How much do looks play into relationships with fitness couples?

SEX, LOVE, & BODYBUILDING – goes beyond the gym and the competition stage and into the bedroom. Hosts IFBB Pro bodybuilder Akim Williams and pro Bikini competitor Margarita Ventura discuss everything sex, love, and relationships within the bodybuilding world. No topic is off limits as Akim and Margarita often find themselves diving into taboo sexual topics that we all think but hardly say. New episodes air every Friday!

Sex, love, and relationships are complicated enough – but when you bring in a fitness and bodybuilding industry that is focused on looks, things can get even more complicated. It’s only natural for a fitness athlete or bodybuilder to be extra focused on not only his or her physique – but the physiques of others. They are trained to constantly judge and perfect muscle and physique. So how deep does this play into bodybuilding relationships? Is it important for a significant other to have an impeccable physique? Do they need to fit into a specific box of physical attributes that the other finds attractive?

This week on Sex, Love & bodybuilding – our hosts Akim Williams and Margarita Ventura dive into just how shallow fitness relationships are as a whole. Do they tend to be more superficial than relationships outside of the industry? How can physical looks make or break a bodybuilding relationship? Find out and learn about Akim and Margarita’s personal experiences in the full episode above!
