I had a very interesting convo with the mayoress of my village the other evening and she's basically given me the go-ahead to crack on with setting up a fitness convention here to give tourism the shot in the arm it desperately needs. Now I'm not completely clueless when it comes to this stuff as I trained to become a PT back in 2000, read a few strength and conditioning blogs and mix up my own training with everything from rope-climbing to sandbag stuff, kettlebells, barbells, gymnastic rings etc, however, my knowledge tends to be on the more extreme end of things (Ross Enamait-inspired stuff, basic powerlifting work etc) and although this will be somewhat relevant for what I'm about to set up, I obviously need to find out about some tamer stuff for beginners, women and lazy folks
What sort of stuff is popular these days where you are? Zumba, TRX, boot camps, MMA-inspired workouts, Tough Mudder???!!!
Also, anybody involved in this sort of thing themselves? Any advice would be welcome. My initial idea is simply to set up various competitions throughout the weekend (all short duration as I don't want to be controlling marathon distance events and they're not exactly crowd pleasing anyway), lots of classes to show this part of Spain that looking after yourself can be fun and doesn't have to be restricted to running and going to the gym (although nowt wrong with that) and some demonstrations by gymnasts, martial artists and stuff like that.
What would you do if tasked with something like this?
Cheers all
