my first show and my favorite thing about the Nashville Fit Show has been the camaraderie and how friendly and nice all the staff, the people are working from the spray tan to the hair to the make up! The whole experience and the way that you are treated! You work hard to get up to this point and they’ve done a really good job of making us feel like royalty really!”

    Jessica D, 2025 Competitor

  • “I had an amazing time! It was my first show and I had no idea what to expect. What I didn't expect was that it would be so full of hope, empowerment, and I'd be so happy! I was happy and at peace the entire time. Show ran efficiently, I felt like the athletes were spoiled (amazing swag bag) and those large metals, just wow!! Great show ran by an inspiring woman. I met so many wonderful people too. Highly recommend! Girl power!”

    Amy Wilhelmi, 2023 Competitor

  • “I had the opportunity to compete at the Nashville Fit Show with all my teammates and it was an incredible experience which I am pleased to say l am returning this year for 2022! I met so many women and teammates I had never met before! From the venue, the set up, promoters and organization of the show, it's been one I've recommended to so many girls! Having to travel to Nashville from Florida had me nervous but everything went so smoothly and I am excited to make a return this year! I cannot wait for another great show at the new venue!”

    Hayley Conley, 2021 Competitor

  • “This is hands-down the best experience I’ve ever had at a fitness competition! From the grassroots efforts of the organizational skills to even the minute details of planning that all went into this event to make it the number 1 and the best opportunity for all the competitors is just beyond amazing from every single aspect. The gifts are amazing and you can just tell that it’s very genuine and Whitney really cares about each individual’s experience at this show.”

    Jen Kerns, 2020 Competitor
