Fitness and wellness took center stage at this year’s IL Fit Fest on Saturday, November 15 at the UB Field. People from all walks of life - fitness instructors, nutrition brands, gyms, medical centers, and anyone looking to stay healthy - gathered early and stayed throughout the day.

Bodine Victoria and Ozzie the Ventertainer kept the energy high as they led the day’s activities. Classes from Baha Hoop Yogi, Patrice Murrell, MAC Fit, Bahama Beach Fitness, Spin Drip Fitness, and Peach Fitness offered a variety of ways to move. Visitors also got a boost from Bodied by Ty and Darrell Patterson, who traveled from the United States and delivered high-energy sessions that had the crowd moving non-stop.

Attendees explored the booths, asked questions, and joined in quick challenges from the brands and companies on site. Giveaways added to the excitement, and many stayed until the end to cheer on the car pulling contest.
