Harness the inspirational power of Spring!
Spring is one of my favourite seasons for a number of
reasons. In addition to the new life and energy it brings, its
arrival means that we get to shed some of our winter woolies
(or long-sleeved shirts if you’re based in QLD or NT!) and
enjoy some glorious Aussie sunshine. From a professional
perspective, the longer and warmer days bring a resurgence
of interest from clients and class participants as they feel
more inclined to return to their workouts. And because it’s
the lead-up to Summer, the season brings more prospects
out of the woodwork as they make the decision to get ‘beach
fit’ for the festive season. If I was running 12-week training
challenges, now’s the time I’d be marketing them like crazy!
Here at Network HQ, Spring usually heralds some new
projects as well as all-important planning for 2015. This
year is no different. Here’s a new initiative, and an ongoing
one, that I hope you’ll find interesting and consider getting
involved with.
For fitness professionals in Sydney and the rest of NSW,
we are very excited to bring to your doorstep a unique event
we’re calling the ‘Network Intensive Training Summit’. A
one-day, highly intensive experience (as its name suggests)
delegates will have the choice of one of two strands: Training
Women, or Small Group Training. Featuring top notch
presenters, a jam-packed day of fantastic content and held
in conjunction with the Fitness Show NSW, you won’t want
to miss this event. Keep your eye out for communications
from Network, and check out networksummits.com.au for
details about presenters and sessions.
fitnessU, our new brand of fitness education
designed to fit around our students’ lifestyles,
is recruiting mentors – or as we call them, ProTrainers. Our national academy of Pro-Trainers get
paid to help our learners work their way through
their Cert III and IV study materials by delivering
face-to-face ‘TransformU’ sessions, designed to
complement what they’re learning online. We are in
need of Pro-Trainers around Australia, particularly
in regional areas, so if you are fully qualified,
hold more than three years’ experience and are
looking to take that next step in your career,
visit fitnessu.com.au to find out more.
Until next time,
Ryan Hogan, CEO
