SUMMER SUPERBODIES – HOW IT ALL STARTED
Summer Superbodies is a non-affiliated, independently-run bodybuilding and fitness event that aims to bring the joy of competing back to the sport of bodybuilding in South Africa. Conceptualized and launched in 2016, by Ali Sultan and Mubeen Bassa – this dynamic duo identified a gap in the South African bodybuilding industry for an event that focused on creating an athlete-centric experience. With their many years of experience in bodybuilding, both as competitors and show promoters, the mission was clear – create a show by athletes for athletes. The objective is to afford bodybuilding competitors of all levels to gain prestige and financial reward, and have the best experience possible. We want our athletes and audience members to enjoy their competition experience.
HISTORY OF SUMMER SUPERBODIES
Since its inception in 2016, Summer Superbodies has become a well-known and established bodybuilding event on the South African bodybuilding calendar, consistently attracting bodybuilding competitors from novice athletes to experienced bodybuilding athletes. The event strives to promotes health and wellness through the sport of bodybuilding. Summer Superbodies has become a cultural and social event, inspiring the spirit of social cohesion through our efforts to provide a platform for people from all walks of life to come together over the shared love of bodybuilding.
