It’s hard to believe Fitbloggin’ 2015 has already come and gone! We had such a great time with everyone in Denver this year…and it sounds like you all enjoyed it, too!
You can review the official conference schedule here, but what you won’t find on that page is what meant the most to each of you. That’s what the recaps are for, and you guys do a brilliant job year after year of pulling those together. This year’s highlights included a scavenger hunt around downtown Denver, a lip sync battle, a decadent California Avocado lunch, a proper English tea, rooftop yoga, along with some new and exciting speakers, sessions, and workouts. After all, we had to get some work done, too!
In no particular order, here are this year’s Fitbloggin’ recaps.

It is amazing what can happen when twenty healthy-minded, goal-chasers get in a room and start talking about real life. There was laughter, there was applause, there were tears.
