A second edition of Mypersonaltrainer days with big numbers: more than 10,000 participants, 20 partners and 50 guests for more than 500 activities
Mypersonaltrainer Days, the event sponsored by the City of Milan dedicated to fitness, wellness and sports, organised by Mypersonaltrainer, a Mondadori Group brand leader in health and wellness, which was attended by over 10,000 visitors in only two days, has once again proven to be a great success.
A weekend with 500 free events, from the most innovative open-air workouts to talks to medical consultations, more than 50 guests and 20 partners, in an area of more than 1,500 square metres in the heart of Milan.
The MYPT Urban Walk, the charity sports walk to benefit the Fondazione Italiana Diabete (Italian Diabetes Foundation) – with 1,500 registered participants – was met with praise, as well as the medical consultations done in collaboration with the Centro Diagnostico Italiano (Italian Diagnostic Center), which were sold out in only a few hours.
The local event has enabled the brand to strengthen and expand its offerings, where it already reaches 13 million unique users each month and over 3 million followers on social media.
On Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 September the stage of the Mypersonaltrainer Days at the Dazio di Levante of the Arco della Pace in Milan was used for talks with major personalities and athletes who talked about the importance of sport and physical exercise for a healthy, balanced life. Guests included former soccer player Claudio Marchisio and Mattia Zenzola, the dancer who won Amici 22, psychiatrist and psychotherapist Raffaele Morelli, volleyball champion Cristina Chirichella, Nicola Macchione, andrologist and urologist, author and coach Daniele Di Benedetti and Sara Farnetti, an internal medicine specialist.
All the workout classes at the foot of the Arco della Pace were packed, and the most popular were Wake Up Yoga classes with Yoga Essential, the Super Jump and Fluid Silent Fitness classes with Jill Cooper, and Train with a Smile by Nicolò Famiglietti (of Power Talent Agency). There was major turnout on the sports fields, especially for Pickleball, Acrovolley, and Freeclimbing.
The results of the initiative
The great public success was combined with the excellent results that Mypersonaltrainer Days recorded on social media, with more than 10 million people reached on the Facebook and Instagram pages, thanks also to the involvement of top fitfluencers.
These numbers are the result of stories, posts, articles and interviews exclusively prepared by Mypersonaltrainer’s editorial, social and filming team being shared. It was a winning formula that contributed to yet another great result: a media impact of more than 40 million contacts, thanks to talking about the event on all of the brand’s touchpoints, an advertising campaign planned for the social networks, the website, press and radio, DOOH, plus spontaneous, high-impact media coverage.
The campaign, that aimed for participation, was very effective, thanks to strategic digital advertising carried out with conversational marketing by Hej! and proximity marketing by AdKaora.
