SPRAY TAN LEICESTER

At A1 Classic, it’s not just about what happens on stage, it’s about how athletes feel throughout the whole experience.

Nicola and Kenny, the faces behind A1 Classic, put so much attention into the organisation, timing and, most importantly, making sure both athletes and staff are looked after.

Backstage, everything is designed to make competition day as comfortable and stress-free as possible. You’ll find a dedicated tanning area, pump-up area, glaze area, plenty of chairs and floor space where athletes can sit, stretch out and rest between classes.
And yes… there are even tables with food and essentials - not only for the staff, but for the athletes too. 🍚🥜🍰

But what makes A1 Classic really special is the atmosphere. It feels friendly, supportive and welcoming. Athletes might be competing against each other on stage, but backstage they’re talking, helping each other, sharing experiences and learning from one another.

You come to compete, but you also grow together, learn together and become part of the community.

That’s what an independent bodybuilding show should feel like.

At A1 Classic Independent Bodybuilding Show, our job doesn’t stop once your competition tan is applied. 💪🏽

The tanning team is there throughout the show to make sure every athlete steps on stage with the best possible tan.

We take care of your:
✨ Competition tan
✨ Glaze
✨ Last-minute touch-ups
✨ Any areas that need fixing between stage appearances

And when you come off stage hot and sweaty after posing under those lights? We’ve got you.
We help athletes dry off using towels and rollers, remove excess sweat and make any necessary touch-ups before it’s time to step back on stage.

Because competition tanning isn’t just about applying the colour it’s about maintaining it throughout the entire show so you can focus on one thing: your performance.

You bring the physique.
We’ll take care of the tan.

It’s a show day 🤙🤙🤙

I met Marcin 2 years ago, it was his very first bodybuilding show and his first competition tan with me.

2 years later, we met again. Same place. Same tanning tent. But with two more years of experience behind him. 🤌🏼

Marcin is an absolute G.O.A.T.!

I still remember when we first met and he told me he didn’t have a coach. He was doing EVERYTHING by himself: learning, researching, experimenting, making mistakes, fixing them and trying again.

And 2 years later? He’s still doing it all by himself.
No coach. Just self-learning, trial and error, discipline and consistency.

And honestly, that makes what he has achieved even more impressive. Building your physique, preparing for a show and learning your own body without someone telling you exactly what to do takes a huge amount of dedication.

From his first show 2 years ago to seeing him step on stage again, what a transformation and what an achievement. 👏🔥
Keep going, Marcin. 💪

I asked the athletes one simple question: “What do you like most about the A1 Classic?”

And EVERY. SINGLE. ATHLETE. gave me the same answer:
THE ATMOSPHERE. ❤️‍🔥
That says everything.

The A1 Classic isn’t just an independent bodybuilding show. It’s a place where athletes support each other, chat backstage, make new friends and genuinely enjoy being part of the day.

There’s competition on stage, but backstage? It’s all about support, respect, laughs and community. 🤝💪

And when every athlete gives you the same answer… you know there’s something special about this show.
A1 Classic atmosphere just hits different. 🔥

What makes the A1 Classic different? 🏆
It’s not just the stage, the physiques or the competition: it’s the whole experience created for the athletes.

The venue is HUGE, with a spacious backstage area where athletes can actually sit down, relax, chat and get to know each other. And that’s one of the best things about this show - backstage doesn’t feel stressful or chaotic. It feels like a community. 🤝

You can really see how much care goes into looking after the athletes. Everyone has access to tables stocked with water and food: rice cakes, peanut butter, Nutella, jam crisps and, of course… the famous HUGE A1 Classic cake! 🎂

There are plenty of friendly staff around, all doing their best to keep everything running as smoothly as possible and make sure the athletes are looked after throughout the day.

But what really sets A1 Classic apart is the atmosphere. ❤️

Everyone is chatting, supporting each other, making new connections and even new friendships. Yes, it’s a bodybuilding competition, but there’s such a friendly, welcoming and supportive vibe behind the scenes.

That’s what an independent bodybuilding show should feel like.

Competition on stage. Community backstage. 🏆🤝
