We’re Celebrating 8 Million Strong — Here’s What To Expect At Our Event
We reached the 8 million milestone and so we knew we had to do something big to mark the occasion.
We couldn’t have made it this far without our #TeamMyprotein community, so we wanted to celebrate together — from our dedicated ambassadors and driven athletes, to our hard-working staff, and of course, loyal customers.
If you haven’t already signed up to attend our Manchester-based event, firstly; where have you been?! And secondly, here’s a run-down of all the action we’ve got lined up for the day.
Learn from the best
Whether you still consider yourself a new face in the changing rooms, or you’ve been in a committed relationship with your gym for years now, there’s nothing quite as motivating as hearing from the people who live, eat, sleep and breathe their sport and discipline.
We’ve got an incredible line up of guest speakers to hit you with all the inspiration and insider knowledge you’ll need to reignite your spark. Highlights include:
Kyle Walker
Hosting and interviewing the panels, we’ve got BBC Radio Manchester star Kyle Walker, who you may already know from his popular weekly feature, ‘The Dead Good Show’.
Joshua Buatsi
This Olympic boxer is a force to be reckoned with in the ring. He’ll be sharing his experience of life as a professional light heavyweight and what it takes to represent your country.
Vicky Fleetwood
Rugby World Cup winner Vicky Fleetwood made her debut for the England team in 2011 when she was just 21 years old. She plays for professionally for Saracens as a flanker and is a qualified personal trainer.
Dean Stott
Prepare to be inspired. Dean Stott is a former British Special Forces soldier who served for a number of years until a life-changing parachuting accident. Always on the lookout for the next challenge, he then set his sights on breaking the world record for cycling the Pan American Highway. As you do.
Lubomba
If you’re into maximising muscle gain, then this is your guy. His dedication to training and motivational vlogs have gained him a massive following on his social channels, which he juggles alongside his own business and studying for an architecture degree. A man of many talents.
Steph Elswood
She first made her name through her account Healthy Chef Steph, but there’s not much this woman can’t do! As well as creating a vegan recipe ebook, ‘Plant to Plate’, Steph’s a personal trainer, dancer and YouTuber.
Step up to the challenge
It wouldn’t be a Myprotein event if we didn’t make you break a sweat now would it? We’ve got a loaded schedule of high-power classes and challenges for you to take on.
Whether you want a bodyweight workout led by fitness model Alex Beattie, or a masterclass in boxing from Olympic medallist Joshua Buatsi — we’ve got something for all.
Yes, prizes are included.
And, of course, the finest fuel...
From our best-selling favourites to our latest innovations, there’ll be plenty of samples for you to fill the tank with. As if you need any more reasons to be there.

To celebrate 8 million strong, we're telling your stories:
Lauren is an English Literature graduate originally from the South. She’s always loved swimming, has discovered the power of weight training over the past few years, and has lots of room for improvement in her weekly hot yoga class.
On the weekends she’s usually cooking or eating some kind of brunch, and she enjoys trying out new recipes with her housemates – especially since shaking off student habits, like mainly surviving off pasta. Above all, she’s a firm believer in keeping a balance between the gym and gin.
