Jump Into Fitness!

Did you stop by our Jump Into Fitness event last week at LA Fitness? We had a great time and raffled off some great goodies including a yoga starter kit from LuLuLemon! We even met some new friends including Sal Fucito from Fat on Fire! If you haven't had a chance to hear Sal's story, please take a chance to listen and be inspired. A firefighter who is taking his life back one pound at a time, no crazy fad diets and no surgeries. Truly motivational, check it out and tell him Cincy Local sent ya!

In the meantime, enjoy some pictures from our Jump Into Fitness event. We hope to see you July 31st for our Get Fit! From the Inside-Out event. Register now to reserve your free swag bag! See you soon!

Because you asked...

I know a lot of businesses say, "We want to hear from you," and "Your feedback is valuable," but Cincy Local is different. No, really, hear me out. The fact is we really do want to hear from you and your input really is important! Most of our events are done at the request or suggestion of one of our friends! 

Occasionally, we ask our friends what they want to see and they responded with a variety of answers. Some of which we're currently working on right now.

One of Facebook friend's emailed us and said he would like to see more events promoting a healthy lifestyle and asked if we would be able to compete with all the McDonald's chains popping up everywhere. We have a lot of great events planned through LA Fitness planned to support Health and Wellness and provide a lot of information and resources in regards to your overall health. Sadly, we cannot host these events in the McDonald's drive-thru so you'll have to just say, no.

We received a suggestion to host a large yard sale event, similar to the massive one's you tend to hear about on the radio. We took that suggestion and enhanced upon it. Typically garage sales will run through the summer and die out at the end of August and everyone will put the stuff back into their garage's for next year. Not this year! We will be hosting a huge comm

unity yard sale at the end of the summer, August 23rd, and we want you to come out and sell the last of your stuff. Everything that isn't sold has the option to be donated so you don't have to take anything home! Just email us to hold your spot or reserve it here. (No vendors please)


We want to offer some family-friendly options for summer activity so we will also be holding and End of Summer Bash on August 23rd. We're still working out all the details but I know it will be fun! 

We were contacted by one of our friends and asked if we would do a fundraiser for the troops. Our response? Of course!!! We're in the planning stages of a great comedy show/benefit for the troops so mark your calendars for August 30th and stay tuned!

We even sponsored an adult kickball league taking place at CCAA, Inc. this summer. Stop on our to support the team if you'd like. Games start Saturday evening, June 28th!

We've turned it into a busy summer! 

We really do consider all of our requests and suggestions. We aim to support local businesses/non-profits so if you have an event idea or request please let us know. In our partnership with Bella Vi, we can make just about anything happen. Please feel free to email us with your ideas and suggestions. We love them!

Health and Wellness Event with LA Fitness

Hey friends! Sorry it's been a while since our last post, as you may know, we've been busy! 
Thank you to everyone that participated and attended the Health and Wellness Event at LA Fitness on May 29th. 
This event featured a variety of local vendors and a portion of our event proceeds went to benefit The FAD. If you haven't yet, please check out some of the great things their getting involved in to help local youth.



I'd also like to announce that LA Fitness-Kenwood has requested that we provide an entire Healthy Summer Series! This means we will host events in June, July and August! Be on the lookout via Facebook, Eventbrite, and Twitter for event details. Our next event will be Jump Into Fitness scheduled June 26th.

We didn't forget!

Did you think we forgot about you?! NEVER! We've been working hard brainstorming and getting feedback to make sure that we offer exactly what you would expect! Well, the good news is ...we're so close! 

Let me tell you what we've been doing. We've been planning and networking to try to find as many connections as we can to offer to our preferred members to help them stay at the top of their games, working in coordination with printers, marketers, event planners, videographers, photographers and more to get our members quality, discounted services. 

We've also been crunching the numbers to find out how we can offer all of the events and marketing we can while making it affordable for the small locally owned businesses in the Tri-State. Local businesses will be able to sign their membership agreements as early as next week!

We have also planned a series of events including a Wellness Expo and a Summer Bash that will bring business and community together! Other events in the works are of course our 2nd annual Shopapalooza and other holiday events as well as networking events and social mixers!! 

That's right ladies and gents, we are on a roll!!! 

We're still accepting referrals for our preferred member's listing as well as parties interested in advertising or sponsorship. Get more information by e-mailing us at contactcincylocal@gmail.com

We can't wait to start unveiling all of the great stuff we have planned and we truly hope you'll stick with us while we do :)

Bella Vi

If you haven't noticed before but we are very open about our partnerships and the relationships that we develop. I know I've plugged them before and I'll do it again  because when I develop a quality relationship I am appreciative and I will share with the world.

One of those relationships came with a company known as Bella Vi, Marketing, Events and Promotions.

http://www.bellavimep.com/

This team of girls, better known as, "The Bellas," works one on one with each of their clients to listen and understand your dreams and all that you want to achieve. Whether it be starting a business or planning an event they should be your first call. They're energy and passion will be close enough to your own you'll forget you hired them and begin to think of them as a truly valuable partnership the same way that we have. 

Seriously, they've built our entire website on such short notice and have been amazing, although, I'm not sure they sleep. They're dedicated to each client and their visions and work to make them real. We'll also be using them to plan our future events, so watch out because you'll be seeing those pop up soon. Bella Vi has a variety of connections around the area as well so we've met a lot of great contacts and a few valuable partnerships.

Please check out Bella Vi and give their FACEBOOK PAGE a "LIKE"make sure you tell them that Cincy Local sent ya!!! We love the Bella's!

Opportunity is knocking

I love being able to give opportunity to those that truly deserve it. Those that work a little bit harder every day to put food on the table and pursue their passion. 

We recently offered the opportunity to local business owners and vendors to participate in our First Annual Black Friday Weekend Shopapalooza Online Event! 

This is an online event to shop with only local businesses. Sure, it may not seem like much to some but we've got big plans. I can't wait to continue to reward them throughout 2014 simply for having faith in our vision. Check out some of the great vendors that signed up during our 2 week promotion.  Please stop by and support our neighbors!

Love from Fenno!

So I'm going to brag for just a minute... has anyone met Megan Fenno? Well, she's the owner of Fenno Fashion!!

Not only is she a designer but she also does a lot of TV and radio work along with her blogging. Plus, she's a huge Cincinnati fan!

(Get to the point right?) Okay! I'm getting there! I just have to take a moment to tell you all about this amazing, talented and inspiring woman. 

As if that's not enough, on top of all those wonderful qualities, she's also very supportive and interested in the success of Cincy Local! How great is that?! Pretty great! 

Stop by her blog and check it out! We just started November 11,2013, so here we are, 11 days old and she blogged about us! (Made me blush)

We loved Fenno before and then she went and did this! 

Can't wait to get together and do big things together in the future!
