Best bodybuilding show I have ever been for! Would be there next year!yuyang liuSeptember 30, 2026
I had a great time at VanCity! All of the staff were supportive, encouraging, and ready to answer any questions I might have. The check in process and backstage environment were enjoyable, and I felt as if every member of the VanCity team was just as excited to have me there as I was to be there. There were some cool booths, promos and giveaways as well. Overall, it was obvious that this was an athlete focused event, with an emphasis on providing an enjoyable experience for everyone. Iβll definitely be back!Chloe RaineSeptember 27, 2026
The promoters did a good job of running the show and creating a safe and fun environment for people to come together to share their love of bodybuilding!tamilore adelekeSeptember 25, 2026

Amazing experience overall. They were super helpful with all the details and info needed for the show. When I got there I was surprised as to how organized the event was.AZAD SCHONSeptember 24, 2026
I had an absolute blast at this show! It was super well organized and as a first time competitor they made sure I knew where I was going and gave me a pin that let everyone know I hadnβt competed before which was amazing because I had a bit of extra help when I was feeling confused and lost. They where lovely and I will be back again!Meghan FSeptember 24, 2026
Absolutely incredible show for both the athletes and viewers!! They really do put everything they got into this show, from organization, communication, and general vibes from staff all around. I had so much fun and would recommend this show to anyone. I won the overall bikini title and the prize packages and photos have been so special, thank you Vancity Showdown for a weekend to remember forever!Paige EbsworthSeptember 24, 2026
I had an incredible experience competing at this show for my Bikini Debut.
Registration was smooth and simple, and everything leading up to the stage was organized and stress-free.
I felt genuinely welcomed and supported throughout the whole process.
Truly an unforgettable event!
I would most certainly attend another event hosted by Influential Sports Inc.Brittanie LabellSeptember 24, 2026
My experiences at Vancity showdown have been fantastic. So much so that after doing my first show with them, I had to come back again. And I intend to again in the future. A warm welcoming team, seamless experience, and the overall energy is amazing. Definitely recommend this if youβre looking for a memorable and quality experience! Thanks vancity team, and see you again soon!Denning UllrichSeptember 24, 2026
Very well ran. Venue was clean. Very good experience for a first time competitor.MofanSeptember 24, 2026
Amazing experience at the 2026 Vancity Showdown! This was my first bodybuilding competition, and I couldnβt have asked for a better experience. The event was well organized, the atmosphere was incredible, and everyone involved made the athletes feel welcomed and supported.
Walking away with the Menβs Physique Overall win made the experience even more unforgettable. Huge thank you to the promoters, staff, judges, volunteers, and everyone who helped put the show together. Iβll definitely remember this one and would highly recommend Vancity Showdown to anyone looking to step on stage! πͺπΎπAB BallerSeptember 24, 2026
An amazingly smooth ran show! Couldnβt have picked a better show to debut at.Tiana RoodeSeptember 24, 2026
This was my first bodybuilding competition, and I honestly couldnβt have asked for a better experience. Everything was well organized, the staff were incredibly supportive, and the atmosphere throughout the whole event was amazing.
Stepping on stage for the first time was something Iβll never forget. I learned so much from this experience and left feeling even more motivated for whatβs next.
Thank you to everyone involved for making my first show such a memorable one. Iβll definitely be back!Makoto HiraiεΉ³δΊθͺ September 24, 2026

I've done the show 4 times now, and the current behind stage production and processes are fantastic to getting through the event pain free. One suggestion is that I could not find any info on whether there was any warmup equipment offered. just a tiny detail.Martyn LafleurSeptember 22, 2026
Had a great time last year, and will do it again this yearAlexis βCorvisalexβ KerjosseSeptember 2, 2026
The Vancouver Island Showdown was amazing, very organized and a super fun show. Everyone was very friendly and made the process feel simple (especially for those of us with prep brain lol) Would absolutely do it again! Thank you guys!!!Alyssa OuslisApril 23, 2026
Competing at the Van Island Showdown was genuinely unforgettable. Influential Sports delivered an experience that went far beyond a stage and a scorecard β it felt intentional, elevated, and deeply human. From the moment I arrived, the team treated every athlete like a VIP. Not in a performative way, but in the way that comes from people who truly care about what theyβre building.
The staff were warm, present, and dialed in all day. You could feel their commitment in every detail β the organization, the energy backstage, the way they checked in with us, the way they made sure we felt supported, seen, and celebrated. They werenβt just running a show; they were creating a moment weβd carry with us long after stepping off stage.
Iβm grateful for the professionalism, the kindness, and the heart behind this event. Influential Sports set the bar high, and Iβm thankful to have been part of something crafted with this much intention and care.
Thank you! β€οΈπMeghan AnsellApril 22, 2026

