We hope to see you April 25th and 26th at the Miami Beach Convention Center for this year’s largest Health & Fitness Expo in South Florida! The Health & Fitness Expo takes place at The Miami Beach Convention Center in the Main Hall. Doors open at 10 AM.

Last year, The Fourth Annual NBC 6-Telemundo 51 Health & Fitness Expo was the best ever! Over 50,00 attendees took advantage of free health screenings and testing, enjoyed healthy food and drink samples, watched dancing performances from ballroom to Zumba, met NBC Biggest Loser finalists, received greetings and autographs from their favorite NBC 6 and Telemundo 51 anchors and reporters, observed aquatic exercises, won free trips, almost won $10,000 at the simulated golf hole-in-one contest, learned how to help save the environment and even how to be more financially fit!

Parents and grandparents enjoyed all of these wonderful health-related and lifestyle activities, while their children and grandchildren were entertained with arts and crafts, kayaking lessons, reaching the top of the rock climbing wall and giant slide, trying their arm at the Florida Marlins fast pitch machine, getting exercise in the moon bounce, and their favorite, being a guest meteorologist at the McDonalds Weather Wall! There was something for everyone at The NBC 6 Telemundo 51 Health And Fitness Expo!

A big 'Thank You' to all of our participating sponsors who made the Expo experience come alive with medical testing and interactive events: Good Neighbor Pharmacy who offered the largest variety of both free tests, and others testing at a special price, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida whose “Power of the Human Voice” Van was amazing, the National Kidney Foundation of Florida & Amgen who continues to support our Expo in South Florida and other NBC markets, Catholic Health Services for bringing us the Aquatic Center exercise demonstrations, Goya who sponsored the Healthy Cooking Stage where the food sampling was delicious, Vino San Pedro “Wines of Chile” for providing all the healthy benefits of wine and many, many more Expo partners who helped make the Expo enjoyable for all who attended.
