Faces of Fitness is expanding beyond Chicago for the first time, bringing its unique combination of music, fitness and wellness to Miami this fall. The inaugural Miami edition will feature Dutch dance music star Sam Feldt alongside NBA legend Dwyane Wade.
Presented by CELSIUS, Faces of Fitness has spent the past five years building a community around health, movement and music in Chicago. The festival describes itself as “Lollapalooza… but for fitness, health and wellness,” and its Miami debut aims to bring that concept to a new audience.
Feldt, who headlined the Chicago edition last year, will return to the festival for multiple “Music to the Mat” sessions. The experience will combine his uplifting electronic music with bodyweight strength workouts led by Peloton instructors Tunde Oyeneyin, Camila Ramón and Rad Lopez.
“His presence, his energy, his performance paired with Peloton and Sweat Session Studio creates a fully immersive experience for our attendees at the intersection of music and sweat,” said festival co-founder David Grass.
Miami native Dwyane Wade, a Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame member, will also play a major role in the event, hosting a series of warm-up experiences ahead of the festival.
Feldt said he is excited to bring the concept to Miami, describing the event as a place where music and movement come together in a completely different festival environment.
“11am is the new 11pm, my type of festival,” Feldt said. “Chicago was epic, Miami here we come.”
With one of dance music’s most recognizable names and one of basketball’s biggest legends leading the lineup, Faces of Fitness Miami is set to offer a very different kind of festival experience this fall.