Thank you so much for an incredible life experience. This has been a goal of mine for so long. Now at 55 years old it has finally come true. The whole event was amazing. The people were great! The venue was great! Everything was great. In the words of the greatest competitor of all, "I'll be back!".Gavin LonerganOctober 7, 2025

Hands down best show in Canada.Zorig BayarOctober 6, 2025
This is my 2nd time competing in the VanCity Showdown event. Great experience back stage and flow was fantastic. The only criticism is the tanning...first come, first served. Two hours waiting to get a tan is not acceptable. Every other show i have done had time slots. Very efficient. This was a gong show.David Getz (FitOver50man)October 6, 2025
Influential Sports always puts on the BEST shows! My very first competition was the Vancity Showdown 2017 and that show made me fall in love with competing. Since then Iβve done shows put on by other promoters and they were good but none of them are quite as good as the Vancity Showdown or the Vancouver Island Showdown. I always have SO much fun at these shows and Influential Sports really know how to take care of us athletes and put on a show thatβs exciting and always runs smoothly. I canβt wait to compete again in the Vancity Showdown next year!Heather LindOctober 6, 2025
The Vancity Showdown was my second show that I competed in and it left a lasting impression. The staff and event organisers where really well prepared and handled the athletes very professionally from informing us about the weekend time line and the day of the competition. Being that this can be a stressful sport, there was nothing stressful in regards to check in times and stages calls. Pump up bands were provided, coaches were in the back and able to help out their athletes. The only recommendation I would have is maybe providing some tables in the athletes holding area and tents for changing! Other than that the venue was perfect, energy was great and my team and I had a great time!Christianna ContosOctober 6, 2025
Such an amazing show, the staff were super helpful. The presenters kept things running like clockwork. Highlight of the summer and will certainly be returning next yearK AndersOctober 6, 2025

I competed in the 2025 vancity showdown. It was a wonderful experience. The show itself was well ran with awesome promoters who care about all the athletes. They had awesome vendors and the athletes swag bag was decked out as a nice bonus. The bombshell tanning team was top notch from their amazing customer service to their product. I had an amazing time and would chose this event in the future because of how well it was planned and ran!G BOctober 6, 2025
2025 Vancity Showdown Open & Naturals β September 27β28
What an incredible show weekend! πͺβ¨ The organization was so smooth and professional β everything flowed seamlessly from start to finish. The athlete perks and sponsors were top-notch, and it was clear how much effort went into making sure every competitor felt valued and supported.
I met some truly amazing people β both fellow athletes and the hardworking team that brought this event to life. The energy backstage and on stage was electric, and the sense of community was something special.
Huge thank you to everyone involved for putting together such a well-run, memorable event. π Canβt wait for next year! π₯πTired CanadianOctober 6, 2025
Influential Sports held the Natural Van City Showdown on September 28th. As a competitor, I was blown away with the quality level of this show. Everything was exceptionally well organized from backstage to the front. They made it a seamless process for all competitors, be it their first time stepping on stage, or for the veterans. The vendors they had at the show were excellent and engaging and I left with more than just amazing memories. Their use of technology integration, where every photo taken at the event of you is emailed to you so that you can upload it, is massive. They had areas set up with professional photography, which i haven't seen done at a show before.
All in all, I would highly recommend both the Van City Championships and Influential Sports to any athlete looking for a truly one of a kind show day experience. Amazing work!A.PalkofitOctober 6, 2025
