The International Fitness Showcase

Last weekend I attend the International Fitness Showcase with some of my fitness buddies. The event is hosted at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool and is one of the biggest events on the global fitness calendar. Three days packed with world class presenters, showcasing all the latest and greatest trends in dance, aerobics, step, combat, conditioning, lectures, workshops and mind and body sessions in some of the most beautiful rooms I've ever seen used in a fitness arena.

The evening entertainment was almost as spectacular as the daytime activities with the Gala Dinner and Fitness awards ceremony 'Vegas Style' followed by a Club night into the early hours.

My highlight of the weekend was taking up the challenge of learning Aerial Hoop. The teachers were very patient and they lead safe, effective and fun classes. By the end of the three days I was covered in blisters and bruises but somehow I'd managed to put together a number of poses into a flowing sequence which was incredibly enjoyable and a great personal achievement.

​For me the weekend was made complete with an early morning Clubbercise class...what a great class after the night before. I can highly recommend this event, tickets are already on sale for next year.
