Arnold Classic
Your competition starts here
Welcome to Columbus, Arnold Classic visitors! As you touch down for a weekend of world-class competition, fitness, and strength, we’ve got a few challenges waiting for you right here at the airport. Before you step into the arena, test your power, endurance, and determination—right at baggage claim.
Think you’ve got what it takes? Try our interactive strength challenges and see how you stack up against fellow travelers. And don’t forget to share your results on social using #FlyCMHStrong for a chance to be featured!
Are you stronger than your luggage?
Lightweight? Or “Beast Mode”?
- Pick up your suitcase with one hand—no switching!
- Time yourself to see how long you can hold it. Do you feel like a Featherweight, a Gains Mode Contender, or full Arnold-Level Heavy?
- Fill out the form below to see how your strength compares to other travelers! Top time gets a pair of CMH socks.
"Guess the weight" challenge
You’ve lifted plenty of bags before—but can you guess the weight of this one?
- Step up to the mystery luggage display and take your best guess.
- Fill out your answer in the form below.
The closest guesses will be entered into a drawing for a CMH swag bag!

Think you have core strength worthy of the Arnold Classic? Drop into a plank hold and see how long you can last!
- Get into a plank position.
- Record your time and submit your results below.
