The Wellness Division is designed for women
who exhibit a physique characterised by a limited muscle separation, more athleticism, and
aesthetic appeal, featuring a fuller muscle belly compared to the Bikini Division.
Situated between bikini and physique categories, Wellness competitors are evaluated based on overall body tone.
Desired attributes include a firm appearance of body parts with reduced body fat, akin to the bikini category, avoiding
excessive muscularity or leanness, and ensuring freedom from muscle separation and striations.
Physiques excessively muscular will receive lower marks.
Judging criteria and competitor rounds
mirror those of the women’s bikini
division, involving quarter turns and an individual ‘I’ walk presentation.
Key considerations include vertical proportions (legs to upper body length) and horizontal proportions (hips and waist to
shoulder width). Women with slightly
larger hips, quads, and glutes may have an advantage in this division.
Attire: 2wo-piece bikinis are acceptable.

Accessories: such as bracelets necklaces rings are expected to be kept to a minimum. Other accessories such as hats,
canes etc. are not permitted.
