Most People Aren't Physically Ready for Bonnaroo… Are You?
Wed Feb 04 2026
Most people think they're physically ready for Bonnaroo…until they hit the farm and realize just how intense four days of heat, walking, dancing, and nonstop movement really are. That's why we're talking to Christin Craig of the Roo Fitness Challenge: a simple, realistic, community‑driven plan to help you show up stronger, safer, and more prepared than ever.
In this episode, certified personal trainer Christin breaks down exactly what it takes to get Roo‑ready, why even small changes now can transform your festival experience, and how YOU can join the challenge starting today. Whether you’re a first‑timer or a seasoned veteran, this is your roadmap to surviving (and actually enjoying) the physical side of Bonnaroo. Sign up for the Roo Fitness Challenge here!
