Ireland’s Fitness Party 2014

Ireland’s Fitness Party 2014 was one of the Health and Fitness events of the year in Dublin. It was organised by the Profi Fitness School .  It was a four day event (24-27 October, 2014) running through the bank holiday weekend. On Friday it was held in Goldstone Fitness in Dublin 12 and from Saturday to Monday it was held in St. Catherine’s Sports Centre in Dublin 8.  It featured great international instructors like Edyta Bartejczuk-Wolak, Kacper Wojcik, Luis Barbudo, Kasia Gasiarowska, Erle Liivak, Luciano Mottola, Heather Gordon, Nadia D'limi and Troy Dureh, just to name a few. The first day was all dedicated to cycling classes and a 2 hour marathon but unfortunately I wasn’t able to go. I did go to the last three days and they were great, full of different classes to try out (rip:60, dance classes, step classes, CrossFit, Reggaeton, circuit classes, H.I.I.T., pump and tone, fight club, different styles of pilates and yoga classes amongst others)

This event also introduced some different new trends in Fitness such as Piloxing (fusion of pilates, dance and boxing), KONGA, crazy jumping (a very fun class on the trampoline).

There was a variety of Exhibitors such as Dublin Holistic Centre, Fitness by Olena, Feel Joy Fitness & Dance Clothing, Smovey, XBody Ireland Ltd. (which really caught my attention as I got to try on the equipment and it is quite a challenging method of exercise using electric muscle stimulation).

There were more than 20 workshops about all things Health & Fitness. My favourites were Dawid Geler lecturing on Bodybuilding and also Oto Winkler’s Advanced Nutrition lecture. I found those workshops very inspiring and they gave me plenty of tips as a Fitness Instructor and Personal Trainer.

                No matter what age you were, as a Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer trying to get more ideas or to collect CPD or simply a Fitness enthusiast, you would definitely have found something of interest at this Fitness event. I had great fun there and I am already looking forward to their next event!
