OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
145-2019 LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members the City C mmission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: Thursday March 14, 2019
SUBJECT: CITY OF MIAMI BEACH ATTEMPT GUINNESS WORLD RECORD!
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to inform the Mayor and the Commission that the Tourism
and Culture department will place the City of Miami Beach in the spotlight, on the international stage, by
attempting to break the Guinness World Record for "Largest Circuit Training Class" on Saturday March
23, 2019 at 9:30am on Muscle Beach (between 8th and 9th Streets), Miami Beach.
The current record is held by Guy Leech, from Melbourne Australia, when he held a Circuit Training Class
for 2061 people on July 31, 2013. To break this record, Miami Beach will need 2062 people in
attendance, and will need to meet the following qualifications:
• Held at a single venue
• Measured by the number of participants
• Only include full body strength training, comprised of various short exercises completed one after
the other
• At least 3 different exercise sessions, each with at least one instructor
• Total class must equal 30 minutes (not including transition times).
The Tourism and Culture department feels that this initiative will help start to change the narrative and
image of Miami Beach, during Spring Break, by giving residents and tourists a chance to take part in an
internationally recognized event, that puts a focus on health and wellness. This date was also chosen to
coincide with the first day of Spring, taking place on Wednesday March 20, 2019, which is often seen as
a time to get back to fitness, following the winter months.
To participate, please arrive at Muscle Beach, no later than 9:00am, where volunteers will wristband
participants, to keep accurate accounting records, and direct them out to the beach, where 2062+ people
will take part in the 'Largest Circuit Training Class' in the history of the world, while the waves of the
Atlantic Ocean, crash on our beautiful seven mile stretch of white sands.
We need all the support we can get, so please help spread the word!
To verify this record attempt, we need 40 Stewards, who will verify that the event took place, and in the
manner as described above—you do not need to physically participate. Should you wish to volunteer as
a Steward, please contact Travis Richardson at TravisRichardson@miamibeachfl.gov
Should you have questions or comments, please contact Matt Kenny, Tourism and Culture Director at '
