Branch News Sanitarium NZ Gym to get a refresh A group of Sanitarium staff recently put their heads together on ideas for improving the work gym, with the aim of signing up new members by creating a more inspiring space that’ll make everyone want to work out more often. A survey, sent to Sanitarium NZ staff in August to gather feedback on how to make better use or improve the current gym set up, promises to bring improvements to the space based on what staff said. To celebrate the implementation of the improvements and encourage new gym members, a promotion involved all members going into the draw to win a wellness workshop from the team at Bikes & Blends and TV Personality Art Green. Congratulations to the winners who enjoyed workshop and goodie bag. Good luck on your journey for improved health and wellness. Thinking of joining? The annual gym subscription can be fully covered by the BetterU subsidy. Weet-Bix™ Kids TRYathlon 18/19 Series is expected to exceed records The team is busy preparing for the 27th season of the NZ Weet-Bix™ Kids TRYathlon, starting at Mt Maunganui on Sunday 25 November 2018 through until Sunday 7 April 2019 in the Bay of Islands. Sanitarium Weet-Bix Kids TRYathlon is the biggest Triathlon for kids aged under 16 in the World. Last year’s participation numbers (31,890) were record-breaking, and the team is set to exceed that again. Overall, 350,000 kids have given it a TRY and the impact this event has on the kids is incredible - our research shows that 99.3% of the parents felt the event had a positive impact on their child and 99% of the kids felt good or better about themselves for participating. Great results! Let’s do this again team. Nutrition advice available to consumers We have plenty of resources available to those of you looking for some expert advice on nutrition and healthy living.
