San Diego DJ, Justin Kanoya, works the Fitbit Local event at Belmont Terrace with Mike Sherbakov and Sheri Matthews. 

I got together with my Fitbit Local ambassador friends, Mike Sherbakov and Sheri Matthews, for a second round of working out on a rooftop overlooking the beach. We did this mid-year Fitbit party last year, and this years was just as fun. Bonus: it took place on my birthday, which means I got serenaded by 100-plus strangers. Good times.

Fitbit Local workouts are always fun and free. Big thanks to the Belmont Terrace for having us out, as well as Suja and Perfect Bar for continued support!

Challenged Athletes Foundation Fundraising Spin Class - The Rush Studio

,

Fitness DJ Justin Kanoya, with corporate wellness professional and spin instructor, Sheri Matthews.

Sheri Matthews - my friend, spin instructor, runner, encourager, multi brand ambassador (notably Fitbit and Lululemon) -- is running the New York City Marathon. She runs a lot of racers, but this particular one is in recognition for the Challenge Athletes Foundation, an amazing organization that provide opportunities and support to people with physical challenges, so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics.

While many people run marathons to meet personal goals, Sheri’s primary reason for running the NYC marathon was to raise awareness and funds for the CAF. When I heard her fundraising efforts were carrying over to a spin cycling class she was leading at the Rush Studio in La Jolla I knew I wanted to be a part of that.

So Sheri and I once again shared a stage where she led a sweat inducing workout and I kept her riders motivated with some intense tunes.

And, BTW, Sheri did awesome in NYC, with another sub-four hour marathon finish and a cool picture with Meb Keflezighi.

Here’s a look at the setlist from the spin class.

Pacific Beachfest Sunset Yoga and 5k - Mission Beach, San Diego

,

Pacific Beachfest Sunset Yoga and 5k took place on October 1, 2016.

High Performance Movement is a San Diego based event production that specializes in putting together races such as the Corporate Dash 5k, Santa Run and the annual Pacific Beachfest 5k. I’ve had the opportunity to DJ a few of their events, but was very excited when they asked me to be a part of their first ever yoga event.

The Sunset Yoga and 5k was an addition to the Beachfest 5k this year. The “competitive” race took place in the morning, while the yoga/run occurred later in the day - hence the name Sunset Yoga.

It was the first time I’ve DJ’d on a beach, and since I was set-up early, I figured I might as well play tunes for those sunning themselves on sands of Pacific Beach. Below is the setlist I played prior to the yoga start. And further down is the set for the yoga session led by my good friend, Lauren Padula.

Fitbit Flex 2; Charge 2 Product Launch - The Battery San Francisco

,

San Diego DJ, Justin Kanoya, spins music at the launch producut event for the Fitbit Flex 2 and Fitbit Charge 2.

Fitbit announced inside and out upgrades to the Flex and Charge, two of its most popular fitness trackers this week. The new devices, simply named Fitbit Flex 2 and Fitbit Charge 2, were unveiled at recent media events in New York and San Francisco.

I had the opportunity to DJ the San Francisco event, making it the second product launch event I partnered with Fitbit on. In February I was on hand for the launch of Fitbit Alta.

In San Francisco, the event took place on August 25, 2016 at The Battery, a boutique hotel and private social club. It was divided into two sessions, each attended by approximately 25 members of media from technology, fitness, network and fashion publications, websites and TV outlets.

San Diego based fitness DJ, Justin Kanoya, and fitness expert Gabby Reece. 

After a product overview of both of the new devices, including updates to other products in Fitbit's existing product line, the attendees were brought outside to the Battery rooftop for a 20 minute workout led by former professional beach volleyball player and fitness expert, Gabby Reece.

It was a fun experience for me to put together her setlist, which had a lot of old school hip-hop requests coupled with current tunes. She was awesome to hang with and I was honored to have the chance to meet her.

Here’s a look at the setlist I played for both sessions.

  • T.I. - Bring Em Out
  • DMX vs Jackal - Ruff Ryders Anthem (Kaos Animal Style Bootleg)
  • Terror Squad - Lean Back
  • Jay-Z - I Can't Get With That (DJ Clark Kent Version)
  • Fetty Wap f./Snoop Dogg - Westside (Promo Only Quick Edit)
  • Fetty Wap, Monty - 679 (Street Tracks Remix)
  • V.I.C. - Wobble
  • Iggy Azalea - Team (Promo Only Quick Edit)
  • Dr Dre ft Snoop Dogg & Kurup & Nate Dogg - The Next Episode (DJCiRCLE K & DJ Jay2 Bpm Supreme West Coast Blend)
  • Dr. Dre ft Snoop Dogg - Nuthin' But A G Thang
  • Drake f./Wizkid & Kyla - One Dance
  • Selena Gomez ft ASAP Rocky - Good For You (Caked Up Remix)
  • House of Pain - Jump Around
  • Rob Base & DJ E Z Rock - It Takes Two

And what about the news on the new devices? Read all about it in this brief overview I put together.
