FitBloggin’ is excited to announce our latest sponsor, Reebok!

Reebok has a heritage of empowering people to get fit – it’s part of the brand’s DNA. In the 1980s, Reebok was a major catalyst in the growth of the fitness movement, and through products such as the Freestyle, and programming like Step Reebok, Reebok led a new fitness movement that carried the brand to unprecedented growth.

Reebok has been at the forefront of a fitness movement before, and is doing the same thing today. In 2012, Reebok is aiming to change the way people perceive, define and experience fitness, and ultimately show the world that fitness can deliver everything they love about sport. More and more people are coming together to experience fitness in a community environment, with shared goals, shared experiences and a certain level of competition. It shows that fitness can be experienced in a supportive, engaging and dynamic way.

At the center of Reebok’s fitness campaign is CrossFit, the revolutionary strength and conditioning program. CrossFit is one of the fastest growing fitness movements in the world. It is a sport that is about community, competition and camaraderie – and delivers amazing results.

Join us in Baltimore Sept. 20-23 to experience Reebok Fitness with a CrossFit workout and participate in our 5K run/1-mile walk.

This post is Looong overdo. My apologies. Trust me when I say there has been a lot of activity in the FitBloggin’ camp. We’ve been negotiating the venue, forming a team and trying to dream up the perfect fitness centric blogging conference EVER.

At this point here’s what I can tell you…

1. FitBloggin’12 will be happening. This I promise.
2. Baltimore is the home of FitBloggin’. Expect next years conference to be in hosted in Charm City. However, we may have more organized FitBloggin’ Local style events coming to a city near you in the future.
3. FitBloggin’12 will shift from the Spring to the Fall. We don’t have the exact days yet but expect late September/early October.

Thank you for being patient. We wil announce further details as soon as possible!
