Orlando Fitness…
So I had a great weekend in Orlando at the Fitness Info Summit hosted by Bedros Keulian right inside Disney World.
I met some great people, made new friends, reconnected with old ones and learned a ton of new information… as the title of the conference implied I would 😉
I also found a moment to talk with and thank a couple of guys I respect. One being Bedros Keulian, the host and a presenter, and Craig Ballantyne, another presenter and one of my fitness industry idols.
First, Bedros is just a giver. Much like Ryan Lee.
It’s amazing at how much knowledge is given away by these men. I value and appreciate them greatly.
And each being from a different coast they have similar visions yet different approaches and styles of presenting their knowledge to be learned. Absolutely fantastic.
I look up to Craig for many reasons, but one is his presence in the magazine/print world. He’s written for everybody and serves on the Men’s Health advisory board for years. He’s a funny (well my kind of funny) and fantastic guy.

That interview is still one of my highest honors. It just may be an interview, but for me it was a bit of solidity and recognition for all my hard work. I told him too on Saturday night. Just before this photo. He really has inspired me and helped me transform into a better fitness professional.
I took copious notes during the sessions, and have already begun implementing my new knowledge into programming and development so I can better serve all of you with my own knowledge.
But a big thank you to everyone who I met, who presented, and who I will be working and collaborating with on future endeavors.
It was amazing.
