BEING AN ACTIVE person is an inherently social endeavour. If you’re keen on keeping fit, you are a part of the fitness community, no matter how minimal your participation. You might strictly follow a few buffed up influencers on Instagram for workout tips and meal prep ideas, or you could be a casual member of your local run club. But big or small, you contribute to the fitness community.
That community is diverse. It includes everyone from professional athletes to first-time gym goers. Rarely do these people meet in the same forum, but all that means is that when they do, it’s a must-see spectacle.
The AusFitness Expo is one such meeting of like-minded fitness enthusiasts. As Australia’s – and the southern hemisphere’s – largest festival of fitness, the expo brings together athletes, personal trainers, world record holders, industry suppliers, brands and everyday workout warriors for the ultimate celebration of fitness culture.
Tickets for the AusFitness Expo are on sale now. Keen to see what all the fuss is about. Here’s everything you need to know about the AusFitness Expo, from the world records attempts to the massive discounts on offer.
What is there to see at the AusFitness Expo?
A lot. Over three days, the 2024 AusFitness Expo in Sydney will see everything from an attempt at a Guinness World Record to a World Powerlifting Championships meet. See the expo’s highlights below.
5x Paralympian Troy Sachs to attempt a Guinness World Record
Troy Sachs, who represented Australia at five different Paralympic Games and won two gold medals as a wheelchair basketballer, has kept himself in phenomenal shape since ending his Paralympic career. So fit is the 48-year-old Sachs that he’s going attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the fastest 50km treadmill run by an amputee athlete. The attempt will take place on the AusFitness Expo’s active stage on day one of the event.
Commando Steve is looking for the next star of Search4Hurt
