Welcome to MuscleSport Media’s on-site coverage of the 2022 Arnold Sports Festival (aka the Arnold Classic). We are flying into Columbus, Ohio and will be checking into one of the host hotels for a five-day stay. It has been quite some time since we have been here, with the previous two years being effected by the pandemic.
We are proud to announce that Old Skool Iron is our title sponsor of all our coverage.
It will be a relief to finally get back to the Arnold Expo, which is expected to be back to normal and at full capacity after not being held at all since 2019. We have been at booths and on foot there and both have their advantages. This year, we will be on the ground and walking the crowded aisles for videos, photos and as many interviews as we can handle.
Of course, we plan on meeting up with members of The mSm Family and get them on camera, as well as hanging out in the evening at the hotel bars for our Infamous Intox Instagram Live broadcasts. If you plan on attending, please let us know so we can make arrangements to meet up.
Our @musclesportmag Instagram account will be our go-to platform for up-to-the-minute updates and news all weekend long.
