Why Attend FitExpo?
For UK instructors, FitExpo is more than a conference, it’s an opportunity for professional growth, connection, and inspiration.
“I attended to grow and develop as a group fitness instructor,” said Eliza Aaron. “Learning from instructors across the SEC gave me new ideas and practical techniques I can bring back to my classes.”
Anna Johnson reflected on returning year after year to reconnect with peers and learn from other universities. “I always leave feeling inspired and excited to instruct and train my clients,” she shared.
For Bryanna Theeuwes, the experience centered on both learning and community. “FitExpo was a great way to make fitness fun and connect with others who share similar interests.”
Highlights from the Conference
Instructors participated in a wide range of group fitness classes, workshops, and presentations, making the experience both energizing and educational. Participants highlighted high-energy group fitness formats, choreography-based dance classes, and hands-on workshops led by industry professionals.
One of the most valuable aspects was the opportunity to both experience new formats and take classes they already teach, allowing instructors to refine their own programming ideas.
For Bella Detmer, that balance of learning and energy made a lasting impact. “Being surrounded by passionate professionals creates a contagious energy,” she said. “I leave each year with new skills, programming ideas, and motivation to continue doing what I love.”
Connection was also a key takeaway. “My favorite part was meeting people from other schools with similar interests,” shared Keira Quinn. “It was inspiring to hear about their experiences in campus recreation.”
