THE BEGINNING OF MID-ATLANTIC BODYBUILDING ASSOCIATION
Co-Founders Mike Turkin & Denise Hoerl
After being in the bodybuilding world for over a decade, Mike Turkin decided he no longer wanted to keep doing the same thing as other bodybuilding federations. He wanted to break off to build an organization that holds the values he believes in when it comes to this sport and the art that it is. Instead of solely focusing on the drug testing, Mike went in a new direction - focus on the creativity of the athlete. Athletes who truly believe in working on building their physiques naturally and showing off the hard work during their comparisons and individual routines on stage will find that Mid-Atlantic Bodybuilding is the right organization for them.
​
In October 2021, Mike started the journey of building Mid-Atlantic Bodybuilding. In early 2022, Denise Hoerl, joined him in building this community of like-minded athletes. Together, Mike and Denise are continuing to work on growing their organization. Currently, the organization is hosting shows in Maryland and Pennsylvania with Mike and Denise working to start promoting and hosting shows in the Virginia and Delaware areas.
OUR MISSION
The Mid-Atlantic Bodybuilding Association is building a community of like-minded, fitness-driven athletes of all levels by organizing all-inclusive bodybuilding shows and removing the barrier between amateur and professional athletes.
OUR VISION
At Mid-Atlantic Bodybuilding, we aspire to bring back the sport and classic look of authentic bodybuilding by promoting consistent training and healthy habits as the best ways to prepare for competition.
Thank you to our MD area host team! Our shows are possible because of you.
