Festival Fit: The Worked Out Bods of Tomorrowland

To be Festival Fit it isn’t enough to just go to the gym once a week. You want a hot body? You better work bitch. That’s what all (well, most) of Tomorrowland’s hard, sculpted rave bodies did to get their physiques ready for your visual consumption.

During the two weekends that the tiny village of Boom, Belgium hosted the world’s raging-est ravers at the annual festival, there were more bare torsos than necessary. Even at an event that boasts more national flags than its rivals, it’s clear that like the rave spirit, fitness goes beyond borders. Those who prepared themselves to be swole, cut or just plain sexy were rewarded by inclusion here and now so shall your eyes be rewarded too as we present the best muscles outside Brussels with this installment of Festival Fit: Tomorrowland.
