Body building is one of the popular types of recreational physical activities worldwide. However, body builders often choose a one-way training program to induce hypertrophy while disregarding cardiovascular exercises that are important for increasing performance and maintaining a healthy life. This study aimed to assess the physical fitness levels of recreational body builders in accordance with the guidelines of the American College of Sports and Medicine (ACSM). Twenty-two male athletes (aged 19–42 years) participated in this study (height: 176.9 ± 5.78 cm, weight: 80.81±6.44 kg, body building experience: 3 years). The maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) was measured using the Queen’s College step test and flexibility was assessed with the stand and reach test. The back and leg strengths of the participants were determined using an isometric dynamometer. Skinfolds were measured with a calipers and the Durnin and Womersley formula was used to measure the body fat percentage. Demographic features and data pertaining to the training schedules were obtained from a data collection form which was prepared by the researchers. The participants showed the following mean scores for the parameters assessed: body mass index (BMI): 25.82 ± 1.7 kg/m2; VOmax: 51.07 ± 8.02 ml/kg/min; stand and reach test score: 11.48 ± 6.12 cm; leg strength: 123.59 ± 29.49 kg; back strength: 124.09 ± 26.40 kg; right hand grip strength: 53.83 ± 7.82 kg; and body fat percentage: 13.32 % ± 2.80 %. According to the ACSM norms, the participants had normal BMI, VO2max, and body fat percentage, but low flexibility and strength. It is therefore recommended that recreational bodybuilders add flexibility and maximal strength training to their routine training schedule
