Ronnie Coleman is back, but not for what you think. The 8x Mr. Olympia is coming to FIBO, and yeah, it’s about to get lightweight, baby.

Ronnie Coleman is all set to make an appearance at FIBO. It is a trade show where industry leaders, athletes, and brands display their latest developments in training, equipment, and wellness.

The show is held annually in Cologne, Germany, and is the world’s largest fitness and bodybuilding trade show, which draws thousands of visitors every year. This year it will be held between April 16-19, and the King will do a meet and greet session on behalf of Panatta, an Italian gym equipment manufacturer.

The legendary bodybuilder announced the event on his Instagram page, detailing the time and date of his appearance. He will be available on the following dates:

• April 16: 14:00 - 18:00
• April 17: 14:00 - 18:00
• April 18: 10:30 - 13:00 | 16:00 -18:00
• April 19: 10:30 - 13:00 | 15:00 -18:00

Thanks to his eight Mr. Olympia titles and his larger-than-life personality, Coleman remains one of the most profound figures in bodybuilding years after retiring from his competitive career. So, the meet and greet will give fans a chance to interact with one of the most iconic figures in bodybuilding history.

Besides Coleman, Panatta will be represented by other bodybuilders and coaches like 8x Mr. Olympia Lee Haney, 7x Mr. Olympia Phil Heath, legendary bodybuilding coach Hany Rambod, and wellness athlete Yarishna Ayala.

Panatta has created a reputation in the fitness industry for manufacturing premium gym machines and bodybuilding equipment. It frequently collaborates with top athletes and displays their latest innovations at major expos like FIBO.

Just last month, Panatta had a gym booth at the Arnold Sports Festival in Ohio and the UK. It is a Gold sponsor of the festival along with ProAm Nutrition and RedBull. In fact, the FIBO expo isn't the first collaboration between Coleman and Panatta either.

"We have finally arrived at the world’s famous Panatta city. I’m here to introduce Panatta sports to the United States, yeah buddy. Let’s go do this, y’all."

Describing the new gym, the CEO of Ronnie Coleman's Signature Series, Brandon Hearn, admitted that the equipment designed for the gym is unparalleled. Their focus on innovation and attention to detail is what will set them apart from the competition.
