It's getting real - Fitfair 2018

In the last weekend of November it took place; The Fitfair 2018. The first fitness expo I went to in my life. And... It was worth it. I found out about this Expo through a video on YouTube of one of my favourite fitnessyoutubers Merijn. He had his own stand with his own clothing line, book and of course, I could meet him, but I'll get to that later.

Because it was my first experience with a fitness expo I didn't know what to expect at all. So I went in without any expectations or ideas.

At first I walked around a bit and looked through all the stands that were at the expo. It was really interesting to see all the different brands and companies. In the back of my head I was also thinking about my own future and what I would want to do with fitness. One of the companies at the expo was Start2Move and I already have a course planned at their school. The course I am going to do is Sport & Nutrition in January and February next year. Because I want to develop my knowledge about nutrition I asked them which courses could add up after Sport & Nutrition. I received some information and I am going to do the course to become a Weightconsultant as well!

At the fitnessexpo there were also a lot of fitness clothing brands which looked really good. At the stand of DSCPLND Apparel I got the chance to spin a wheel to win one of their products. Lucky me, the wheel ended up on one of their hoodies!

For me, as a nutrition fanatic, I liked that there were many stands with protein snacks to try. A lot of companies had samples of their products so you could try them out. It was also interesting to see the marketing strategy that some companies used, something I can learn from as well.

Now, for me the highlight of that day was meeting Merijn (Student Aesthetics). He is a big inspiration for me because he shows me that you can reach your goal in life if you never give up and keep working hard (sounds cliche but it's true ;'). I found his YouTube channel a year ago and I've been watching his videos ever since. Not only the inspirational and informational once but also his food challenges which are amazing.

At the end of the day I decided to buy some clothes from his clothing line 'Kristal Limited' and got a big discount! I eventually got the chance to take a picture and went home with a smile on my face.
