Normally , fitness events try to address health concern such as
weight management or obesity. It is important to have a target
in mind in order to plan for a proper activity.

When having a health concern in mind, do your research and learn
the basic terminologies and aspects of that area. If the concern
is obesity, for example, learn or review about the concepts such
as eating habits, health risk factors, BMI (body mass index), and
so on.
3. Look for a location or venue.
One of the major physical concerns for any event or physical
activity is the venue. You will need to secure the right venue fir
the event. For fitness activities, courts, multipurpose halls,
swimming pools, function halls, or even streets and pedestrian
lanes, can be utilized for the activities. Just be sure to have
these venues reserved beforehand.
4. Build your team.
Identify members of your team. The team leader must delegate
tasks for efficiency and economy. For bigger events, some of
the team members may be assigned to be committee heads. You
can make a general grouping of committees such as – venues
and logistics, food and drinks, promotions and recruitment,
finance, registration, and so on.
