Revitalise Natural Health & Fitness Centre will be trying to hang onto their Top Gym prize with a much smaller contingent at the NABBA Manawatu/Wanganui Championships tomorrow night.
For the third year in a row, Whanganui gets to host the regional competition, because Palmerston North has been award hosting rights for the 2019 NABBA NZ Nationals, being held on October 26-27.
After two years being held in the Royal Wanganui Opera House, tonight's show is in the War Memorial Centre, and the entry numbers are expected to be down from the 30 who took part last year, being around 15-20.
Revitalise's Audrey O'Keefe, NABBA's 2017 New Zealand Trainer of the Year, said three of her members are taking part, which is also all of the locals.
Five members of Revitalise took part last year, and their collective points from competition was enough to win the prestigious Top Gym prize after six years of trying.
