The bank holiday weekend is nearing and, therefore, so is Be:Fit London. ‘What the frig is that?’ you may be asking your screen – well, it’s a three-day health and fitness event for women in London’s Business Design Centre from 1-3 May. And, luckily, there are still limited tickets left.
If you’ve found yourself reading this blog, presumably it’s because you’re interested in health and fitness – even if you don’t quite know where to get started with it all. Well, events like this are a fantastic way to get clued up – all the brands, classes and fitness professionals you might have (or haven’t) heard of are all in the same place, and you can scope them all out in one go.
For starters there’s a host of inspirational talks from Olympic greats Rebecca Adlington, Victoria Pendleton and Denise Lewis, as well as experts such as nutritionists Madeleine Shaw and Amanda Hamilton, while Melissa White takes on the sadly-relevant topic of how to embrace your body for what it is, and not the media’s depiction of what it should look like.
Then there’s all the classes you can book onto from BOOM Cycle, Barry’s Bootcamp, Les Mills, Equinox, Insanity and FRAME, plus lots of yoga. You can book tickets online for just £2 for guaranteed entry – which is a lot cheaper than booking their normal classes. So, turn up in something sweat-friendly and make the most of it.
And then? Well, it’s just a case of perusing the 125 premium brands – think Withings, British Heart Foundation, Bounce Balls and Abel & Cole – that will be pitched up showing off a load of products and advice, with discounts and (if you’re lucky) samples.
It’s looking like there are only normal tickets left to buy now – but, for the future it’s worth bearing in mind that there are also Luxe Experience tickets that come with a 30 sports massage, a luxury goodie bag and access to the Luxe Lounge that has champagne in it. Yeah, we wish we’d got one, too… There’s always next year.
