The FitPro Convention is to return this summer, but with a rebranded “bigger and better” format under the name FitPro Live.

The annual fitness industry trainers’ convention event takes place from 18-19 July this year at ExCeL London, with organisers promising a weekend of cutting edge educational sessions, including hands-on workshops, masterclasses and seminars, presented by influential fitness professionals.

Industry figures such as John Beradi, Todd Durkin, Mike Fitch, Dr Paul Bedford, Rachel Holmes and Caroline Pearce will run sessions covering everything from personal training to nutrition, mind and body, group fitness and business advice.

For personal trainers, fitness and group exercise instructors as well as fitness fanatics, the Live Zone, now three times bigger, offers a chance to discover new fitness trends and see the latest product and service innovations through live demonstrations.

“FitPro Live is a great opportunity for instructors and personal trainers to network, discover new group exercise concepts and receive advice from top educators within the health and fitness industry,” said FitPro director of commercial operations (Europe) Fergus Ahern.

The final of the Fitness Professional Awards 2014 is also hosted at FitPro Live: categories include Fitness Professional of the Year and the FitPro Award of Excellence.
