Four fitness challenge athletes are set to represent Ghana the international fitness challenge competition at the IFBB Rafael Santonja African Cup in Pretoria, South Africa, from May 16-18, 2025.
The four athletes; Kelvin Solomon Pinto, Portia Tekpe, Tina Ansah, and Simon-Cephas, were the top four finalists at the Ghana Fitness Challenge Competition held in June, 2024.
Fitness Challenge is a competitive fitness contest dedicated to athletes who prioritize muscle and cardiac performance over competitions based solely on muscle and lack of body fat.
It was introduced by the International Federation of Bodybuilding in 2021. The GBFA organized its first fitness challenge event in 2024.
The athletes who would be competing internationally for the first time will be accompanied by the president of the Ghana Bodybuilding and Fitness Association, Mr. Abdul Hayye Yartey, a judge, Prince Oliver Ngisah and a GBFA Fitness Challenge Coach, James Bamfo
The GBFA Fitness Challenge Head, Mrs. Bambie Sam said the technical and fitness team have prepared the athletes thoroughly for the international stage, and they are confident that they will make Ghana proud as they compete against some of the best in the world.
