The group rate is $180.00 per night and please mention the Idaho Muscle Classic when booking to get the group rate.

Two complimentary breakfast buffets per room during your stay, with omelets to order. The hotel features a heated outdoor pool, new indoor pool and splash zone for kids and is located on the Boise River, with live music and food at the Sand Bar each night. This is a great hotel to bring the whole family!

Sheets and Towels for those of you staying in any hotel. It is a good idea for you to bring your own sheets and a couple of cheap towels with you to use because if your tanning dye gets on the hotel sheets and towels you will be charged for them. The “Cocoon Cotton Travel Sheet” (you can Google it) is excellent because it’s light weight and it’s only $30.00 and it covers your whole body like a sleeping bag. We’ve been told by competitors that it is the best!

Please be cognizant of the fact that any damage done to your hotel rooms through the use of tanning products or by any other means is the responsibility of the person on the room reservation.

When you register for the 2024 NPC Wheelchair Nationals, we send you a glow in the dark, silicone accountability wristband that says 2024 NPC Wheelchair Nationals Competitor  on it. It is incentive to keep you on track for the show with your preparations. Every time you open the fridge to cheat or decide to skip a workout, you will see your wristband to remind you of your goal. It will also help you recognize other athletes getting ready for the 2024 NPC Wheelchair Nationals.

Submit your music file to the link provided in your registration confirmation email you received when you entered the show!

Men’s and Women’s Bodybuilding, Classic Men’s Physique, Women’s Physique and Fitness competitors must submit their music, prior to the competition. You can do that at Muscleware.com when you enter the show and then use the link provided in your registration confirmation e-mail. Bodybuilders, Classic Men’s Physique, and Women’s Physique competitors have a maximum length of sixty (60) seconds. Fitness competitors have a maximum time limit of two (2) minutes. Please ensure that your music is edited to your appropriate class.

IF YOUR MUSIC HAS NOT BEEN SUBMITTED WHEN YOU ENTER, YOU MAY SUBMIT IT VIA A THUMBDRIVE OR WE CAN FIND IT ONLINE DURING COMPETITOR REGISTRATION/CHECK IN. THERE WILL BE A $25.00 CHARGE (CASH OR VENMO ONLY) FOR MUSIC SUBMITTED AT CHECK-IN. IF YOUR MUSIC IS NOT EDITED TO THE SPECIFIC TIME LIMIT OR INCLUDES PROFANITY, THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ADDITIONAL $25.00 CHARGE (CASH OR VENMO ONLY) TO EDIT YOUR SONG TO THE APPROPRIATE GUIDELINES. DJ RACHEL IS AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AND IT TAKES HER ADDITIONAL TIME AND SHE MUST BE COMPENSATED. IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE A SONG FROM YOU BY THE END OF REGISTRATION/CHECK-IN, YOU WILL POSE TO HOUSE MUSIC OF OUR CHOICE. NO EXCEPTIONS!

Once we receive your edited song, DJ Rachel will check for sound quality, normalize it if needed, and place it in your appropriate class. No more worrying if you’ve forgotten your music or if your music will play on the music system!

Deadline for Music is 05/29/24. For questions concerning your music, please contact DJ Rachel at [email protected]

NPC regulations state that absolutely no profanity is allowed, and music with profanity will not be played. It is a family show. Craig Productions reserves the right to refuse music not meeting these standards and will substitute house music. Figure, Bikini, Wellness and Men’s Physique competitors pose to house music only.

MUSIC EDITING SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE: Do you want a song that really stands out for your posing routine? Are you musically-challenged when it comes to editing? Do you have a creative music edit idea for your song? If you’re looking for a professional to do a simple fade-in/fade-out, edit your song in multiple places (aka cut-n-paste), or even mix 2-3 songs together, we recommend Rachel Sedwick, IFBB Figure Pro and Craig Productions’ music manager.

Rachel can take the stress out of combining songs for your unique posing routine, and she’s with you every step of the way—from editing, to check in, and all the way through show day when she plays your music as you walk on stage.

Email Rachel for her services and affordable rates at: [email protected]

At Craig Productions we are passionate about our sport and our vision has always been for every competitor to have the best competition experience possible and walk away excited for the next show. We like to maintain a positive environment for everyone.

Trainers Bands: Trainers can purchase a trainer’s band for $100.00 cash only, at the Competitor Check in Friday May 31st 5:30 – 6:30 PM, at the Expo Idaho. Your trainer band will admit your trainer into the venue and the backstage area for both Sessions. It serves as an “all access pass” in and out of the venue. It is general admission to the show and backstage. It does not guarantee a certain seat. No person will be permitted back stage without a Trainer’s Pass and no pass shall be issued to any person who does not present a valid NPC card. When picking up your Trainer’s Pass, you will be required to provide proof of your current NPC membership and sign an NPC waiver per NPC policy.

Trainer Band RULES
· You must wear a wristband at all times. Any tampering with the bands in any way will cause you to lose your band and you will have to purchase another.
· Listen to any and all instructions by our staff. If you get in the way of a staff member and they ask you to move, you must move. They run a tight ship and need access to do their job. We always default to our staff.
· Be polite and considerate to all.
· Have fun!

Competitors and Trainer’s may only get ready in the designated areas. We have a complete pump-up area with a specific area for oiling up. We also have a specific backstage area. Anyone pumping up, oiling up, spray-tanning, doing make up, etc. in the main bathrooms used by the public or anywhere else in the venue will be immediately disqualified – The auditorium is adamant about no contest prep in the public bathrooms or out in the audience area. Venue security monitors them and will escort you out of the venue! Your trainer must prep you off site if they do not purchase a trainer’s prep band.

NO PAM allowed!! Pam is DANGEROUS for all the women in high heels. Your competitor will be disqualified if you are using Pam or any other aerosol cooking spray like it.
