FitnessFest 2025 is set to deliver its most advanced and experiential event yet. It offers fitness professionals an unparalleled opportunity to grow their expertise, earn continuing education credits, and forge meaningful industry connections in one dynamic weekend.
Founded by fitness professionals for fitness professionals. FitnessFest has established itself as the premier event where fitness experts can earn CECs, discover new formats, advance their careers, and stay inspired while making real, in-person connections.
“I couldn’t be prouder of my team and the incredible effort we’ve put into creating a top-tier event for fitness trainers, instructors, and enthusiasts,” shares Janice Jaicks, FitnessFest Founder/CEO, who has been running the event in Phoenix, Arizona, for 28 years. “This year, we’re bringing an exciting mix of experiences—from a rock climbing wall and rooftop yoga to a cooking demo, Upbeat Barre, chair classes, and Brain Fitness—truly something for everyone!”
Attendees can look forward to learning from industry leaders like Donna Black, Kathleen Ferguson, Linda Dodd, Carl Horne Jr., and Dr. Cody Sipe—just a few names in this year’s impressive lineup. New for 2025, FitnessFest is introducing a stand-alone Roundtable session, providing an interactive experience with diverse topics and expert speakers designed to spark those valuable “AHA!” moments across nine different topics.
“What I cherish most about FitnessFest is reconnecting with longtime friends who have been part of this journey for decades and welcoming new faces from all over the country,” Jaicks continues. “I’m especially excited to have Kathleen Ferguson joining us at this year’s Roundtable. I’ve been looking forward to meeting her in person for years, and I know she’ll bring incredible value to our event.”
The event offers comprehensive educational sessions covering cardio, breathwork, balance training, mind-body movement, fascial awareness, movement therapy, personal training, active aging, aqua fitness, mental and physical healing, gut health, herbal remedies, business development, and nutrition.
Continuing education credits are available from ACE, AEA, AFAA, ISSA, NASM, and FitnessFest, with credits available for all other organizations upon petition. This means attendees can earn all their required CECs in just one weekend.
The FitnessFest event offers career coaching, brand building, networking support, skill development, and mentorship in an environment that feels more like family than a professional gathering.
“More than just an event, FitnessFest fosters a welcoming culture where friends become family,” explains Jaicks. This supportive atmosphere is especially valuable in an industry where making connections is vital to growth and success.
Fitness professionals looking to attend can use code COACH35 to get $35 off any one-day, two-day, or full weekend ticket, making this investment in professional development even more accessible.
