Reigning champion Andrew Senoga sounded a warning to his fellow competitors in Thursday’s press conference, saying that he is ready for the season's opening championship.

Stiff competition is expected from bodybuilders like; Mubikirwa Isaac, Byron Joel and Byekwaso Bernard. In the women's fitness challenge, Kasuubo Irene will prove to the ladies that she still has prowess in the sport.
