Fitness Fest is Coming-You Going?

Excited for 2018 Fitness Fest at the FitExpo Philadelphia

It finally springs ya’ll, no really it is, and I cannot wait.  I thrive in warmer weather although, I don’t complain about the cold. I kind of like every season for one reason or another and I am glad the seasons are short-lived throughout our year. So, I am ready for longer days, warmer weather and digging in the dirt with my garden.

I also am filling my calendar because the cold weather I tend to hibernate. in the spring and summer it’s gone time and I already have some fun things in mind this year. Last year, my spring was all about prepping and because of my ankle injury and also my pockets. I am not competing this summer as I planned.

Since I have been literally had been off my feet for 12 weeks, I am looking for fun events to get moving.  I cannot think of anything that fits my need to get out, try new things and hang with people who like to honor their temple than FitnessFest at the Fit Expo Philadelphia.

What is the Fitness Fest Expo?

Fitness Fest at the FitExpo is an expo that goes all over the country introducing fitness workouts, equipment and educating personal trainers, group fitness leaders, aquatic instructors, mind/body practitioners and healthcare professionals.  This jam-packed weekend allows professionals in the field to earn continuing education credits in a single weekend with some of the top presenters in the industry!

If you’re not a fitness professional, but you are a fitness enthusiasts you are more than welcomed to attend the conferences. There are going to be some incredible workshops you can shop at the expo and check out the latest in fitness equipment and trends. Also, come and participate in the FitnessFest Obstacle Course.  It’s going to be a really fun weekend, April 27-28 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

Hourly there is something fun, and I can’t wait to check out some of my favorite workouts! Like B.R.Y.C.K.E.D is a can’t miss! I am (kind of) a Tru Adams groupie and wherever I see B.R.Y.C.K.E.D offered I’m there!

What will you get out of Fitness Fest this year?

It’s also an excellent opportunity to meet another professional in your field or similar.  You also know at expo’s there are lots of vendors. When it comes to fitness sometimes, you need to touch and feel to see if it’s worth it.  I know that I would never have made some of my fitness purchase like footwear or clothes.  I am eager to see what some vendors like 360 degrees have in footwear or Strong Board balance among so many other types of equipment and workouts. You know the things you see on Social media and want to see in real life first? Expo’s are great for that too.

How can you join me?

This year is a great lineup you can see the details on Fitness Fest Site. I already told you about my girl Tru who will be there but did you see that also  I would love for you to join me as I explore the Pennsylvania Convention Center April 28-29th and get my sweat, shop, and fun on at FitnessFest Expo Philadelphia. If you don’t get B.R.Y.C.K.E.D. up with me, then I will probably see you by the Bodybuilding.com table which is one of the sponsors of the event. Wherever it may be, I hope to see you there on April 28th or 29th.

For all of my followers, FitnessFest at The FitExpo Philadelphia has given me a discount code for $30 off your tick just enter “FAITHFUELED” in the promo code to receive your discount. Let me know your coming so we can meetup!  Can’t wait I hope to see you there!

Getting Down at the Barre: Sweat Pink NJ First Event

 

Launch of Sweat Pink New Jersey

We were laughing-well kind of; our thighs were quivering, and I think I found a new muscle in my butt that now hates me but it was such a fun time! Last night, Sweat Pink NJ was hosted at Revolution 360 for our Sweat Pink Chapter Launch.

Sweat Pink

Sweat Pink is a community of active women (and men!) globally who love to sweat and socialize! It is a fitness group will include outdoor adventures, meetups, and monthly workouts. We just are a bunch of health enthusiast who wants to support other health enthusiasts. It really is that simple. People always ask me what it is? Yep, no catch! There are so people who just want to motivate and inspire other people. I am one of them, and if you are too then you should join us and become a Sweat Pink Ambassador!

Sweat Pink Ambassador?

I’ve been a Swear Pink Ambassador for three years. After my second Blogfest high I wanted to be more involved with the active women that I have over the last three years known through Social Media and blogfest.

(Have you heard about Blogfest? If you are a health enthusiast or fitness influencer, I URGE you to come, and we can meet in real life!)

These group of women are so supportive, inspiring and encouraging and just encouraging to be in a group of amazing women’s from all sorts of backgrounds, states and fitness passions.

We are stronger together, and I have never gotten such a sense of community like Sweat Pink.  When the email blast came out they were looking for Chapter Leaders I jumped up and raised my hand.

New Jersey has so many great opportunities to get active and coordinating events to have women from different backgrounds come together, and Sweat seemed like a great idea for 2018.

I set my goals, resolutions or whatever at the beginning of the year and the Top 3 are to get women together to help each other. I have some fantastic plans, and God is laying out some exciting things in the near and distant future in this area.

When the ladies at Sweat Pink started to help me set up the group, I was a lot anxious, but if all our events are like the Launch, I have no worries.

Revolution 360

First I had to find an equally empowering studio to have our first event! Revolution 360 is a Boutique gym in Moorestown, NJ my hometown.  My little town had grown a lot from when I was a kid. Part of that growth is gyms like Revolution 360 which is just walking distance from my old childhood home.

Nilsa is the owner and teaches lots of challenging sweat dripping classes. What I LOVE about Revolution is we don’t play any baby weights there; it is an all but one guy staff and of certified amazing instructors.  We all have our own weight loss fitness journey, and we do not play.

Resolution 360 offers a variety of classes: Strength and Conditioning, Booty Barre, Zumba, Butts and Guts, Cardio Circuit (yours truly teaches), Bootcamp, Tabata and always adding great and new classes that get members results.

Showing women how to properly train with heavy weight and getting rid of all gym intimidation;  While Nilsa starts to kick your butt once she turns on that mic.  This woman is a truly and genuinely loves to serve people.  She has a servants heart and will go out of her way for anyone that she meets. She is an amazing instructor and loved by everyone.

Booty Barre at Revolution 360

Nilsa did not disappoint in the least.  There were moments in the class I had to close my eyes and pray and then others where we felt super sexy doing some hip shaking and then again tears of pain-in a right way and oh and we were cracking up. (An extra ab workout)

The group of women who came was so fun, outgoing and although some ran, spin, or only took group classes.  We were got together and had a good time.

Now the event was Barre Now Wine Later, but there was no wine. It was Bring Your Own, and nobody drank. So, we sipped on water and ate some snacks and reflected on the last 45 minutes of getting our butts kicked.

These Ladies came out for a good workout, to hang out with other active women and have a good time which is what I hope for our events. I met some new Ladies who rather be moving on a Saturday night then sitting on the couch- my kind of women and will be adding to our Sweat Pink NJ family.

Sweat Pink New Jersey 2018

We have so much planned for this chapter and are working on some fun events, team races, and nutrition workshops.  I am eager to meet more women and celebrate each other this year.  If you are an active women whatever that activity may be and you want to get busy, you should join us at our next event until then you can find us on facebook!

Are you looking for a group to just chill or get sweaty with active women?
