KING Level Fitness’ Principal, Tremel King, will be hosting an arm-wrestling competition on Sunday, November 27 at Tower Hotel Suites’ Pool Side.

This competition is open to anyone and will feature two categories, namely the over-200lb and under-200lb. Participants will be vying for a total prize purse of $300 000.

King, who is one of the better Personal Trainers, locally, shared with Chronicle Sport that he believes that a healthy lifestyle is very important in ensuring the quality of life for an individual, and he decided to host this competition for not only the fitness aficionados but also anyone who would be willing to come out and test their strength.

Apart from CrossFit athletes, bodybuilders and general fitness enthusiasts, a good number of members from the military forces are signing up for the event. To this end, he believes that the normal man would be privileged to go against and get a win against these perennial favourites.

The cost to enter the competition is currently set at $2 000 but King is working on having that entry fee waived once he attains sponsorship for the event. The first-place prize will be $75 000, second-place $50 000 and third $25 000; for both weight classes.

King mentioned that this competition is just the first of many and going forward there will be special categories for women and youths.
