Saturday
Despite a rainy, overcast weekend, the spirits were bright early Saturday morning as the long line formed outside of the conference room in eager anticipation to the start of ALL IN 2017. As the doors opened just after 9:30 A.M., FITTEAM made its presence known as they filed in, full of excitement and passion for what lie ahead.
Executive VP Sales Brent Niblo provided invaluable training during the morning session with the assistance of Triple Diamond Executives Erin Giguere and Julie Mlynarek.
Rank recognitions were followed by an inspiring, humorous, and musical performance by motivational speaker and country music star, Keni Thomas. Following his presentation, Thomas spent time taking photos and conversing with the FITTEAM Family.

Country music star Colt Ford surprised the audience as they regrouped in the room. Ford announced that he’d be playing several songs later that night, exclusively for FITTEAM.
The second half recognized the Diamond Executives, was recapped by lessons learned, and a big announcement regarding the future of FITTEAM events.
Chris Hummel, Founder & CEO, announced that the October quarterly event would not take place this year. Instead, December will host the FITTEAM Family in the home base of Palm Beach Gardens to take part in the first ever FITTEAM Palm Beaches Half-Marathon/5K Run.
“We’re really excited about December,” Hummel said. “We’re going to have about four to five thousand people.”
FITTEAM unveiled that the nation’s capital, Washington D.C. would be the location for the Family Reunion 2017 event in July.
Ford played an hour long set to wrap up the eventful day. He answered questions, took photos and showed true southern hospitality with those in attendance.
Saturday was not the only event-packed day as ALL IN 2017 got underway two nights earlier.

Friday
Coach Finch led the Brand Partners through an intense workout, rotating at different fitness stations for a full body meltdown. In the afternoon, Brand Partners began to line up outside the FITTEAM Apparel Store. They shopped through several new shirt designs, hats, visors, and other marketing tools.
The meet and greet packed the hotel restaurant with fellow members of FITTEAM as they caught up with their team, mingled with other members, and welcomed first-time attendees with open arms.
Conclusion
FITTEAM left it all on the table in the Music City.
“We expected great things,” VP Business Development Ryan Hummel said. “The event was incredible, made some changes, had some big announcements; it was a great time.”
