The Ultimate Fitness Challenge is a unique sport and fitness competition for females.

Competition sequence
The Ultimate Fitness Challenge consists of the audition e.g. pre-selection round, selection/training round, semi-final and final contest. The semi-final and final contest are combined in the third and closing stage of the competition sequence. Both semi-final and final will take place at the same exotic destination.

Semi-final (at an exotic destination)
During the semi-final individual outdoor-disciplines or a combination of outdoor-disciplines will be used for a definite selection of contestants for the final contest. The disciplines of the semi-final contest will be announced at the contest location - exotic destination, like The Netherlands Antilles. Selection and qualification for the final contest will be based upon the overall standings of the contestants.

Final contest (at an exotic destination)
The 20-25 best all round contestants will compete in the final, at the exotic location. The final contest, includes disciplines similar to those in the semi-final as well as one or more surprise disciplines. On top off the surprise disciplines, several catwalk performances like a fashion show / beauty contest will be added. A jury's panel will judge the catwalk performances of the contestants. The judging and the judging criteria are specified in a separate regulation document. The final contest disciplines and the fashion show / beauty contest rules will be announced at least one month preceding the departure to the final contest location. The information will be included in the contest program.

Winners of the Ultimate Fitness Challenge will be determined based on the definite final results. The first through the fifth place of The Ultimate Fitness Challenge are those contestants with the best five overall rankings for all the disciplines. And ofcourse the #1 is crowned Miss Ultimate Fitness Challenge of the Year.
