JUDGING CRITERIA
The New You is a transformation class to inspire others to make a change using fitness & lifestyle changes.
Our goal is to provide an opportunity for those who have gone through inspirational journeys, in transforming their bodies and lives but are not necessarily comfortable to step on stage in a posing suit but by showcasing it on stage in athletic wear.
This is a class for those who have lost tremendous amounts of weight, have made healthy habits a priority, reversed obesity related diseased, come off prescription drugs etc. and are genuinely proud of this.
Competitors Are Judged In 2 Rounds: Overall body change – there will be a before photo to be displayed on presentation screenTransformation story – to be submitted prior to the event, will be summarized by the emcee, while athletes are on stage

Stage Walk Pattern
Athletes will begin lined up at the back of the stage (or will start off stage) before being introduced one at a time. Each athlete will then have 30–60 seconds to walk the stage and showcase their transformation, whilst their bio is read.
There is no specific walk or posing routine. Athletes are encouraged to express themselves and pose however they feel comfortable, including performing traditional bikini/physique walks while including bodybuilding poses if they choose.
The focus of the New You Class is to have fun, celebrate each athlete’s journey and confidently showcase their transformation on stage.
You will execute poses along the front line:
- Athletes will move freely along the front line of the stage for 30–60 seconds.
- There are no required poses or positions—athletes may pose however they like, including bodybuilding poses.
- The focus is on having fun and confidently showcasing their transformation.
