We’ve been in the industry for years and this is the first time that an organization like this has made us feel welcomed and appreciated. They were very well organized and the communication from Bernadette was seamless and quick! We are extremely happy with our experience and can’t wait to keep working together in the future.Krammed KookiesMay 16, 2025

Had a fantastic experience participating in the 2024 Vancity showdown. The promoters really do an amazing job at putting the athletes first while simultaneously putting on a great show for all the fans and family & friends that come out.
The show ran smoothly and on time, everyone backstage was extremely helpful and friendly to deal with.
It should also be mentioned that this show has really earned its reputation as one of if not the most competitive regional show in BC, if not all of Canada. Year after year the level of competition that shows up to compete is top notch.
Great show, great venue, great promoters and team!Michael NanceOctober 19, 2024
I would like to thank the organizer of van city showdown , as well as the hard work of all the staff, have held this fantastic event. It was so helpful to make me felt comfortable and I got 4 classes 1st in my first show. Thank you so much for the support. It will be an unforgettable experience in my life. See you next time！！！Liwei HaoOctober 19, 2024
The event of a LIFETIME! VanCity Showdown was such an incredible experience, the venue (Delta Hotels + Grand Villa Casino) was gorgeous and event was run so smoothly!
They also had amazing photobooths / photographer set-up all weekend for free photos (THIS IS A MUST that every event should have!) and overall everyone was friendly and inviting for all us athletes who competed!
Thank you for being my first Bikini Bodybuilding Event / experience of a freakinnnn lifetime!! I cannot recommend enough how incredible VCS event was! If I could give more stars, I certainly would!Ali FayeOctober 7, 2024
A massive thank you to the wonderful team over at Influential Sports Inc.
Had an absolutely amazing first time experience competing at the WCI VanCityShowdown this year.
With being a first timer + at the show solo, the nerves and anxiety were inevitably running high….but this was quickly put to rest by all the amazing staff at the event. I cannot tell you how many wonderful people, shared kind words of encouragement, checked in to see how I was doing and even offered to help me with anything I needed.
I cannot recommend this show enough, for a first timer or a seasoned competitive athlete.Kevin ProutOctober 7, 2024
This was my first time competing in the Vancity showdown at Delta Hotels Burnaby. I had a wonderful time, the vendors to volunteers, tanning staff were excellent at helping me with any questions I had and the muscleware app athletes had to download for notifications about the event was great and alleviated alot of stress as we always knew who was up next and where we needed to be. The more seasoned athletes were so friendly and helpful and the lady I competed against was very humble and friendly.
This was a great experience for me and to any new athlete, go for it, do it, set your goals and smash them you will not regret it and don't be nervous because everyone is there to support you and make your experience a good one, talk to people, make friends and have fun!
If you made it to this level you already win, the training is the real competition and to experience this level of discipline to get to this point, will only help you in all areas of your life. #Bodybuilding is life!Lana UngerOctober 7, 2024
Was my first show and it was very organized and enjoyable.Josh WeaverOctober 7, 2024
A great show! Always an amazing experience 🚀Sahil SundriOctober 7, 2024
competing in 5 different shows, I must say, the experience with this show was none less than prestige and very well conducted! I can't wait to do it again!! definitely gave me the post show blues! you guys definitely know how to put on a show! keep up the amazing work❤️❤️Joytika KumarOctober 6, 2024
Simply the best. As someone who is heavily involved in the fitness industry especially in bodybuilding shows - I can safely say that they really cater to the athletes. Before competing at the Vancity Showdown 2024, I was a volunteer at the Vancity Showdown 2023 and Van Isle 2024 - first thing I noticed was how they emphasize the importance of athlete experience. This alone captured my attention and made me decide without any hesitation that I wanted to do my next bodybuilding show with them. Now that I was able to experience being on the other side as an athlete/competitor, it was the BEST bodybuilding show I have done. From the production, customer service and the overall experience I would leave a rating of 10/10.
If you’re someone looking to have the best experience as a new competitor or seasoned competitor - look no further and register to any shows they promote. Highly recommend!
To everyone behind the scene - Thank You!Aljon CabanligOctober 6, 2024

My experience was exceptionally memorable. The team's kindness, helpfulness, and hospitality were outstanding. I received outstanding support and treatment. I strongly recommend Van City Showdown to anyone participating in a competition for the first time. Thank you, Van City Showdown, for a truly impressive show! Plus all my hardware too!! 🥇🥇🥇🥈🙏🏼❤️Charlene MuskegoOctober 6, 2024
Hands down, the BEST experience and most well put together show I have ever attended. I was extremely lucky to be able to compete in it as well for my first time. From the promoters, event crew and tan/hair/makeup staff, to the audience, athletes, judges and overall experience, It was nothing short of extraordinary. The copious amount of efforts put in to create such a memorable experience for us all and ensure all the athletes are feeling supported throughout their entire show day, was top tier. This team went above and beyond to ensure an extravagant event was held and wouldn’t be forgotten- they surpassed any set expectations. This was one of the best weekends of my life and I couldn’t have picked a better venue, host and show to compete in for my first. Thank you to all involved with making this such a special day for all of us❤️🔥jordanne girardOctober 5, 2024
I was a first time competitor at the Vancity Showdown this year and competed on both days (the open and natural show). I couldn’t believe how well they ran this show, both days went so smooth. The check in process was fun and everything was extremely organized. I highly recommend registering for this show if you were thinking about it. It’s a MUST!Arwa Al JanabiOctober 4, 2024
The vancity showdown is a great show for beginners and intermediate bodybuilders, not only is the event smooth with registration, check ins, and there tanning. It’s runs very well organized, as the overall winner in classic physique in 2024, if you plan on competing in the lower mainland vancity showdown is the show for you ! I had lots of fun and lots of smiles during the weekend. Highly recommend and can’t wait for the next show !!Zachery MayOctober 4, 2024

The show ran in an organized manner and it was really cool to be able to watch the live stream backstage. Beautiful venue, stage, and expo area!Elizabeth FraserApril 27, 2024
I have competed last weekend at the Van Island Showdown for my Pro debut and glad the guys did not disapoint. From the venue only 2 minutes away from the host hotel to the minutious running of the entire weekend, the team's organisation was simply amazing. Promoters and volunteers were all welcoming and super accomodating - always trying to help; which made it an awesome experience. We are lucky to have such a show in our backyard, so I will make sure to always compete or attend in the future.
Keep doing a great job guys!Pierrette EbamiApril 24, 2024
