SOLINCA S-DAY BY NIGHT 4/10/24

So Solinca events are not parties, huh?! Setting aside the obvious fact that the word “party” was literally part of the decor, we spotted so many details that prove they know how to throw a sports party like nobody else!

Music? THE GOOD KIND! Dancing? Absolutely everywhere, to my DELIGHT! Drinks? The BEST of all! Food? Tasty, nutritious, and with actual guidance on what to eat before and after training! Fun? LOADS of it! Workout? Until you drop!

Carla Sanches and I were bold enough to hit 2 Solinca locations: Lagoas Park and Colombo. At the first, we did Body Step and Power Jump. At the second, Grit and Pump.

BODY STEP: André Godinho and the 2 incredible ladies, Cláudia Estrela and Marta Cavaco, were absolutely fantastic! So much energy, dancing, intense training, and an outstanding good mood. I already knew André, but those two instructors completely blew me away.

POWER JUMP: OMG! This gentleman called Pedro Bicó is EXTRAORDINARY! First of all… the man loves to dance… MAG-NI-FI-CENT! He is SO much fun, super playful, and in seriously impressive shape, because the ENERGY this man brings is just phenomenal! I finally got to meet the FAMOUS Bicó in person, and he absolutely lives up to his reputation as a top-tier reference. And of course, André Godinho, who I know so well by now, was impeccable as always, and visibly emotional about sharing the floor with instructors he admires so much.

BODY PUMP: I arrived at Colombo just in time for the classes and walked into a MAGNIFICENT scene! On stage were Hugo Fernandes, Igor Angélico and Pedro Pereiros. This trio is SPECTACULAR! The energy between the three of them is extraordinary, and the intense workout, well, I know that very well by now! The energy they still had at 8:50 at night! INCREDIBLE!

GRIT: And speaking of still having energy at that hour, Maria João Lopes and Rita Calaz were there delivering Grit. I walked into that room and found pure good vibes combined with powerful cues, ADMIRABLE endurance, and an intense workout. What a PHENOMENAL duo!

Carla and I absolutely LOVED the adventure, had SO much fun, trained hard (her more than me…), and we cannot wait for the next Solinca PARTIES!

Thank you SO much to EVERYONE! I was genuinely, deeply happy!
