Fit Expo Packing List

We can’t wait to see you at the Fit Expo! A Virginia February can range anywhere from blizzard to shorts and t-shirt weather! To be safe, we recommend you pack layers that you can easily pull on or take off if needed. The Saturday evening social will be held in the pool so don’t forget to pack a swim suit! Leave your towel behind however, because every attendee will receive a beach towel at registration! Consult your session registration while packing as you may need to bring a few specialty items (see below).
Please note that UVA is committed to reducing single use plastics and as such, no plastic water bottles will be available at Fit Expo. Additionally, all plates, food containers, and serving ware are recyclable or compostable.  
We recommend that all conference attendees pack: 
​
  • Water bottle (per UVA’s single use plastics policy mentioned above)
  • Several workout outfits
  • Jacket, sweatshirt, or long-sleeved tee to wear in lectures or in between active sessions
  • Swim Suit (Bring an extra suit if you plan to take a few aqua workshops so you have a dry suit to pull on later.) 
  • Spin shoes for cycle sessions (Our Keiser bikes use SPD Compatible Bike Cleats). If you don’t own bike cleats, don’t panic! The flip-side of the pedals allow you to strap-in with your cross-trainers. 
  • Hiking shoes (or shoes you don’t mind getting dirty) and outdoor clothing if you are participating in Taking Fitness Outside and/or High Ropes Challenge: Supporting Others to New Heights.
  • Heels if you are participating in the Hips & Heels dance session. If you forget, your cross-trainers will be fine also.
  • Don’t forget your music if you are performing with a Demo Team!
  • Snacks. Your conference registration includes lunch on Saturday, a smoothie at the Saturday social, and access to snacks at the Fuel Bar. Additionally, Juice Laundry, will be open in the AFC during the conference hours if you’d like to purchase healthy snacks at any point during the conference. 
Presenter Pack List:
​

Fit Expo is super casual! Typically our presenters are dressed in workout attire or casual clothing. All presenters will have access to a Bluetooth speaker and will be provided with a windscreen for the microphone. 
  • Music for active sessions.
  • Your laptop and an HDMI adapter if you are presenting with slides. You will be provided with an HDMI cable.
