Run, run, run for a cause, and keep ourselves healthy and fit
The Philippine Bodybuilders and Fitness Association in Kuwait, lovingly referred to as PBBFAK, is a dynamic organization comprised of dedicated Filipino bodybuilders and fitness trainers residing in the vibrant nation of Kuwait. This dynamic collective predominantly consists of individuals who have honed their skills and expertise in bodybuilding and fitness training, often serving as gym instructors, fitness trainers, or, in many cases, passionate enthusiasts of sculpting one’s physique. What sets this group apart is its unique blend of professional trainers and driven individuals who have proudly represented the Philippines in many local and international competitions, showcasing their excellence on a global stage.
Beyond their remarkable prowess in fitness and bodybuilding, PBBFAK members have demonstrated great versatility. They are often called upon to provide security services during events, concerts, and public gatherings in Kuwait, harnessing their well-trained, fit bodies to ensure the safety and order of such occasions.
Recognizing the transformative power of their knowledge and the profound impact they can have on individuals striving for self-improvement, the PBBFAK has made it their noble mission to disseminate their expertise and motivation as professional trainers. Their aim is not only to sculpt bodies but to uplift spirits, inspiring anyone wanting to learn and venture into the fitness industry. This extends their reach to offer a helping hand, not only to those aspiring to pursue fitness careers or those who derive immense pleasure from exercise but also to their fellow “Kababayans” in Kuwait. They strive to contribute to the community in their unique, meaningful way, wherever their strengths and talents can shine, making it a rewarding experience for those who trust the organization.
One of their cherished annual traditions is the “Run for Fun,” a delightful event held during the winter season that is open to both members and non-members, welcoming families and friends into their fitness-focused community. In this spirit, the organization recently conducted a five-kilometer run for fun, bringing their community together for a day of exercise, camaraderie, and celebration.
