Behind the Stream: NPC NY Pro at the Teaneck Marriott, 2022–2023
There’s a unique rhythm to live streaming a bodybuilding competition.
You’re tracking athletes who’ve trained for months, often years. You’re working around dynamic lighting, fast transitions, and high-stakes pacing. And you only get one shot to capture it all without interruption or delay.
That’s exactly what we faced at the NPC NY Pro, hosted at the Teaneck Marriott at Glenpointe—an iconic venue that’s been home to many elite competitions on the NPC schedule.
Since 2022, C King Media has proudly partnered with Fit X Imagery to deliver professional live stream coverage of this standout event.
The Mission: Showcase Every Athlete, Real-Time
In fitness and bodybuilding, visibility matters. Competitors train for months with the goal of performing in front of judges, sponsors, and supporters.
Live streaming allows:
Friends and family to cheer from afar
Coaches to analyze in real time
Athletes to share their moment with a wider audience
New viewers to connect with the sport—no matter where they are
Our job was to make sure no one missed a pose, a lineup, or a name.
The Setup: Multi-Camera Production in a Fast-Paced Venue
At the Teaneck Marriott, we worked within the venue’s ballroom layout to build a discreet but powerful setup, including:
Multiple camera angles (wide + stage tight)
Audio feeds for clear emcee announcements and music
Live switching to track athlete transitions and callouts
Reliable internet backup to handle unpredictable hotel Wi-Fi
We integrated seamlessly into the Fit X Imagery production workflow, ensuring that athlete photos, video clips, and the full broadcast feed aligned perfectly across platforms.
The Challenge: Livestreaming with No Room for Mistakes
Unlike studio work or weddings, there are no retakes in live fitness events.
When an athlete walks out for their 60 seconds, everything has to work:
The camera angle
The audio sync
The stream quality
The name overlays
That level of pressure is why national fitness brands trust professionals. At C King Media, we plan, test, and build fail-safe systems—so athletes can focus on their moment, not our tech.
What Made It Special: The Energy, the Athletes, the Connection
We’ve live streamed a wide range of events—from funerals in Virginia to conferences in DC—but there’s something electric about covering a national fitness competition.
What stood out at NPC NY Pro:
The energy of the competitors backstage
The emotion in the crowd when a finalist was announced
The way families tuned in from around the country and messaged afterward with thanks
Live streaming didn’t just make the event watchable—it made it shareable.
Final Thought
Streaming a high-caliber event like the NPC NY Pro isn’t about being flashy. It’s about being precise, respectful, and reliable—so that the competitors’ work is honored, and the audience never misses a beat.
Whether it’s a national fitness event in New Jersey or a conference in Northern Virginia, C King Media brings the same level of detail and dedication to every stream.
And we’ll be back at the Teaneck Marriott—cameras ready.
