Calling all fitness pros—group instructors, personal trainers, and everyone in between. Bring your creativity and leave with plug-and-play partner drills, team-based activities, and connection-first coaching strategies that turn classes and training sessions into communities. Explore how to remix trending ideas from social platforms into safe, scalable progressions you can use immediately, paired with engagement games and cueing tools that make movement memorable. Fitness is more than a workout—it’s an experience. Come spark joy, build belonging, and keep your classes fresh, fun, and full.

Session 2 - Chair Fitness Revamped with Lexi Bulich  

0.15 credits AFAA/NASM 

Turn a simple chair into a mini dance floor as we blend interactive lecture with guided practice to explore how rhythm, expression, and connection elevate seated movement. This is not your typical chair class—here, we move the whole body as if the seat is our floor and our sit bones are our feet, bringing back the joy of dancing for those who’ve been told they can no longer move the way they used to. You’ll learn musicality-driven combinations, accessible progressions, and community-building cueing for a true head-to-toe experience. We wrap up with a guided segment inspired by LaBlast® Chair Fitness.
