Club Without Walls: Fitness Taken to the Extreme

For the past 2 years at IDEA World Fitness, Club Without Walls sessions have pushed fitness to the limit. Now, they go one step further with two kinds of sessions. The first kind gives you valuable, hands-on experiences that provide you with skills and strategies you can take home to your clients. The second kind—Adventure sessions—is for your own personal enrichment. These sessions are designed to be fun and to give you the opportunity to participate in cutting-edge activities.

Most sessions take place outside, in such stunning offsite locations as breathtaking Red Rock Canyon. They provide the perfect chance for you to try something you’ve always wanted to do, but in a safe, structured way. For example, if you’re interested in skydiving but afraid of jumping out of a plane, now you can do indoor skydiving only 6–12 feet off the ground. Club Without Walls sessions give you unique programming not found anywhere else.

Winter Wonderland Welcome Party

Winter comes early to Las Vegas this year, as we change the desert into an ice and snow extravaganza for our gala Welcome Reception.

Escape the heat with the cool thrills of this snow fantasy come to life. Enter the party through a “tunnel” that blows cold air onto your legs and ends with a “snow flurry.” Then get ready to dance the night away and party with penguins, snowmen and, of course, your fellow fitness pros!

Look forward to:

  • ice skating (skates will be provided)
  • climbing inflatable mountains
  • dancing to a cool DJ
  • eating a light-buffet dinner
  • getting to know new friends and visiting with old ones

Come prepared for a party unlike any other in this frozen wonderland!
