The 3rd Annual Fitness Festival returns to Limassol on 25th & 26th April, back on deck at Molos, bringing together the island’s fitness community for two high-energy days by the sea. Doors open from 9am on both Saturday, April 25, 2026 and Sunday, April 26, 2026.
International instructors
Adding a global edge to the weekend, the festival has hosted international fitness instructors flown in from Athens, London, and Dubai, bringing fresh training styles, new energy and world-class coaching to Limassol.
These international sessions give attendees the opportunity to experience globally recognised training concepts while remaining rooted in the local fitness scene — reinforcing the festival’s role as a meeting point between Cyprus and the international fitness community.
This year we will be hosting:
Julius Burphy from Manchester: An international force in the fitness world and founder of Stepper-Ton, Julius has built a global reputation through his high-intensity training style, elite coaching, and unmatched energy. He’s taken his signature method across the world—leading sessions in cities like Africa, Japan, Dubai, Paris and many more.

Lola Karavasilli from Thesaloniki: Lola has taken the internet by a storm with her energy and iconic Vissi rides and we’re flying her in to bring all that energy on deck! As a certified real ryder instructor she’s travelled the world to get trained by elite coaches like Kristina Girod.
The local touch
The festival proudly brings together some of the most influential local gyms and trainers from across Cyprus, celebrating the strength and diversity of the island’s fitness community. Leading studios such as FUELHOUSE, CrossFit Limassol, Machalekkides, and Flow Lab Pilates will be delivering a wide range of classes, from high-intensity strength and conditioning to Pilates, functional training, cycling and recovery-focused sessions.
Alongside them, top local trainers including Mikaella Neophytou, Jade Marengo and many more, will bring their individual style, energy, and expertise to the deck. Together, they will create a dynamic programme designed to challenge, inspire and unite participants of all fitness levels, reinforcing Heatwave as a true platform for local talent and community connection.
Community and culture
At its core, the festival is about bringing people together. Alongside the training programme, the weekend will feature a charity run for BlueHeart Foundation Foundation in collaboration with the island’s leading run clubs, encouraging participants of all abilities to move together, connect and celebrate the island’s growing fitness culture.
Blue Heart is a dynamic and multifaceted Non-Profit Organisation, aimed at immediately addressing urgent needs and substantially supporting our fellow human beings experiencing economic hardship, bullying, violence and abuse. It relies on a vast network of people who voluntarily join forces.
Our partnering Run Clubs include: Team Runnins, The Nicosia Run Club, The PM Run Club, Sea Legs Runners & Hygeneration, Who’s Chasing You and Marbo Run Club.
With workouts set against the sea and shared moments throughout the day, the event creates a space where fitness meets lifestyle, and strangers leave as part of the same community.
Music and atmosphere
Set against the Limassol coastline, the festival blends training, movement and music — with non-stop DJ sets, soundtracking workouts in Hip Hop, RnB and AfroHouse.
DJ lineup includes DJ Andrez P, DJ MG, Mr. Cause, Mr. MK and STS Michael, keeping energy levels high from the first workout to the final stretch.
For a second consecutive year we are welcoming Leggo CY, the club event ruling the island to bring us a Super Surprise (hint hint).
The Food Market
We are also expanding our food market experience in collaboration with GoodEarth, who are joining us for a second consecutive year and have created a limited-edition wrap exclusively for Heatwave, available to enjoy throughout the festival.
The protein bar will be taken over by FUELHOUSE’s ReFuel Bar, introducing a special Limited Edition Shake crafted for the event in collaboration with Papaphilipou Ice Cream. This unique offering features a peanut butter shake blended with chocolate stevia ice cream and strawberry stevia ice cream, bringing together indulgence, nostalgia and performance in true Heatwave style.
Pop-up Market and Retail
The festival will also host a curated pop-up market, featuring a mix of activewear brands and streetwear stores, allowing attendees to shop between sessions and discover both local and international labels.
Participating brands include DIVINITY, DOZZE, Firefly, IKIGAI Reformer Pilates Mats, StripAir Nose Strips, NN Bodies, Bunda Butt, and many more alongside additional retail activations throughout the weekend.
The Glam station
One of our new additions for 2026 will be a GLAM station.
At the CP Herbalist booth, guests will be able to try and purchase the brand’s sun protection essentials, including both tinted and non-tinted SPF options, ideal for those looking to protect their skin while staying active under the sun. Visitors will also be invited to explore some of the brand’s most loved self care products, including the Hair Oil Elixir and Hair Oil Shine for hair nourishment and care, Dual Skin Patches for a fresher and more revived look, Facial Sprays for an instant refreshing boost, and the Mascara Oil Elixir for the care of lashes and brows.
The WizArt charity trims station
Welcoming on deck the wizards of barbers, WizArt is not your typical barbershop. It represents a modern barbering concept that blends the art of men’s grooming with a complete lifestyle experience. Rooted in attention to detail, refined aesthetics, and personalised service, WizArt has built a reputation for delivering high quality haircuts and grooming experiences tailored to each individual’s style and needs. Its strong presence across social media and events has helped it connect with a contemporary audience that values both style and experience.
During the event, the WizArt team will be offering professional trims for just €5, with all proceeds going to support Blueheart charity. This initiative transforms a simple grooming service into an opportunity for festival goers to contribute to a meaningful cause, while enjoying the signature WizArt experience.
The Recovery station
The Recovery station will be managed by the Chiropractic Centre by Nicos Pouli, and supplied by BLACKROLL, is designed to help attendees reset, recharge and perform at their best throughout the festival. Featuring recovery boots, foam rollers and sports massages, the space offers a hands-on approach to muscle recovery and relaxation.
