YOGA on the beach, street food by the pier and paddleboarding on the water – a new fitness show promises to put Bournemouth on the lifestyle map.

With more than 50 classes to try, speakers on healthy living and a fitness exhibition, FitLiving UK will launch on Bournemouth beach and at the BIC on Saturday September 9 and Sunday September 10.

And organisers say there will be something for everyone; from Crossfit, yoga, boxing, body combat, body pump, body balance and Zumba.

Children will also be able to enjoy mini football and gymnastics.

A nutritional village will be on offer alongside the latest in fitness tech, recipes in the demo kitchen and a wide variety of health and fitness professionals.

A stage will be set-up on the west side of the pier with displays and a 'holistic and wellbeing tent' offering free massages, a yoga tent and tough fitness on the beach.

Inside the BIC will be a stage for speakers and bloggers and a family zone, with organisers promising appearances from chefs, sporting celebrities and fitness professionals.

Mike Lyons, BH Live’s director of sport and leisure said: "We are thrilled to be part of FitLiving UK’s ambition to promote Bournemouth as a top wellness destination.

"This unique event will shine the spotlight on the region’s outstanding and thriving health and wellbeing activities and facilities, promoting them to a UK-wide audience of beginners, families and pros."

Gemma Harris, managing director of Lineup Media and Events, who is running the event, said: “We wanted to create a show that would be completely interactive as well as demystifying the idea of a healthy lifestyle for people who might be scared to take the leap into fitness and nutrition.

"There was a gap in the market for this type of event, with Bournemouth flourishing in fitness right now, as reportedly one of the most active towns in the UK.

"Everyone seems genuinely excited about this one.”

Tickets are priced at £5.25 for entrance and £12.75 for the whole weekend including classes. Tickets are available from bhlivetickets.co.uk.
