It’s that time again – FIBO (the world’s leading trade show for fitness, wellness & health) is back! But this time, it’s taking place in Cologne instead of Essen. The venue in Essen had become too small, and even last year, the halls were bursting at the seams with exhibitors and visitors. So it was only a matter of time before FIBO had to move to another city. Hello Cologne – or should we say… Hello international flair!

Over the course of four days, national and international exhibitors will showcase all the latest trends in the world of sports. At the same time, it becomes the epicenter of big names from the fitness and bodybuilding scene – such as Larissa Reis, Ronnie Coleman, and many newcomers whose awareness of their bodies rivals that of the seasoned pros, boasting physiques that will make you green with envy.

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing – in fact, it might just give you the motivation boost you need to push yourself in your own fitness journey. Nothing is impossible. The only serious opponent is that inner slacker – the one who resists discipline and consistency.

On April 11th, 2013, the first day of the trade fair, I personally visited FIBO in Cologne, accompanied by the charming Gülcin Cin – also known as Gülli. You can watch our video report to see what we experienced there. Enjoy!

After visiting the trade fair, I was so fired up by seeing all the stars in the FIBO Power Hall that on the way back, my next mr.uniQue project popped into my head. Starting from May 5th, 2013 – my birthday *grin – I’m giving myself a six-month window, until November 5th, 2013, to really step up my fitness game and build an athletic body. Now that’s what I call a goal. But hey, we all need new goals to keep moving forward.

I welcome anyone who knows their stuff when it comes to nutrition or training and wants to support me in reaching this goal. Just drop me a line at: mr_unique@gmx.de. More details will follow in early May. First, I need to come up with a name for the project and set up a new page and all that… *loooool I know I’m a bit crazy – but now I really want to see what I’m capable of… *smile
