Last weekend the 27th International Health & Fitness Congress by Grafts Hellas took place in Thessaloniki.
It was a huge event with over 500 participants and a team of international presenters. I was once again invited as functional training expert and this time among others I presented a group fitness masterclass with the title „Group Functional“ with the Redondo Ball Plus of TOGU as Tabata style workout. Even if the pictures speak for themselves I have to admit that I have never before experienced such as overwhelming and motivation between the participants as well as the big number of audience who was not able to get a ball to work out since the masterclass was totally sold out. Thanks to GRAFTS and TOGU for this amazing experience. I am looking forward to for next year again in Thessaloniki.
