Olympia Inside Scoop

What’s up Rivalus Family?

Excited to share my experience I had with the Rivalus Team at the 2017 Mr. Olympia Expo with you all. First off, it was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve had for my first fitness expo ever!  From the first night in meeting the Olympians, to team dinners and being behind the scenes all weekend working one of the booths. This Rivalus team is filled with incredible people and I could not be happier with being a part of the team!

To start things off, if you’re ever planning on going to the Olympia expo as a fan, it is 100% worth it to get the all access VIP weekend ticket pass. This gives you the ability to enter the fitness expo 2 hours before general admission and go to any and every booth that you wish to go to. Short lines, all access to people you want to see up close and personal and a bunch of free products to try. And who in their right mind doesn’t like free product? Also, be sure to come by the rivalus booth because we gave away a bag of free samples, glasses, funnels, chap stick, as well as a free shirt. In my own opinion, that’s not biased at all, we definitely had the best booth in the entire expo. But don’t take my word for it, just be prepared for an hour wait to get your stuff.

Working the entire weekend has its perks. First off, going to a team dinner with everyone is always a great time. Getting to know everyone outside of a work environment is always a plus because there is no stress to get anything done and we can all just relax and enjoy each other’s company. Also of course, there is the possibility of free food! Next perk was definitely getting to see the Mr. Olympia show. Being four rows back next to the stage might help just a tad as well. Actually being able to see men and women in their tip top shape was unbelievable. The hard work and dedication to get to the level they are at is truly a gift. Seeing everything come together for them and how emotional everyone gets on stage really gives you the motivation to get in the gym and push a little harder than you’re used to.

I could not say one thing bad about the entire weekend at all besides the fact that the crowd each day was insanely huge. But, if you’re willing to pay a little extra, you won’t have to be a part of it. I’m truly blessed to have been a part of this event and only hope to continue to do a great job in promoting our incredible product to allow me to be a part of it next year!

Until next time Rivalus family
