An ULTRA Weekend of Fitness and Fun in Arizona

September 25, 2018 By Melanie No Comments

Oh my goodness, where do I even begin? If you’ve been following along on my Instagram I’m sure you’re well aware that I spent the past weekend in Scottsdale, Arizona participating in Michelob Ultra’s first ULTRA Fit Fest event. This festival (think Adult summer camp meets wellness retreat) took place at the most beautiful resort, the JW Marriott Camelback Inn. The grounds were immaculately kept with various types of cacti, flowers, trees and even little babbling brooks peppered throughout. Instead of a traditional hotel style, the rooms were scattered about in these beautiful, adobe-esque houses. Mountains could be seen from every direction of the resort and Native American inspired decor, teepees, and statues were placed  in various areas of the complex. Oh and the pool!! Let’s just say it was my favorite part, especially because of the giant pool party that was held on Saturday. I think I’m getting ahead of myself…  

Let’s get down to the good stuff. A little breakdown of what I did each day and hopefully what you all can expect during next year’s ULTRA Fit Fest! 

DAY 1 

Arrival: My flight landed around 1pm PST and after checking in, I changed into my workout clothes and explored the resort. Most of the workouts were located within the main conference center within various ballrooms but City Surf was set up with all their surfboards outside and the ULTRA Oasis (a little recovery area with a braid bar + facials) was in a separate small building. It wasn’t long after exploring that I was able to bring my things to my room and head to the first workout. 

Workout: Dogpound. Admittedly, I only stayed for half of this HIIT workout that consisted mostly of planks, squats, lunges, burpees, high knees, and the like. I was trying to conserve some energy for what I knew would be an exhausting Saturday. If you’re in NYC and looking for a super tough workout I definitely recommend checking out their studio. I went once for an event with Dressbarn and Ashley Graham (strange combo I know) and it really kicked my ass. 

Dinner: As a way to kick off the festivities they served up a huge barbecue and salad bar with lots of complimentary beers. I loaded up on veggies and some cornbread and treated myself to a delicious peach cobbler a la mode for dessert. I think everyone went a little easy on the drinking since the first workouts started at 8am the next morning. After dinner, a few friends and I went to the pool to chat for a bit and then in true grandma fashion, I was in bed by 9:30pm. 

DAY 2 

Sunrise Shoot: Since my body was still pleasantly on  New York time, I woke up bright eyed and ready for the day at 5:30am. This was perfect because a few of us wanted to get together prior to breakfast and snap some pics in the beautiful morning light. As you can see, the Arizona sunrise was quite breathtaking. 

Breakfast: Since breakfast started at 7am and I had signed up for two back to back workouts from 8-10am I knew I couldn’t fill my belly too much and risk getting sick. Thankfully, Michelob Ultra came through with the perfect light breakfast buffet complete with mini avocado toasts, various fruit, coffee, yogurt and little protein pancakes. It was the perfect way to kick off the day! 

Workouts: The first workout was Meagan Roup’s Sculpt Society class — a mix of cardio and, well, “sculpting” work that really targets the glutes and legs. I’ve taken her class before at Bandier’s Studio B and definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a low intensity workout with big results. This class included sliders and lots of repetitive leg lifts that had me dying but in the best way.

Immediately following was Vixen Workout, a cardio dance style class. I’m a huge fan of 305 Fitness so I figured I would like this one… and I let me tell you, I was right. Led by Vixen’s founder, Janet Jones (a former Miami Heats dancer), it was probably one of the most fun classes I’ve ever taken! She had such an amazing presence and everyone had huge smiles on their faces as we pop, locked, dropped, twerked, shimmied, and shook our way around the room. I was feeling so energized by the end of the double workout that I was actually kind of sad my next workout wasn’t until later. Pool Party: Since I had a nice break until the next activity, I decided to head to the pool before lunch was served. It was such a brutally hot day so hanging out in the cool water, sipping on a beer, and following that up with a light middle eastern inspired lunch (lots of hummus, pita and tabbouleh), felt SO amazing. There were even giant gold swans and other pool floaties for our use, which you know I had to take advantage of. 

Meditation + Yoga: Once the pool party wrapped up it was time to change back into a fresh workout outfit and head to a 30 minute meditation with MNDFL. If you’re based in NYC and are looking for a meditation studio, MNDFL has multiple locations with over 40 teachers who all come from different meditation backgrounds. The one we happened to practice at the fit fest was mindfulness and kindness meditation. Two types that I think go really well together and had me feeling super zen by the end.

Shortly after I went to a y7 yoga class. If you’re new to y7 they’re a cult favorite and have 9 studios in the city. The real deal offers up yoga in a dark, heated room with plenty of candles and no mirrors. Each sequence is taught 3 times, once slowly, then one breath one movement, and finally a “flow on your own” period where they crank up music from Drake, Lil Wayne, etc. and you’re free to do the sequence at your own pace and in your own style. After such a long day ending the workouts with yoga was exactly what I needed. It felt amazing. 

Evening Entertainment + Dinner: I had about an hour to quickly shower, change and head to the happy hour. We were all ushered into a room for a quick performance by Kali Uchis (don’t worry, I didn’t know who she was either) before being ushered back out for dinner. At this point we were all starvin’ so I loaded up my plate with every pescetarian friendly option I could find.

