It’s a chance for the trend-setting in the industry to get together as one community and see all the latest in equipment, and products, and we get to meet up with some of the best in the indusrty. A little history about the Fit Expo, It’s one of the largest fitness and health events in the United States. It takes place annually in Los Angeles, California, and serves as a gathering for fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and professionals in the fitness industry. The expo typically features a wide range of activities and attractions, including fitness competitions, seminars, celebrity appearances, product demonstrations, and more.

This year I was able to meet up with Brad Bose for his annual celebrity personal trainer panel. This year the panel was made of some of the best personal trainers, these personal trainers work with Hollwowood’s elite A-listers. The panel kicked off with the trainers talking about getting their star-studded clientele fit under strict deadlines and getting them ready for the big screen. Brad talked about what gear he uses to get and keep his clients fit on the road or on location during tours or while shooting.

The Katalyst Suit

This is an amazing piece of technology. It’s a low-impact high-reward solution for next-level fitness. The suit and workouts included with the suit precisely target both slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers, promoting balanced muscle development and muscle growth. Additionally, it enhances blood circulation, delivering more nutrients and oxygen to your muscles which accelerates recovery, reduces muscle soreness, and promotes healing, so you can stay at your peak performance.
