Should I attend FitBloggin? If that is your question, the answer is ABSOLUTELY! FitBloggin was AMAZING!
For those that are unaware, the mission of FitBloggin is “To bring together the community of health-conscious bloggers for education, networking and friendship.” It is founded and organized by Roni Noone, blogger at Roni’s Weigh.
I spent 2 days with like minded people just embracing this amazing community of people all on a journey of living a healthier lifestyle & 95% of them just happen to be bloggers.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT FITBLOGGIN
My title may seem unfair, however if you’re looking for fellowship, workouts, and information in a controlled crowd, you might agree that this conference stands out.
FELLOWSHIP
First and foremost, I most enjoyed meeting and seeing my blog friends!
I saw all these amazing people!
I met a few as well that I connected with on social media! 1 chick I met at dinner and roomed with the first night!
It might sound crazy, but the community is just that welcoming.
I did a little exploring of Riverstreet with Hope and her come and go sister!
Savannah has a lot to offer and there was plenty of time in the FitBloggin agenda to take advantage of the tourist attractions in the city.
INFORMATIVE
My favorite session was from Katy Widrick on blog media kits. She offers a host of blog media kit information on her blog. I am happy to report, I’ve put that session into action and completed my media kit.
I also got to support my girls Nellie and Kim in “Balancing Your Blog Without Losing Yourself”. That session was important to me, because of my extended blog break due to the changing of shifts at my primary job and trying to balance all my extras!
My biggest appreciation came from Erica House who hosted the blogger panel. She told us she was an open book, and that she is! I was so grateful a few days after Fitbloggin’ for this monetary blog post where she told exactly how much money she made last year on her blog and how! Great insight to have when trying to make plans for your own blog future.
WORKOUTS
I do not consider myself a dancer, I went to Zumba ONLY because my girl was teaching! They did an 80’s music mix that was bananas! The music was out of control and I got into it for sure. It was not a traditional Zumba class, but I was with it! Super fun!
CONCLUSION
I have no desire to visit the city of Denver, CO, however, I enjoyed FitBloggin so much that it has already been put on my travel agenda!
I highly reccomend this NO JUDGMENT ZONE atmosphere for anyone on a journey toward health and sharing it by blogging, videos, or social media!
****FitBloggin restored my blogging energy (You can tell right, 3 months after the fact). I have missed blogging so much and I am now comfortable with accepting that I can’t blog as much as I used to. I also know, that just because I can’t doesn’t mean my community will put me down.****

oh my Joi, it was so much fun hanging with you and chatting with you at all of our meals. I am so happy you had FUN at fitbloggin because girl I’d be in trouble if you didn’t!! haha thank you for the shoutout and I will see you in Denver 🙂
I also did the media kit for the first time and I LOVE mine, maybe because I designed it lol. I have used it several times and have gotten some jobs from it, I think once Katy approves you are golden!
Hope to see more of you soon!

All was well Nellie, thanks for recommending it!
Fit Bloggin is at the top of my conference list. I would love to go. I’ve never roomed with a stranger. Hmm. I don’t know how I’d feel about that. Definitely couldn’t room with someone who snores or it could be a crime scene. 🙂 It’s inspiring to hear other people’s stories. Glad you posted, I’ve missed your posts.

That was kinda whacky Debra but it turned out ok!
So cool that you got to meet and hang out with Nellie!!

Nellie and Allie! And you! In one of my favorite cities.
I’ve never been to Denver, but it’s actually on my dream list. Although my sister just went and said the altitude took getting used to! I’m sure you’ll be in shape for it, though.

Oh how I love when you pop up on my feed!! It was so great meeting you at FitBloggin and I do hope to reunite in Denver!! Who else is going Zumba/non-Zumba with me?? 🙂
Allie recently posted…Sticker Shock
Yay, I’m glad you’re going back. We’ll have to spend more time together!
How cool that you hung out with Allie, Nellie, and Hope! I missed Bloggy Boot Camp in ATL this year. I so wanted to go but that didn’t work out. I’m determined to get a blog convention on my agenda for next year. One of my goals for this month is to create a media kit. I just created a writing resume to get freelance jobs. I was quite surprised at how much I was able to put on it.
I roomed with a stranger for the first time during my freshman year of college living in the dorms. That first night was so weird sleeping in a room with someone I didn’t know. Because it was just the two of us. My sister and I had separate rooms growing up so I had no experience with it. I roomed with someone else I didn’t know in the dorms during my sophomore year. By my junior year, I insisted on a private dorm room. LOL
You know you always have my support however and whenever you post. Glad to see a new one from you, Sis!

When you make a decision to attend a blog conference, let me know. I’d love to link up and hang out at one of them.
couldn’t agree more. Fitbloggin is a special conference for how they are able to make everyone feel comfortable. definitely a “no judgement zone”, it was so nice to finally meet you 🙂 i don’t think i’m going to Denver next year but hope to connect again.
