Fit Body judges are looking for an athletic physique, but without the level of muscle mass of the bodybuilding division.

Athletes wear two-piece figure suit; thongs or T-back bottoms are not allowed. The suit may be embellished with rhinestones, sparkles, or sequins for added effect. High-heeled shoes are required. Jewelry and body piecing is allowed, but must not be offensive or obscure the physique.

Scoring is based on 2 rounds. See segments below for details.
