bodypower weekend 2016 |
|
13th-15th May 2016 saw the most amazing weekend for sports, exercise, health and fitness you've ever seen! A space where all the top names in the industry come together to live and breathe fitness. I was lucky enough to be able to attend on all 3 days this year and not just for myself, but to represent the CocoPro brand that I am lucky enough to be an ambassador for!
The whole weekend was crammed full of exciting giveaways, talks, shows and so much more! Please keep reading as I will be taking you through a little tour of each day and what I got up to on each day :).

Day One
We arrived at Bodypower in the afternoon on Friday as we had to travel down that morning...a whole 3 hour journey for me!!
When we arrived the atmosphere was buzzing from the minute we walked through the door. The USN stand was our first visit as this was literally the first stand we came across when we went in. From that first moment they didn't disappoint; free samples of their newest products, top athletes to speak to and plenty of challenges and games for you to try and win free goodies! They also put on a huge show with stunts on a bike and boxing work from up an coming boxers. They also showed some amazing tricks from free runners.
From there we went for a wander around the rest of the expo. We hadn't eaten since breakfast so we headed over to the food area and enjoyed lunch from Heck (www.heckfood.co.uk)... amazing chicken sausages! We were fuelled and ready to explore some more. We decided today was the day to try and get as many freebies and goodies as possible so spent plenty of time queuing for things! We visited My Protein, Gymshark, Protein Pick and Mix (nut butter heaven-and yes I bought some...whoops!!), Phd, Muscle Mousse and so many more its so difficult to remember everybody! My favourite visit of the day was to Two Chicks Products where we bought some Chirps which are high protein egg white bites- they taste delicious :).
We were also lucky enough to catch a talk by the amazing Dana Linn Bailey and watch the YOLO team cook up a storm in the Healthy Eating Kitchen area.

Day Two
This was the craziest, busiest and BEST day! I can't even describe how incredible the atmosphere was!
More freebies and prizes, seeing Paige Hathaway, Michelle Lewin, Ronni Coleman, Eddie Hall and the completely amazing #girlgains girls Tally, Vic and Zanna! I managed to sneak a quick piccie with Vic too :)!
We headed around the whole show again today and spent a lot of time around the Fit Fuel stand where Michelle Lewin and Paige Hathaway were! Music, food and top athletes, they definitely stole the show!
Today was also the day where we consumed the most food... Yogland Frozen Yoghurt, more Heck, Musclefood burgers and lets not forget all the samples of protein bars, more nut butters and protein drinks!

Day Three
This was short and sweet as we had to get back home today..booooo!
Another walk around, even more freebies and some cheeky new gym gear from Gymshark, Gym Versus and Core X :). New gym clothes makes a happy Amie :D.
Today I managed to meet fellow CocoPro ambassador Ash which was amazing! I also caught a quick 15 minute exclusive talk from Paige Hathaway. It was amazing to know just how 'normal' most of these people are. We always get caught up in what we see and hear on social media and it was a great reminder that these people are human too and have their own lives away from the public eye. What we see is just a glimpse of their lives and yes, its the best part that we see.
