The 2024 edition of the New York Pro will take place on Saturday, May 18, 2024, in Teaneck, NJ. This show, promoted by Steve Weinberger, is considered one of the more prestigious non-Olympia shows on the circuit. It will feature nine of the IFBB Pro League’s 11 divisions — the only two omitted are Fitness and Men’s Wheelchair.
If they had not qualified already before this show, the winners of the featured divisions will earn qualifications to compete in the 2024 Olympia Weekend at Resorts World in Las Vegas, NV, on the weekend of Oct. 10-13, 2024.

Men’s Open Athletes to Watch
Below are the Men’s Open competitors likely to contend for the podium.
Nick Walker
Nick Walker was the 2021 Men’s Open New York Pro champion—his first pro win. However, he was out of the 2023 Olympia due to a hamstring injury. As a result, Walker is not qualified for the 2024 edition going into this contest.
The 2024 New York Pro is in Walker’s home state, and he is confident he will leave with his second New York Pro championship ring. If he does, he would join Kai Greene, Mamdouh “Big Ramy” Elssbiay, and Juan Morel as the fourth two-time winner of this contest. Walker is one of two past champions in the lineup.
Tonio Burton
Tonio Burton is the other past winner of this show as the defending champion, having won in 2023. Burton has competed once already in 2024, placing second to Rafael Brandao at the 2024 Arnold South America contest.
Like Walker, Burton also needs this win to qualify for the 2024 Olympia. Burton placed eighth at the 2023 Mr. Olympia contest, and he has shown that he can hold his own against the best in the sport. He and Walker will be a great matchup to watch.
Martin Fitzwater
Martin Fitzwater won the 2024 Detroit Pro, which qualified him for the 2024 Olympia. Thus, if he wins in Teaneck, no qualification will be awarded.
Fitzwater joined Walker and other pros in a guest posing session at the 2024 Pittsburgh Pro one week before this contest. Fans were impressed with his shape and conditioning. Fitzwater’s shape versus Walker’s and Burton’s size will make an interesting matchup for the judges and fans.
How to Watch
Fans who cannot attend the show can purchase the pay-per-view livestream on their website for $34.95. The stream will feature prejudging and finals for all nine divisions. BarBend will also cover the show’s results.
