The Arnold Schwarzenegger Fitness Weekend is the largest fitness event outside of the Olympics. It attracts over 200,000 visitors, with over 15,000 athletes competing in 40 competitions including bodybuilding, fitness gymnastics, martial arts, MMA, cheerleading, power lifting and strongman competition.

Today, most professional and college teams have chiropractors on staff due to the athletes demand for this form of treatment. The unions of medicine, chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture, yoga and massage, has been a tremendous breakthrough for the care of elite athletes, weekend warriors and everyday people.

The Symposium focuses on the close relationship between fitness, health and nutrition, while bringing together the sport of bodybuilding and chiropractic science to educate all participants on the value of natural health through exercise and chiropractic.
