ECA World Fitness Convention, is an international organization and association representing the wellness and fitness community.

Both gym members and fitness professionals can attend this convention.  I know quite a few dance members going to ECA for the amazing workshops taught by some of the fitness industries leading dance instructors like Tony Stone and Calvin Wiley.

As a group fitness instructor I have attended ECA a couple of years ago, and now its exhausting, but oh-so-fun!  It’s a whirlwind of awesome fitness workshops throughout the day, and by the end of the weekend you are completely wiped.

In my preparation for five workshops a day – I have made a Trader Joe stock pile.  Why?  Because there’s not really time to eat in between workshop sessions, and anything in the hotel will by mucho caro (very expensive)!  So here is a list of my healthy snacks to hold me over and keep me fueled throughout the intense weekend from Trader Joe’s.

• multi-grain bagels
• almond butter
• fiberful bars
• flaxseed tortilla chips
• powerberries
• greek yogurt
• wasabi almonds
• trail mix
• Zico water
• honey wheat pretzels
• blueberry muesli
