Do you love SparkPeople? Would you love the opportunity to meet up with your online SparkFriends in real life or meet our Coaches in person? Are you looking for extra motivation to adhere to your healthy lifestyle or a fun way to jump-start your nutrition or fitness program? Then we have some news for YOU!
The first-ever SparkPeople "Spark Your Life" Convention will take place this May in San Diego, California! We know how much SparkPeople.com helps people reach their goals, find support, and improve their lives, so we wanted to bring the site to life during this special event—and we want YOU to be there!
If you're not convinced, here are the top 10 reasons you should register for the Spark Your Life Convention today!
- Be a part of Spark History! This Convention is a SparkPeople first. Sure, there might be more in the future, but wouldn't you love to say that you were part of the exclusive group of people who attended the first one?
- Work out with Coach Nicole. What more reason do you need? OK, all jokes aside, if you're a fan of my workout videos, then you'll love to be a part of my Convention workout sessions, which will take place behind the San Diego Convention Center, which is right on the beach! Talk about a fun way to work out! Resident Expert Nancy will be there, too, to lead you in an optional outdoor run and answer your questions!
- You deserve it. Why not plan your annual vacation in San Diego this May and make the Spark Your Life Convention one of many you-deserve-it treats during your trip? When you work hard to earn an income, provide for others, and take care of everyone else's needs, sometimes you need to put yourself first for once. This Convention may be just the ticket you need—people coming together for a common goal that matters to you. Bring the family—or your best buds. Better yet, schedule some alone time and make it a weekend where you do exactly what you want to do!
- Invest in your health. You already pay for healthier foods and a gym membership, for example. These expenses help you keep health a priority and save you money in the long run by cutting your health care costs. Think of the Convention as an investment in your health—one that will keep on giving. Sure, you could spend that $49.99 registration fee on a new purse or pair of jeans, but why not spend it on something that will keep on giving back long after your newest fashion accessory goes out of style.
- Take a vacation where you DON'T gain weight! Do you go overboard on food and take it easy on the fitness when you go on vacation, only to come home and discover that your pants are tighter? When you plan a trip around the SparkPeople Convention, we make it easy for you to exercise (with multiple workout options throughout the day), stay motivated (the whole day is about motivation!), and eat better (when you're with your SparkFriends who can help you stay on track).
- Meet the coaches. The experts who write the articles, answer your questions, and help you reach your goals will be there, too! See what we're really like in "real life" (you know that you're dying to know) and utilize opportunities to get expert answers to YOUR questions in person! Hey, we'll even make some cameos in your photos that day and we may even give out a few autographs (if you ask nicely)!
- Get an exclusive SparkPeople T-shirt. Only attendees of the first-ever Spark Your Life Convention will receive a specially designed T-shirt that you can't get anywhere else. Not only will you be able to remember the good times you had each time you open your T-shirt drawer, but you'll be part of an exclusive group of people who own the shirt that commemorates the event!
- Feed your SparkPoints addiction. Do you love racking up SparkPoints on the site? So do we! When you attend the Spark Your Life Convention, you'll be able to spin a real-life SparkPoints wheel (complete with prize options!) at the event—talk about fun! Plus, all day long you'll earn SparkPoints for the activities you do during the Convention—and you'll be able to add all of these Points to your SparkPeople.com account!
- Thank SparkGuy in person. Chris "SparkGuy" Downie, the founder and CEO of SparkPeople.com, is the keynote and closing speaker at the Convention. He'll be there all day long to talk to members, answer questions and more. If SparkPeople's amazing free resources have helped you reach your goals, attending the Spark Your Life Convention is a chance for you to give back and show your thanks to SparkPeople and SparkGuy for making it all possible.
- Recommit to your healthy lifestyle. If your motivation is waning, this Convention is a chance for you to relax, regroup, and recommit to your healthy lifestyle program. You'll hear inspiring stories and techniques from members who lost weight and kept if off; learn more about your eating behaviors (and how to improve them) with a presentation by Dietitian Becky, and so much more.

- Bonus Reason: Get exclusive previews of SparkPeople's forthcoming book, The Spark! All Convention attendees will receive an invitation to join a private SparkTeam led by Chris “SparkGuy” Downie, author of The Spark! You’ll get weekly notes and challenges from Chris, sneak previews of the book, and an opportunity to "test pilot" the 12-week program in the book almost a year before it publishes! Only available to convention attendees, don’t miss this exclusive opportunity!
