The second annual Health and Fitness Expo is a free event that aims to highlight the best options Carmel Valley and Del Mar area residents have for creating and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Joe Gold (president of The Training Club), Jim Someck (founder of Jimbo’s... Naturally!) and Bob Rauch (owner of the Serenity Spa and Salon at the Hilton Campus San Diego) will present the latest research and techniques of comprehensive well-being at the Carmel Valley Health and Fitness Expo.

The Expo is January 22, and will be held at the Hilton Garden Inn, San Diego/Del Mar (10 a.m. – 2 p.m.).

The organizers say they want to give attendees more tools to achieve their health and fitness goals. “We have so many presenters representing so many areas of interest to health conscious individuals,” said Gold. “I’m sure they will spark new ideas on how to stay fit and healthy for the new year.”

Bob Rauch said: “I hope we can remind as many people as possible that improving our own health will benefit our families as well. We can only provide support for our families if we remain or get healthy. This event makes it very easy to take that first step or advance to that next level."

Jimbo’s…Naturally! will offer healthy recipes and samples for guests to gather ideas of ways to improve their diets.

On the fitness front, Joe Gold and other trainers from Carmel Valley’s The Training Club will offer tips on everything from anti-aging techniques and medicine, to training trends and injury prevention.

Other vendors—including Energenex, J. Hillburn, Fitness Revolution, and YogaWorkout—will provide samples and information to start the new year on the right track. Attendees will also have an opportunity to win prizes. For more information: www.carmelvalleyfitexpo.com.
