The 23rd Annual Arnold Sports Festival Weekend

The World Inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Arnold Schwarzenegger, a man of his word made a promise 23 years ago that upon his retirement that he would continue to nourish his love for the sport by way of promoting bodybuilding and fitness as a whole, and that he did, making each year more lavishing then the last leaving memorable experiences and impressions on people's lives forever. Fitness fans from across the nation once again joined together in Columbus Ohio to share their passion for sports, health and fitness. Also added this spectacular weekend, was the National Fitness Hall of Fame with various industry icons inducted into the Hall of Fame such as 8-time Olympian Lenda Murray and 8-time Olympian Lee Haney.

It was also the 1st Arnold Sports FILM FESTIVAL AWARDS which I had the opportunity to attend this Red Carpet celebrity affair.

Working as a media correspondent for Iron Man Magazine I joined Ruth Silverman , Senior Editor to bring you the latest coverage in Women's Fitness, Figure , Bodybuilding and of course the 1st ever Bikini International. Also joining us Carolyn Bryant. ...making us the "Iron woman" of the weekend. Straight from the media pit we anxiously noted the callouts, discussed our thoughts, and shared our debates, critiques and of course the things that make you go "hmmmm". "Dr. Ruth" is know for brash and sassy commentary as we wrapped up each segment with a wrap up review video now posted on IronMan Magazine
