Congratulations GBO Pro Athlete:
FXB Fitness Classic Registration Form
Rules for Competing in 2023-
EFFECTIVE JAN. 2023
GBO Amateurs membership will be $120 and Professionals membership will be $150 good for a entire year from the date of purchase. Amateur Athletes purchase your membership at WWW.GBOONLINE.COM
All registration and membership purchases are final, no refunds.
Professional Athlete Registration Global Bodybuilding Organization reserves the right to refuse Amateur or Pro Memberships and G.B.O. can exercise this right.
As a Professional GBO Athlete, you will compete at GBO Pro Level sanctioned events or with permission at a Pro level with another organization that will accept your status as a GBO Pro.
New Pro Membership: Please note that you have 90 days to activate your New Pro membership. If you do not activate it, you will have to re qualify for your status. Once you are accepted as a GBO Professional Athlete under membership, you can still compete as an amateur in a sanctioned event for an organization / federation that is at least 5 years or older and offers Professional Status to their athletes. This would be for established organizations/federations that do not recognize your GBO Pro status. Due to this rule, you must keep up your Pro Membership with Global Bodybuilding. IF you compete as an amateur with another organization and your Pro Status is not kept up with Global Bodybuilding, you must requalify for Pro Status.
A Professional Athlete may not compete as an amateur in an event hosted by an individual or considered an unsanctioned event as these events do not offer professional status and are merely for competition with amateur athletes. A GBO Professional has the right to turn down a Professional status and remain as an amateur if they want to compete with both sanctioned federations/organizations and unsanctioned and individualized events. You can compete to requalify for status at a later date with Global Bodybuilding Organization as amateurs can compete in both sanctioned and unsanctioned events.
Remember, Global Bodybuilding Organization reserves the right to refuse Amateur or Pro Memberships and G.B.O. can exercise this right.
A Commitment Entry will be required with a small administration fee attached for all untested events and tested Professional events.
The following will apply as cash prize awards for Women Beach Body
Women Beach Body
1st Place - $500
2nd Place - $300

Note that winners will be required to fill out a W-9 form with Global Bodybuilding Organization before receiving their winnings.
The Commitment Entry is due by and no later than July 17 , 2023. You MUST have a GBO Pro Membership (including renewals) on file to compete.
I agree to the following rules and regulations and by signing this entry, I acknowledge the agreement and understand there is an administrative fee of $50.00.
READ BEFORE SIGNING Global Bodybuilding Organization does not and shall not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender expression, age, national origin, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or military status, in any of its activities or operations.
A code of conduct is put in place for all athletes to understand. GBO Policies and Procedures
A. Zero Tolerance- GBO is a Zero Tolerance Organization. While we only drug test our Natural shows, our non tested shows are for athletes who want to compete but are under doctor’s care eliminating their chances of competition in our Natural Events. We encourage all Athletes to be drug free. Any signs of drug use will result in the athlete not placing during the judging period. Examples: (extended abdominal, synthol abuse and/or inflammation/swollen due to injections). All Athletes are required to read our divisional rules.
We promote a healthy competition. Our divisions are specific to what Global Bodybuilding Organization is looking for. Example: Figure - Competitors will be judged on symmetry, muscle development and tone, and overall stage presence and posing. Judges will be looking for a small degree of muscularity with no extreme striations visible. Hair, make-up, suit, jewelry and tan should all complement the competitor’s figure overall.
B. Athlete Code of Conduct/Suspensions/Disqualification Disciplinary action may be considered by the Directors with communication to the President of GBO for any violations bringing discredit upon the GBO, including, but not limited to, passing “bad” checks, participation of athletes in an improper age division, or any violation of any part of the rules and guidelines under the Global Bodybuilding Organization. In instances of alleged violations, Board of Review action may be taken against athletes due to conduct unbecoming of and not limited to athletes, their coaches, parents/friends etc.
1. Disqualification Criteria due to unsportsmanlike conduct will not be tolerated. Such conduct includes any conduct which is unethical or dishonorable, such as disrespectfully addressing an official, fighting, taunting, and criticism of another competitor and/or using profanity. GBO specifically disapproves of any form of taunting which is intended or designed to embarrass, ridicule or demean others under any circumstances including on the basis of race, religion, gender or national origin.
2. This rule shall apply to all athletes and their team personnel, friends and family.
3. Engagement in unsportsmanlike conduct may result in disqualification from that event and/or further competition within GBO. Removal of an athlete's coach or other personnel shall be from further involvement/attendance at an event. In addition, penalties that may be imposed include, but are not limited to: Suspension, expulsion, probation, reprimands, warning, or other penalties appropriate to the situation. Penalties may be imposed at the local GBO District level, National Qualifier level and/or National level or Pro Level show. An inappropriate action at a District or National Qualifying meet may be grounds for disqualification or expulsion of an athlete for the entire contest for a set period of time. Penalties may be imposed for violations of GBO's Athlete Contest Rules, Ethical Policies, and Code or the competitive rules of the GBO.
