(Updated July 2019)
Hi All,
For the last few years I have put together a post to detail some of the top conventions in the UK fitness calendar. This post has proved to be so popular that I have decided to put together another one for some of the massive fitness events that are going on over the next 12 months. As with last year I will be attending a number of them so give me a shout if you will be too!
21st – 22nd September 2019 – SFN Expo
This is one of the newer events in the fitness calendar, that has been growing steady over the last few years. 2018 promises to be a great event especially for those in Scotland as it is right on your doorstep! The event has some great names already confirmed and looks to be a great couple of days with seminars, demos and a wide range of stalls!

Hello. I have checked your tomgodwin.co.uk and i see you’ve
got some duplicate content so probably it is the reason that you don’t rank high in google.
But you can fix this issue fast. There is a tool that generates content like human, just
search in google: miftolo’s tools
Wow, this paragraph is nice, my younger sister is analyzing
such things, thus I am going to tell her.
