FILM FEST FAQ

WHO CAN ATTEND FILM FEST?

Any MOSSA fans are welcome, including instructors, participants, MOSSA On Demand subscribers, and fitness facility management and staff. To create and ensure a professional learning environment for our partners and all participants, we require that attendees be 16 years of age or older. Registration is required prior to arrival.

HOW MANY WORKOUTS CAN I ATTEND?

During initial registration, each attendee may be limited to two events per day to allow more attendees to experience Film Fest. Approximately two weeks prior to Film Fest the two-event limit will be lifted if numbers allow.

HOW LONG DO REHEASALS AND FILMINGS TAKE?

Rehearsals and filmings include the main release tracks and the bonus tracks. Generally, 30-minute programs take 60 minutes, and 60-minute programs take 75 minutes.

IF I DON'T ATTEND A REHEARSAL, CAN I ATTEND A FILMING ... AND VICE VERSA?

Yes, absolutely, participants will commonly attend one and not the other.

WILL I BE ASSIGNED A SPOT, OR DO I CHOOSE?

We’ll assign your spot, yes, and we’ll welcome you in the room when we’re ready for participants.

WHAT GOES ON IN BETWEEN FILMINGS?

Depending on the day, we’re often preparing and setting up for the next filming, presenters are practicing and reviewing film…and MOSSA’s HQ employees are going about their “normal” days!

DOES IT COST ANYTHING TO ATTEND FILM FEST?

No, there is no cost to attend Film Fest.

WHAT HOTELS DO YOU RECOMMEND?

Holiday Inn Express Marietta – Atlanta Northwest
1250 Franklin Gateway, Marietta, GA 30067
This hotel is 0.2 miles from MOSSA Headquarters and within walking distance.

Home2Suites by Hilton Atlanta Marietta
2168 Kingston Ct SE, Marietta, GA 30067
This hotel is 0.6 miles from MOSSA Headquarters.

WILL I BE ON CAMERA?

As a participant, you may be visible on camera for a good portion of the workout. We also invite participants on to the stage after the workout for a group photo.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

We would prefer that you wear branded program apparel for the program you are attending. If you do not have branded apparel for a program, choose a solid color top in the program color or black. For example, for Group Power, either wear a POWER top, or a red or black top. Bottoms should be appropriate to the program (e.g., no baggy pants for Ride). Make hair and makeup choices knowing you may appear in the video – especially front row, woot! woot!

CAN I BUY MOSSA APPAREL AT FILM FEST?

Yes! The MOSSA Store is open during Film Fest, featuring branded apparel and accessories. Film Fest attendees can also purchase exclusive t-shirts, tanks, and hoodies with Print on Demand!

IS THERE A PLACE TO CHANGE, SHOWER, AND STORE MY THINGS?

Yes, we have a locker room at MOSSA HQ. If you want to lock up your belongings, please bring your own lock.

WHAT DOWNTIME ACTIVITIES DO YOU RECOMMEND IN THE ATLANTA AREA?

Stay close and join us for MOSSA HQ pickleball (we have paddles), or check out Atlanta’s other sports; depending on the season, you can catch the Braves (baseball), Atlanta United (soccer), Falcons (football), and the Hawks (basketball). Truist Park, home to the Braves, is next to The Battery, a shopping and dining district that fits everyone. Marietta Square (park, restaurants, shops) is fun, especially in October when they host Chalktoberfest, and Ponce City Market is a historic area converted for shopping and food. Atlanta is also home to the Georgia Aquarium, iFLY Indoor Skydiving, a variety of Civil Rights sites and tours, and World of Coca-Cola.

Group Fitness Manager

“MOSSA Film Fest is one-of-a-kind experience! Super high energy, great atmosphere, and wonderful people make this event phenomenal and contagious and keeps me coming back each time. I love every moment of it, and don’t want to miss any of it!”

Janon Tufte

Group Exercise Leadership Team

“The excitement, the adrenaline and the passion from everyone from the sound team, to the cameramen to the presenters to the attendees was out of this world. Being able to “take a vacation” and do what we all love is something you just can’t replicate in many companies. I would highly suggest any fitness instructor, no matter how long they have been teaching, attend a Film Fest as soon as possible!”

Laura Barnes

Group Fitness Director

“Attending Film Fest is always a blast! It is fun to connect with other Instructors and to see the “magic” behind the scenes.”

Emily Harmer

Instructor

“Film Fest is an incredible experience because you are surrounded by professionals from across the country, and sometimes even the world, that just get it – they all share the same passion and mindset to get and keep more people moving. You get to swap stories and connect through your collective commonalities and learn from each other’s different experiences. The palpable hum of excitement during filming is so energizing and inspiring that you carry it back to your facility and share it with your team and participants. It fills your cup to overflowing! It’s incredible to see the time, preparation, and amount of teamwork it takes to bring the workouts to life and gives you a greater respect for the process, professionalism, and passion MOSSA has for their product. It’s just plain FUN! But be warned… once you attend, you’re hooked!”

Bridget Behrman

“Film Fest is an experience like no other out there! If you are looking to come to HQ and leave with renewed energy, fill your cup up with the passion that got you started in group fitness, Film Fest is your answer. Don’t hesitate, sign up and fuel that fire in your fitness soul!”
