This exclusive pre-FitExpo experience offers attendees a carefully crafted day featuring breakfast with industry professionals, a collaborative workout session, and meaningful networking opportunities. The early bird priced $99 ticket grants access to both Career Lab Live and the full weekend of TheFitExpo festivities following on August 2-3.

Fitness professionals seeking career advancement, community connections, and industry insights will find tremendous value at this SoCal event. As a follow-up to Coach360’s Virtual Career Lab, which will take place on June 17th, this in-person gathering amplifies the career development mission while creating face-to-face connections impossible to replicate online.

Career Lab Experience

Career Lab by Coach360 Live delivers a concentrated day of professional growth specifically designed for fitness coaches and trainers. Participants begin with an intimate breakfast alongside respected fitness professionals, creating casual conversation opportunities with potential mentors and peers. This morning’s connection sets the collaborative tone for the day ahead.

The event continues with a group workout session that allows trainers to get up and move their bodies while building camaraderie with fellow professionals. Throughout the day, structured networking activities facilitate meaningful connections outside of exchanging business cards to establish genuine professional relationships.

For $100, attendees receive this full-day experience plus complimentary weekend access to TheFitExpo, Southern California’s premier fitness showcase. This value-packed admission grants fitness professionals multiple days of industry immersion for the price of a single event.

TheFitExpo Connection

The strategic timing before TheFitExpo maximizes the weekend potential for fitness professionals attending Career Lab Live. During the August 2-3 expo, attendees will sample leading brands’ latest energy drinks, supplements, protein products, and nutritional offerings. Although the 2025 lineup is yet to be announced, past expos have featured appearances by fitness icons, including 4X Olympia Champion Jay Cutler, celebrity trainer Corey Calliet, and social media phenomenon Granny Guns.

The expo floor buzzes with bodybuilding competitions, product demonstrations, and countless opportunities to discover emerging fitness trends. Experience the latest in AI wellness, fitness Avatar development, and EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) technology— you may even be the lucky winner of an EMS suit! Seeing these industry developments firsthand provides Career Lab attendees with practical knowledge they can immediately implement in their professional practices. 

Coach360 positioned Career Lab Live as a pre-expo event (Register Now!), allowing fitness professionals to build relationships on Friday that carry forward into TheFitExpo weekend. This scheduling transforms what might have been a passive expo experience into an active professional development opportunity spanning multiple days.

Tickets are on sale for an early bird price of $99 before June 6th, after which, the price will rise to $149 per person. Don’t miss out on this amazing price point, sign up today! 

Virtual to In-Person: The Career Development Journey

Before the Anaheim gathering, Coach360 kicks off its career development initiatives with the Virtual Career Lab on June 17th. This online event features presentations from industry standouts, including Christine Conti, Dan Duran, Jack Thomas, and Emma Vacanti. With 2,000 fitness professionals expected to attend virtually, this digital experience lays the foundational career concepts the in-person Anaheim event will build upon.

Businesses looking to connect with this engaged audience can still participate through virtual booths, sponsorship packages, or attending the August event in Anaheim. This multifaceted approach creates multiple touchpoints for professionals at every career stage. Sponsorship will also include a two-day pass to TheFitExpo hall. 

The virtual-to-physical progression demonstrates Coach360’s recognition that different learning environments serve various purposes. The online event simultaneously delivers educational content and connection to thousands, while the Anaheim gathering fosters human connections and experiential learning in person. 

Final Thoughts

Physical presence creates possibilities beyond our wildest imagination. The shared energy of a room full of passionate fitness professionals, spontaneous conversations during breakfast, workouts, expo hall breaks, and valuable chance encounters throughout Coach360’s Career Lab Live generate momentum even after the expo halls are vacant.

Career advancement happens through knowledge acquisition and relationship building. Coach360’s integrated approach addresses both requirements for professional growth. By bringing together motivated fitness leaders in a supportive environment before TheFitExpo’s industry showcase, Coach360 has crafted an experience that serves immediate professional needs while establishing connections that will fuel career development for years to come.
