About Us - Naija Fitness Festival (NAIJAFFEST)

it's a movement to transform lives across Nigeria

Born from the passionate vision of fitness expert EmmaPassions, the Naija Fitness Festival (NAIJAFFEST), formerly known as Warri Fitness Festival (WAFFEST), is more than an event—it's a movement to transform lives across Nigeria. Launched on May 21, 2016, with a vibrant debut in Warri, NAIJAFFEST ignited a spark, uniting communities in a joyous celebration of health, fitness, and well-being.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to combat obesity, raise awareness about its health risks, and inspire everyone to embrace a healthier, happier lifestyle. What sets NAIJAFFEST apart is our heart—creating a family-friendly, engaging, and entertaining environment where learning about fitness, nutrition, beauty, and wellness feels like a festival of fun.

From the electrifying energy of live music, comedy, and dance to the excitement of fitness games, free health screenings, and a dedicated kids’ zone, our inaugural event left an unforgettable mark. Participants laughed, danced, and connected, while vendors and artists buzzed with enthusiasm. The air was filled with the thrill of raffle draws, the cheers of football and table tennis, and the refreshing taste of free smoothies—every moment pulsing with joy and inspiration.

The overwhelming love and positive reviews from that first edition fueled our dream to grow bigger, rebranding as NAIJAFFEST to reach every corner of Nigeria. We’re here to spark a revolution—one where families, friends, and communities come together to move, laugh, learn, and thrive. Join us at NAIJAFFEST, where fitness meets fun, and every step you take is a leap toward a healthier, more vibrant you!