There were definitely so many people partying it up afterwards! I even heard some people went out to Old Town and didn’t get back until 5am, but I was exhausted and was back in my room with a face mask and sweatpants on at 9pm.  

DAY 3

Closing Ceremony: I woke up to watch the sunrise one last time and then headed to breakfast where “grab n go” style grub was waiting. I decided to skip the yoga class I originally signed up for and just savor my breakfast for awhile. Around 9am I met up with everyone on the big lawn for a beautiful sound bath (a healing meditation experience involving singing bowls, drums, small gongs, etc.). Once that was over there was a brief closing ceremony with prizes, last announcements and even a beautiful Navajo blessing. Then it was time to pack up and head home! Although I did have a few hours to spare and sit by the pool before going to the airport. 🙂 Overall, this was such a fun experience and it has me itching to sign up for a full week long wellness retreat. Obviously with the wedding coming up I should be good and not do something crazy like that but I’m making it a goal to go on one before the end of 2019. Maybe it’ll be a fun way to celebrate my 30th birthday? 

Anyway, I should say bye for now because I have another post I’m writing up for ya’ll that I’ll be releasing this week. Stay tuned!

It is up to us to make our lives beautiful 🌸

The small joys are found in the mundane mornings, the unexpected laughter, the people who feel like sunshine 

The beauty of life is not that it’s perfect. It’s that every day you wake up with a new opportunity to grow, heal, love and find gratitude through it all 💕🦋

Let me introduce the easiest, most whimsical fairy garden cupcakes (aka lemon blueberry 🫐🍋) that are perfect for your next summer gathering 

I told you all that I’m trying to channel more of the “Martha Stewart Summer” vibes this season — taking things slower, enjoying moments in my garden, hosting friends and leaning into cozy hobbies like baking 

I admittedly am not a baker, so this recipe was the perfect blend of “semi-homemade” and turned out so yummy and beautiful 🌸🦋! I jazzed up a box of white cake mix with lemon zest & juice before whipping up a homemade cream cheese frosting and topping with edible flowers & butterfly wafers 

If you want to make them for yourself just comment “FAIRY” and I’ll send you a link with the recipe I referred too! ✨

I’m on a journey to find joy in movement again because ever since having a baby, I’ve been looking at working out as something I “have” to do instead of something I “enjoy” doing… and that mindset has put in me in quite a rut. Not to mention your girl is TIRED over here 😅 

So from here on out, I’m committing to romanticizing my workout routine. Because sometimes the little joys can be found in the small things like:

✨putting on a cute matching set 
✨making a fancy electrolyte drink in an obnoxiously sized tumbler 
✨putting on a fun playlist to get hyped before the class 
✨treating yourself to a silly little coffee drink after 

And truly after the whole workout routine is over, even if I don’t feel as strong in a reformer Pilates class as I did pre-pregnancy, I always feel extra proud that I made the time for myself. 👏🏻

I read a quote that said “𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳, 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦’𝘴 𝘢 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 30 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘳 2025” 

And wow does that help put things into perspective right? 

If you’re looking for ways to spend less time scrolling and more time living — here are 10 activities to help romanticize all the joy that summer time has to offer 

✨Take an outdoor yoga class 
✨Have a picnic with friends 
✨Create a (physical) summer vision board 
✨Plan a beach or lake day 
✨Host friends for a backyard bbq 
✨Read a romance novel by the pool 
✨Peruse the farmers market 
✨Do something you loved to do as a kid 
✨Go for sunset walks or hikes in nature 
✨Treat yourself to ice cream or s’mores 

The good old days are happening right now, so let’s make it a summer goal to be so in the moment that we forget to check our phones 💕

Sharing a different kind of #SelfCare Session with you all because it seriously did wonders for my self confidence and I am here to spill the tea!! 💛

I felt like pregnancy and postpartum aged me so quickly and the stress + lack of sleep + inflammation definitely manifested in the skin on my face looking ROUGH. I was seeing more fine lines, sun spots, redness and enlarged pores than ever before (that second photo has me feeling so exposed 🙈)

So when @laseredbykaitlyn reached out to tell me about Moxi and BBL laser treatments, I was immediately interested. I had heard great things about them before and although I was a bit skeptical at first, I knew it was worth a try 

Swipe through to see the whole journey from two sessions at @alluvionaesthetics — one round of just Moxi and one round of Moxi & BBL together. 

I am sooo beyond happy with the results and my skin looks so much healthier, younger and refreshed! I wanted to share with you all in case any of you are struggling with similar skin issues 💛✨

Let me know if you have any q’s!

I honestly can’t think of a more fun way to spend my birthday eve than eating yummy food, sipping on limoncello spritzes, singing and dancing with my girl friends 🎶. I woke up feeling so loved and incredibly grateful for all the beautiful people in my life

And I don’t know about you but it’s exactly what I need more of in this season of life ☀️ 

Through the rest of the summer I’ll be sharing different activities, ideas and moments that hopefully inspire you to slow down and appreciate the whimsy and nostalgia of summertime 

Obviously had to kick it off with a little ASMR morning in our little garden buuut you can expect tips, tutorials, recipes and inspo coming soon 🌿
