New for 2027
Built for the people who make campus fitness happen
You teach the classes. You coach the clients, run the floor, and keep the energy up when the gym is packed. Collegiate Fit Florida is a day built for you, and for the coordinators and directors who hire, coach, and champion that work.
It's the newest stop in the Collegiate Fit series and the first one built for Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Come sharpen your skills, trade ideas with people who do exactly what you do, and leave with friends you'll see again next year.

Hands-on coaching you can use on the floor and in class your very next shift.
