Too much good stuff to shake a whole
bundle of sticks at!
The time sure flies at Network HQ and it’s quite hard to believe that
it’s March already! This means that FILEX is on our doorstep – and we
couldn’t be happier to be back in Melbourne between 29 April and 1 May
for another cracker of an event.
There are too many FILEX 2016 highlights to mention them all, but
I’ll do my best to summarise a few that I, for one, cannot wait to check
out. Our aim is to help our members learn from the best in the business,
and to that end we have brought together quite simply the best line-up
of presenters ever, including Michol Dalcourt, Douglas Heel, Mike Fitch,
Dr Len Kravitz, Dr Emily Splichal and Grant Schofield to name just a
few. There are also some very exciting innovations like the Women of
Influence Lunch, Meeting of the Minds PT event and the Coaching &
Behaviour Change strand. And, remember, for the first time we are now
offering Student Registration rates and Payment Plans to help with that
all important cashflow. If you haven’t booked your place yet, not to worry
– just go to filex.com.au to check out everything on offer at the event
and to register.
Other than FILEX, we have also been working very hard on the
Network Membership package, exploring what it means for a fitness
professional in this day and age. We’ve conducted some very thorough
research, through both online and face-to-face surveys, and are getting
very close to what we feel will be a compelling membership proposition
for the future.
Finally, recognising the importance and demand for progressive
learning in the bodyweight training space, we are thrilled to be
partnering with Dragon Door International to bring the PCC (Progressive
Calisthenics Certification) to Network Members in Australia. Delivered
by renowned bodyweight strength authorities Al Kavadlo and Grace
Kavadlo, this is one of the only certifications in the world that delivers
a systemised approach to achieving pinnacle moves like pull ups and
pistol squats. You can find out more by visiting pages 33 and 68 in this
magazine and going to fitnessnetwork.com.au/pcc
I look forward to catching up with as many of you as possible at
FILEX in April!
Until next time,
Ryan Hogan, CEO
