International Drug Free Athletics (IDFA) is a premier natural bodybuilding organization that I founded in 2005. As a true natural athlete myself, it was important for me to create a community where athletes could come together, compete on a level playing field, and showcase their dedication without compromising their health. The IDFA has always been about more than just bodybuilding; it’s about building a supportive and welcoming environment for athletes at all levels.
Whether you’re a first-time competitor or a seasoned pro, the IDFA has a place for you. We offer Classes for everyone, including those over 40 and 50 years old, with Divisions ranging from Bodybuilding, Men’s Classic Physique, and Men’s Physique, to Bikini, Fitness Model, Figure, Women’s Physique, and the Transformation Challenge.
Competing in the IDFA is about more than just stepping on stage; it’s about being part of a community that values health, fitness, and natural athleticism. I often refer to the IDFA as “the new marathon,” where athletes set it as a personal goal or even a bucket list achievement. Whatever your reason for competing, I invite you to pursue your goals with us and become part of this inspiring community.

Top 3 Reasons I’m Proud to Be a Part of the IDFA for 19 Years!
As I reflect on my 19-year journey with the IDFA, there’s one overwhelming emotion that stands out—pride. I’m incredibly proud of the athletes who make up this community, the values we stand for, and the positive impact we’ve had together. Being a part of the IDFA is more than just being involved in a sport; it’s about being part of something truly special. Here are the top 3 reasons why I’m so proud to have been part of the IDFA for nearly two decades:
1. You Are True Role Models
Over the years, I’ve been deeply inspired by the incredible impact IDFA athletes have on their communities and families. You are not just competitors; you are role models who embody integrity, dedication, and the pursuit of excellence. Whether on stage or off, you inspire others to reach for their own greatness. Knowing that the IDFA serves as a platform for such remarkable individuals is the thing I’m most proud of.
2. A Community Built on Integrity
The IDFA is more than a bodybuilding organization—it’s a community rooted in integrity, respect, and mutual support. Our athletes share a unique bond: the choice to compete and live drug-free. This decision reflects a commitment not only to personal health but also to the values we hold dear. It’s this shared sense of purpose and camaraderie that makes the IDFA not just a competition, but a family where everyone is valued and respected.

3. A Platform for Like-Minded Athletes
Creating a space where athletes who value natural bodybuilding can come together and compete on an even playing field has always been my mission. The IDFA stage isn’t just a place to showcase physical achievements; it’s a celebration of the dedication, discipline, and commitment that each of you brings to your journey. The pride I feel in seeing this community grow and thrive, with athletes who share these values, is beyond measure.
Thank you to every athlete who has been part of this journey with me. Your integrity, strength, and commitment to being role models continue to inspire me every day. Here’s to many more years of building, inspiring, and growing together!
