Over four hundred buyers have already registered for the show in anticipation of previewing the latest fitness products and industry trends

Health & Fitness Business Expo show management is pleased to report that early registration numbers are strong for the upcoming August trade event. To date, over four hundred buyers have already registered for the show in anticipation of previewing the latest fitness products and industry trends.

Once again, the strength of the Health & Fitness Business show lies in the focused business atmosphere it provides as well as the caliber of buyer in attendance. Key representatives from both general sporting goods and specialty fitness stores have registered for the expo, including: Modell's, Copeland's, Galyan's Trading Company, REI, Paragon, Play it Again Sports, Sport Chalet, The Sports Authority, Dick's Sporting Goods, Gart Sports, Busy Body Fitness Stores, Fitness Systems, LA Gym Equipment, Advanced Exercise Equipment, The Fitness Store and many others. Key fitness industry players, including the Nautilus Health & Fitness Group, Diamondback Fitness, True Fitness, Bodyguard Fitness, SportsArt America and Keys Fitness, headline the exhibitor list.

Show registration is currently in full swing and the recent addition of online retailer registration is paying dividends as evidenced by these early figures. Retailers can still register online for free through July 9th. After this date there is a $25 dollar registration fee.

We are very pleased with our early registration numbers, especially in light of the fact that we only opened registration two weeks ago, said Tradeshow Director Lance Camisasca. More importantly for the fitness industry, we are proud of the type of buyer the show is attracting and the opportunities these connections provide to our exhibitors, concluded Camisasca.
