Burn & Brunch: A Celebration of Fitness, Wellness, and Community

Burn & Brunch, presented by FitCon, brought together fitness enthusiasts, wellness brands, and lifestyle seekers for a one-of-a-kind fitness brunch experience at The Shoppes at City of Dreams, Colombo’s newest lifestyle destination. The event seamlessly blended movement, energy, and connection—featuring a curated 90-minute power workout, a wholesome post-burn brunch, a wellness marketplace, and an engaging brand showcase, all set to the rhythm of upbeat Afrobeats.

The concept behind Burn & Brunch was simple yet powerful — movement, energy, and connection. It brought together fitness enthusiasts, wellness advocates, and lifestyle lovers for a unique experience celebrating health, community, and fun.

For the first time, a 90-minute workout session featuring four expert trainers and four distinct fitness disciplines — mobility, Pilates, HIIT, and yoga — was held under one roof, all at once. The innovative team behind FitCon introduced this one-of-a-kind concept, setting a new benchmark for the local fitness and wellness industry.

Organised by Haut Monde Event Management in collaboration with Fit.lk, the same visionary team that introduced Sri Lanka’s first-ever FitCon, Burn & Brunch was another bold step in redefining how fitness experiences are celebrated in the country.

Treshan Weerasooriya Pereira, Founder of Haut Monde Event Management and the driving force behind FitCon, is a passionate fitness advocate and event expert. He was joined by Fit.lk Co-Founders Natasha and Isuru Fonseka, a dynamic duo with over 15 years of experience in movement, strength, and performance training. Together, they envisioned and executed a concept that blended fitness with lifestyle in a refreshing new way.

Speaking about the concept, Treshan shared, “After witnessing the success and enthusiasm around FitCon, we wanted to create something equally dynamic but with a different energy—something more interactive and community-driven. That’s how Burn & Brunch was born. The idea was to curate an event that combined an empowering workout with a social experience, all within a unique setting like a mall. The positive response reflects the growing curiosity and commitment toward health and wellness in Sri Lanka.”

Four top-tier trainers led the workout lineup, each bringing a distinct approach to fitness. The White Beard Trainer kicked off the session with a Mobility Warm-Up, featuring dynamic drills targeting the hips, shoulders, and spine to activate and prepare the body. NuFloe followed with an energising Mat Pilates session that focused on core strength, control, and fluid motion, helping participants strengthen, sculpt, and stretch their bodies. FHIIT delivered an explosive High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) segment that pushed limits and kept the energy high. The experience concluded with a calming Yoga and Cool-Down flow led by Christa, helping participants ground their energy and restore balance.

Reflecting on the event’s success, Natasha Fonseka remarked, “We wanted to design an inclusive space where everyone—regardless of fitness level, shape, or experience—could come together and move. Each trainer brought something unique, ensuring participants received a complete and fulfilling workout experience. Seeing such a diverse crowd working side by side was incredible. We’re excited to continue building this community through more creative fitness concepts and future editions of FitCon.”

Burn & Brunch was supported by a strong lineup of sponsors who played a pivotal role in bringing the event to life. Anlene joined as the Title Sponsor and Mobility Partner, promoting bone, joint, and muscle health through its nutritious milk range. Other key partners included Red Bull (Official Energy Partner), Olu (Hydration Partner), PartySmart (Recovery Partner), Celcius Sri Lanka (Wellness Partner), and Official Nutrition Partner.

Following the workout, guests were treated to a healthy and delicious brunch curated by The Shoppes at City of Dreams, allowing them to refuel and unwind while exploring the vibrant wellness marketplace. The setting encouraged participants to connect with brands, discover new products, and celebrate the joy of balanced living.

Burn & Brunch proved to be more than just a fitness event—it celebrated health, energy, and community spirit, highlighting Sri Lanka’s growing passion for wellness-driven experiences. Follow @FitConSriLanka on Instagram to stay updated on future events and initiatives.
