Michelle’s seminar was very motivating and after speaking with our members and guests after the session, they felt excited and ready to kick start their weight loss goals with our upcoming biggest loser program. As a personal trainer myself, the seminar reinforced 4 areas which are very important to help you achieve your weight loss, they were:
For those that didn’t get a chance to attend, I hope the above will help you make small adjustments or changes to help further your weight loss goals. If you need any help on how you include the above into your program then ask when you are in next and we can organise an upgrade of your program or ask us about our small group training.
In October the annual Administration fee will be processed. This will be processed on the 12th October and will be $22.
To coincide with the Tour de France we ran our version with over 120 participants riding their way to improved fitness while having plenty of fun along the way. Each Active Team Member has their own Team and they competed for a breakfast at the Courtyard Marriott Hotel. The winning Team was “Race On” co-captained by Holly and Karen. So congratulations to:

This month you can have a FitnessAge assessment with Toni for just $17.50! That is a saving of $7.50! She has only limited spaces, so call the club now and book: 9870 8775.
We have a group of committed members who are going to change their body shape! The 20 plus members will be training 3 times a week with Aimee & Nathan! So keep your eyes peeled for the members with the new bodies!
If you missed this program, email Duncan and let him know you would like to join the next program!
We have new mats for the stretch area. They have finally arrived and the advantages of having more mats down there for you lucky members is that now in peak times you don’t have to wait around to get a mat so you can finish up your session. Hope you enjoy taking advantage of these new mats and don’t forget to incorporate them with your core work and stretching.
This exercise is designed not only to strengthen your hamstrings and glut muscles, but helps to strengthen and stabilise your core/abdominal muscles, because the fit ball is not a fix object thus your core muscles have to activate in order for you to maintain balance on the ball.
How to perform it?
Need help with this? Book in to see Aimee and she can show you.
Brian is our September Member of the Month. Brian has been a great member to have on board is motivated and keen to improve his health and fitness. He has excelled in his bike challenge and since has been challenging himself each session by improving on his last time. Brian has averaged 14 work outs per month in the past 4 months! Well done Brian and keep up the great work.
This month you would have seen our personal trainers proudly wearing their new blue shirts. This marked a new change to our personal training service. As most gyms have personal trainers we wanted to be different. We wanted to say what people want from personal training . . . results! So after much debate we are excited to say that we no longer have personal trainers in the Club but Results Coaches. The Active Results Coaches will coach, train and assist you in achieving your results. Plus we have 2 new coaches who have just started with us! So if you would like to see what Results Coaching is all about . . . ask! Just grab Duncan, Chris, Tony, Scott or Patrick and organise a free Results Session just see why so many people benefit from having their personal coach!
This month we welcome all these members who started with their Results Coach this month:
We currently have a few positions that we are looking to fill in the Club. These include:
If you know anyone who maybe interested in these roles, please forward this email to them or suggest they got to www.activehealth.com.au and click on Join The Team - where they can complete an on-line application form.
