Heart rates will be taken down a little bit when attendees make their way to The Yoga Den where there will be yoga sessions taking place throughout the day with Shanti Yoga, Kali Collective and Ashtanga Yoga.

Choice of Food and Cooking Demos

Refuelling between sessions will never have been easier with two food stations, including food from Wee Guy’s Pop Up Café, and a Juice Bar leaving visitors spoiled for choice with delicious and nutritious food and drink on offer.

There will also be live cooking demonstrations from AVO AVO, Stellar Health, Chefarella, Simply Simon and Your Health Angel, who will all be showcasing mouth-watering, tasty and nutritious recipes.

With more activities and partners due to be announced in the coming weeks, the one day festival is set to be an action packed day of fitness fun.

Founder of Sweat It Festival, Emma Lynch, said: “I really can’t wait to bring this boutique health and fitness festival to Glasgow, the fact that it will be the first of its kind in Scotland is really exciting. We want people to come and try as much as they can across the day, one ticket will get you access to all of the activities so once you have paid your entry fee everything is free to book. We really want to see people sweat, try new things and just have a great, healthy day out! I know how important my own health is to my happiness and I really wanted to showcase under one roof the wealth of fitness activities we have available to us here in Glasgow. There really is something for everyone!”
