I have also met Leonana/Sherry and Pratima when I was visiting AZ. Most of the others don't post at VF anymore or not often anyway (except Izzy/Mary still does!), but I met all of them at a Travis Eliot weekend in Chicago several years ago (and we had lunch with Travis where I totally fan-girled ). One of the ladies I had met before that in AZ as a surprise tag-along when she had arranged to meet my mom (Miss Scarlett). I have very much enjoyed IRL meetings and honestly there are a few that I am so close to I feel like I have met them IRL even though I haven't! (I hope my memory has served well and I didn't forget any meetings!)
Yes, my dd and I met you and your mom at the outlet mall. That was a special memory and I still have the pics. You or your mom took a pic of my dd and I, and it's one of my favorites. Hard to believe she is 20 now! Your mom was such a sweet person.

We had a great day with you both, Sherry. I came across a picture from that day the other day. I'm so glad you got to meet Mom. It meant so much to her to be a part of the group.

I met a couple of VF members when I did the 2007 Cathe Roadtrip. I think there is only one of the few that still hangs out here.

I'm in Colorado, very close to Denver so if anyone has or knows of a get-together, let me know. I'd love to join in.

I think 3 of the get-togethers were at my house in Rockville. Did you get stuck in a traffic jam on 95 when coming to one of them?

I have met a lot of VFers! I live close to Joni O, met YogaPam in Tulsa, Jennifer (Glamgal), Pam in Colorado, Izzy (Mary), Shelley, Andrea in Las Vegas, Amy in Wisconsin, and have several VFers visit my in person and virtual classes. I love meeting VFers...instant, like minded friends.

I am planning an Essentrics event locally in MN, and will post once I get the details ironed out.

I think FitBoop had some get-togethers to take assorted classes together in the NYC area in years past.

(She has been AWOL, but is doing OK.)

I have met many VFers since 2002. I first met VFers for a NY get-together, then at Cathe’s roadtrip, which was a small group, compared to her current roadtrips. I also met VFers at fitness conferences over the years. I particularly enjoyed Greg Twombly’s CIA fitness conferences in Philly.

I have organized a number of get-togethers, in Boston and in NYC. We have taken classes at different studios, such as Lotte Berk, Physique 57 and Exhale, and even had Margaret Richard fly to NY to give us some classes.

I plan to organize more VF meetings in the future.

I don't quite remember; possibly! I live in Harford County yet worked in Howard County, so my life has been one long traffic jam on 95 ... (Now that I'm retired from a formal job, and considering a part-time job, that's one requirement: to not have to get on 95 to commute.) I have not been on 95 since March 2000, when I started tele-working.

I'm pretty sure my DH met zraipel (Stephanie).

Iirc, we had a buy/sell transaction of a piece of fitness equipment, and he was my delivery man. I can't remember exactly what the equipment was...fluidity bar, maybe?

That is so cool and exactly the kind of thing I hoped to hear!
