Fitness at Fest tickets are necessary in order to participate and cost $15. Proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to the CMA Foundation, which supports music education across the country. Attendees will be given RAIN water, as well as CELSIUS swag that includes mats, towels, bags and a complimentary cold can of CELSIUS. These events will take place rain or shine. However, if it rains, the event will be moved to an indoor location. Guests should dress in proper workout attire. Space is limited for each event, so if you plan to attend you will need to reserve a spot here. Saturday’s Fitness at Fest event is sold out, but you can join the waiting list or sign up for Friday’s event.
