TTBL: The True Gladiator Expo,

About the event

Hey guys!

I run a small independent bodybuilding organization in Brazil called TTBL. We’re just getting started, but our goal is to make amateur bodybuilding more accessible, professional and rewarding for athletes here.

The reality in Brazil is difficult. The amateur bodybuilding scene is heavily dominated by three major organizations/promoters. In many cases, athletes face extremely high costs while the quality and organization they receive in return can be very poor. Since our first event gained a lot of attention, we’ve also been facing a lot of pressure and obstacles from established players who clearly don’t want a new competitor growing in the market.

For our first event in July, I invested around US$30k of my own money to keep prices affordable and deliver something athletes normally don’t get here. The event was a huge success, but without major sponsors I only recovered about half of that.

I’ve been working on this around 15 hours a day, every day, for months, because I genuinely believe in what we’re trying to build.

Now, on December 19th, we want to go even bigger: a bodybuilding show together with a fitness & wellness expo with free admission.

And I’ll be completely transparent: I really need help to make this next step happen.

I’m looking for sponsors, investors, partnerships, networking, introductions or anyone willing to support the project.

Even one good connection could make a huge difference for us right now.

If this resonates with you, please reach out. I can share our numbers, plans and everything about TTBL.

Why should you sponsor?

Because TTBL is about more than producing another bodybuilding show — we’re trying to help change the sport in Brazil.

We want to make amateur bodybuilding more accessible, give athletes better conditions and opportunities, and bring the sport closer to the general public. Our next event will combine a bodybuilding championship with a free Fitness & Wellness Expo, creating a space where athletes, families, fans and brands can connect.

At the same time, sponsors receive real value through direct contact with a highly targeted audience, booths, activations, social media, livestream exposure, stage visibility and award moments.

Our first event already delivered 126 athlete registrations, 280 attendees, 21 brand partnerships, 3.3K online viewers and more than 730K monthly views.

So supporting TTBL means two things at once: helping us build something positive for athletes and the sport in Brazil, while positioning your brand in front of a growing and highly engaged fitness community.

We want our sponsors to be remembered not only for being visible, but for being part of the change with us.

Gabriel Andrade

I’m Gabriel Andrade, the founder of TTBL, an independent bodybuilding organization in Brazil created with a purpose that goes far beyond organizing events.

I truly believe that sport can open doors, change lives and create opportunities. That’s why TTBL has never been only about money for me.

I stepped away from my profession and sacrificed a lot to pursue this dream. I invested around US$30,000 of my own money into our first event, and for months I’ve been working around 15 hours a day to build this project from the ground up.

Today, I don’t even see it as just a dream anymore; I see it as my mission.

My goal is to build the largest amateur bodybuilding organization in Brazil, but I don’t want TTBL to be remembered simply for being big. I want it to be known as an organization that genuinely helps people, values athletes, makes the sport more accessible and creates opportunities for those who otherwise might never have them.

I know we’re still at the beginning, but I’m completely committed to making this vision a reality.

That’s the legacy I want TTBL to leave.
