Fitness influencer Ishmael Sandiford brought his Fit-X Experience Tour to Richmond Raceway, drawing more than 150 people for a community workout party featuring 9 trainers and a live DJ
Richmond Raceway traded pit crews for personal trainers Saturday as more than 150 people gathered for the Fit-X Experience Tour, a DJ-driven fitness event created by VCU graduate and viral fitness influencer Ishmael Sandiford.
Sandiford, known online as The Black Superman, went viral last year for his fitness advice and has since made it his mission to make working out fun, welcoming and accessible through music and coaching.
The event featured a live DJ, nine trainers, and a full range of workouts including calisthenics, jump rope and martial arts.
Sandiford said his passion for fitness started early.
"I've been in fitness my whole life since the age of eight, watching my father work out," Sandiford said. "I wanted to be like him, so I worked out hard."
