Rock Solid Fitness & Co at the Resistance Exercise Conference
On the 9th and 10th March 2018, I attended the Resistance Exercise Conference in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US. I had one of the best weekends of my life.
I had the opportunity to meet some of my personal heroes, podcast guests and listeners, learn from amazing minds and network with a great strength training community. I came away from the event feeling incredibly inspired and connected to a great group of individuals passionate about strength training and motivated to make the world a healthier place.
If you are passionate about high intensity training, becoming a great personal trainer or want to start and/or grow your strength training business, this is the place to be.
I will be looking to attend every single year.
