The National Gym Association (NGA), founded in 1979, is an amateur bodybuilding organization whose goals are to promote bodybuilding events for drug-free athletes. Unlike other organizations, who use random drug testing, in these events all competitors are tested using an in-depth polygraph test which has been designed to test for the use of performance enhancing drugs within the past 5 years. The NGA is the amateur affiliate to the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF), and as such, runs pro-qualifiers for this organization.
NGA pro-qualifiers require that the participants are drug free for 7 years, and that the qualifying individuals pass a urine test, too.
In order to join the NGA, there is a $35 annual membership fee which covers a one year membership from date of registration. In addition to the NGA membership, the fee includes a one year subscription to Natural Bodybuilding magazine.
Effective in 1997 there will be 3 competitive weight classes in the mens' division and 2 in the womens' division. Prize money will be distributed in each class as well as to the overall winner.
In addition, these weight classes will be in effect for NGA pro-qualifiers. For all other NGA contests, the standard weight classes will remain in effect.
The following NGA events are scheduled for 1998.
