If you are a Christ-centered fitness or wellness professional or just interested in faith and fitness, then plan to attend the inaugural International Christian Wellness Conference (ICWC) September 12-15, 2013 in Phoenix, Arizona. The conference is focused on the theme Connect, Learn and Grow.
ICWC offers participants the opportunity to learn from Christian fitness and wellness experts, make connections, share experiences and challenges and grow in their relationship with God. The conference brings together a Vendor Expo, a diverse seminar schedule covering topics in nutrition, faith and fitness, exercise sessions, mentoring and fellowship opportunities, Christian worship services, as well as regional community building. Regional community building connects participants in the same geographical area, to create a stronger regional support network when the conference comes to an end.

Davis, The ReFit girls (Angela Beeler, Catherine Bower and Emily Field), Lynn Rogala, Rachel Bergman, Nikol Major, Christina Mroz, Jonnie Goodmanson, Lisa Souba, Megan Burns, Amy Turner, Jill Fisk and Luke Connor.

Additionally, the conference meets the needs of personal trainers and instructors by providing the following:

 

– AFAA continuing education credits of at least .75 CEs will be offered for all of our sessions. Lectures will offer 1.5 AFAA CEs. – ACE has approved ICWC for continuing education credits. Attendees will receive .9 CEU’s for the conference regardless of what session they choose within each time slot. – Yoga Alliance (YA) credits will also be offered for select sessions.
