Fitbit Captivate Summit 2016: Day 2 - Fort Mason Center San Francisco

, ,

I was in San Francisco to provide music throughout the 2016 Fitbit Captivate Summit, that took place at the Fort Mason Center in San Francisco. Read about day one in an earlier blog post.

Day two consisted of more music sets during the day but also mixed in with providing live DJ services during two different workouts. In the morning, I was back on stage with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak. I DJ’d a workout he led during the Fitbit Alta product launch in New York City earlier this year.

Closing out the day was another high intensity work out that was attended by a handful of the conference goers. Heather McKenzie, a San Francisco based trainer, led that workout.

Here’s a look at the setlists throughout the day.

Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak leads a Fitbit employee workout.

Fitbit held it’s annual Sales and Marketing Summit at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove California. The employee event was the opportunity for the sales and marketing staff to learn about the few Fitbit products and accessories releasing later this year.

I had a couple of responsibilities during the conference. One of them was to play music in the main meeting hall while attendees entered and exited the room. Also to play music and keep the vibe going at different times during the presentations.

I was also brought in to partner up with Harley Pasternak again as he led a workout at the end of the second day of the event. The workout was for the employees, who were outfitted with new, not yet released Fitbit devices. This allowed them to get hands on use of the fitness wearables.

Harley is a lot of fun to work with, as it was the second time around I was able to work with him. The first being in New York City for the launch of Fitbit Alta.

Here’s a look at the setlist for the summit workout.

Fitbit Local has now extended to a fourth city, Seattle. I’ve been so privileged to be a part of each one of these and can feel and see the events getting bigger and bigger each time.

The Fitbit Local program is a series of monthly meet ups to encourage Fitbit users to gather, mingle, exercise and sweat. It's currently underway in San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles and now Seattle.

The Seattle launch took place on March 26, 2016 at the Armory, located inside the Seattle Center. The Fitbit Local Seattle ambassadors are Kaisa Keranen and Kevin Ng. This pairing led a seriously sweat inducing workout, which in my opinion, was the hardest one to date. And the crowd of 500-plus took it like champs.

Kevin and Kaisa will be leading workouts throughout the coming months. Check out the schedule on the Fitbit Local website.

Here’s the setlist from the workout.

Fitbit Local Los Angeles Launch - Santa Monica Pier

,

A roller coaster, Pacific Ocean, the Santa Monica Pier and a few hundred people were the perfect setting for the launch of Fitbit Local Los Angeles.

I was back in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 5 with the Fitbit team to DJ another yoga and fitness event. It was also another event that adds another city to the Fitbit Local roster. Hundreds gathered for a boot camp workout and yoga flow led by Fibit LA ambassadors yoga instructor Elise Joan and personal trainer Todd McCullough. Of course this was all DJ’d by yours truly.

The Fitbit Local program is a series of monthly meet ups to encourage Fitbit users to gather, mingle, exercise and sweat. It's currently underway in San Diego, San Francisco and now Los Angeles.

The energetic duo led a 60 minute workout/yoga session on the historic Santa Monica Pier that perches over the Pacific Ocean. Not a bad setting for an outdoor, Saturday morning workout.

Despite a forecast of rain, a pier under construction and cloudy skies, the people of LA made it out and were part of a great event. A big thanks to Kind Snacks and Suja for distributing goodies to the attendees. 

During the next few months, Todd and Elise will host free meet-ups for anyone in the LA area looking to get moving and healthy. For a complete list of these free workouts, check out the Fitbit Local website.
