It’s safe to say that the Girlfriends have never been busier. Between juggling blogging with our NBA Moms, tweeting games, new, secret projects coming up, cheering on our favorite sports teams followed by mourning their losses, we’ve barely had time to catch our breath! After many months of hard work and planning though, we are excited to share with you our next endeavor that is sure to get your heart pumping (literally!).
Girlfriends Talk Sports and Gold’s Gym are partnering to bring the first ever Sports in the City Event to Downtown Phoenix CityScape during Women’s Health Week. On Friday, May 8th, the buzzing shopping complex will transform from an outdoor mall into an outdoor fitness extravaganza. Experts from all around the state are turning up to show their support and to help educate everyone on health and fitness.
There will be scheduled Zumba and yoga classes twice throughout the day, and GTS friend Michelle Rosado from FacetoFace Entertainment is coming to teach women a thing or two about boxing. Last year’s National League West Champions, our very own Arizona Diamondbacks, will be there to teach women all about baseball, while the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders will be teaching a brief dance seminar followed by a calendar signing. Even the Phoenix Mercury’s Hip Hop Squad will be there to put their own flare on a dance class.
While some will choose to take advantage of the physical aspect of fitness, others will have the opportunity to learn all about health, nutrition and beauty in their down time. The Arizona Department of Health Services will be on hand doing everything from taking blood pressure, measuring Body Mass Index to even teaching breast and skin cancer prevention. CityScape’s own Arrogant Butcher will be holding a healthy cooking seminar to teach everyone how to heat deliciously while also keeping it healthy. Our friend Alfonzo over at the fabulous Par Exsalonce will be freshening everyone up after a tough workout, doing everything from mani-pedis to hair washes and blowouts.
The event runs from 11 am to 3 pm with plenty to do for everyone. There will be food, drinks and most importantly plenty of fun and exciting activities for everyone to participate in. We hope to see you all there, and check out our flier below!
