The Wolmer’s Boys’ auditorium was transformed into a stage of discipline and physique on Saturday, August 15, as the Mayberry JABBFA National Senior Championship crowned its 2026 champions before a packed house of patrons, families and fitness enthusiasts.

The championship, staged under the theme ‘Investing in Excellence, Building Champions’, once again benefited from the continued title sponsorship of Mayberry Investments Limited (MIL) which has backed the event since 2022.

Competitors from gyms across the island battled through 14 categories, with the evening building to three overall titles.

Nicolas Wilson of New Level Gym, who topped the Bodybuilding Middleweight class, went on to claim the Bodybuilding Overall crown. Shaquille Bowen of Classic Body Fitness, winner of the Men’s Physique — Tall Class, was named Men’s Physique — Overall champion.

Monique Trenchfield of Island Body Fitness, who won the Women’s Bikini Fitness — Tall Class, was crowned Women’s Bikini Fitness — Overall champion.
