#FITGIRLCODE at Kayla Itsines Bootcamp by Glamour Health Challenge

Fit & Training door thijs

A much anticipated event on many Fit Girls' calenders this summer, Kayla Itsines arrived in Amsterdam this weekend to whip everyone into shape and kick off the Glamour Health Challenge. The sun was shining and excitement high, for a day filled with girl power, #sweatyselfies, workout fashion, and power food. We had the pleasure of representing #FITGIRLCODE at this event and we got the chance to meet some of the awesome fit girls out there!

The gates opened at 11am and the first of the Fit Girls arrived. Clutching their yoga mats, wearing their best workout clothes, they headed straight to the front of the stage! Organised by Glamour NL and sponsored by clothing outlet Zalando, the Health Challenge started on Saturday the 6th of June in Amsterdam with a bootcamp event featuring Kayla Itsines. In case you haven't already heard, her Bikini Body Guide and Healthy Eating Plan e-books have become the manifestos for "Kayla's army": the group of women who thank her for helping them to change their lifestyle and body. Although Kayla was the main attraction, the girls who took part of in the workout were the stars of the day! That workout looked tough and they were still smiling at the end!

When it comes to being a Fit Girl, there are three passions involved in that package; working out, workout clothes and food! This event had all of this to offer with three fashion shows for every kind of Fit Girl presented by Zalando - "we ♥ yoga", "we ♥ running" and "we ♥  fitness". Amongst the models walking on the runway and performing a dance on stage to showcase the clothes, were fitness bloggers from around The Netherlands; including of course #FITGIRLCODE founder, Aranka van der Voorden. These lucky ladies got the 'best spot' of being right up front for Kayla's workout - or not so lucky because she definitely made sure that no one was slacking!

And because pre and post workout food is so very important, the food for sale provided the perfect fuel and reward for a good workout. There were power packed foods including protein smoothies, quinoa burgers and fresh coconut water and even gluten free and vegan baked goodies for every fit girl to enjoy a treat! Our stand could be found between the Glamour healthy kitchen cafe and some of the latest health brands. There you could find products such as double use coconut oil (you could use it for cooking or as moisturiser on your skin) to prepared healthy meal subscriptions. At our stand we got the chance to meet and talk to some of you awesome girls while letting you see our latest products up close and personal.

We want to say a huge well done and thanks for having us! We loved seeing you proudly sporting your Jogha gear and rocking that workout in style!

Here come the girls
