The contestants had their official gym orientation at The First Class Fitness Centre. Upon entrance to the gym, one could hear the pulsating music for Crop Over 2007 blasting as aerobic sessions were going on and as gym members were working out on the machines. Even though Matthew and Rawlston arrived late and Caleb was in Trinidad the contestants were all excited about increasing their levels of fitness.

Managing Directors Mrs. Osolene Skinner and Mr. Vincent Skinner articulated how pleased they were to support ChaseLint Productions for the past four years by sponsoring the Mr. & Miss Barbados World pageant. They reiterated how important having  a healthy lifestyle is to the improving how your body functions. Many of the contestants had numerous questions about their levels of fitness and how they could mentally and physically get ready for the fitness pre-judging. Ryan wanted to know if he could only attend the gym for two days and he was told NO.

The minimum amount of days contestants are allowed to attend the gym are four days in order to guarantee their pre-judging points. They are to take full advantage of this opportunity while adhering to the gym rules. After Mrs. Skinner recommended that the contestants work on flexibility by attending Vincent's Stretch Class and Mertyl's Cardio class it was time for them to be measured and weighed. Ayana weighs 103 pounds ( ohhhhhhhhhhhh I remember those days!!!) and Sabrina weighed in at 146 pounds after losing 8 pounds since entering the pageant! Congratulations to her!!!!

The ladies need some serious work to tighten their abdominals, buttocks and leg areas so that they can look toned in swimwear. Owen McCollin will be the personal trainer for the females and he will be assisted by Walter. The men disappeared for a run and came back as sweaty as ever. The comments from Mr. Skinner was that the men were relatively fit already so they just needed to tighten up in specific areas. Emerald, Matthew and Rawlston need to work out vigorously to pack on some muscle. After they were measured and weighed the contestants were given an official tour of the gym and Walter took them through some exercises.

When they were finished the ladies raced off to the sauna since Mrs. Skinner told them that  it improved their skin tone by opening the pores. They just could not wait!!! As usual First Class Fitness Centre provides the best service to its members with the latest technology and gym equipment.
