The 2024 Arnold Classic will be held in Columbus, Ohio, the competition’s home for 35 years. The action is a super-exhibition event for fitness enthusiasts, including powerlifting, weightlifting and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions, a trade show with hundreds of vendors, and the iconic Arnold Strongman & Strongwoman Classic. It takes place at the Arnold Sports Festival.
