Congratulations to our Team of members who did an awesome effort in the Biggest Loser program. Here are just some of the participants at our Mocktail Party
And here is what some of the participants had to say: "The 'Biggest Loser' was fun, challenging and worth the effort. A fantastic program if you're prepared to commit. Was I a loser? Oh yes! But in the end, the results showed I was a winner! Whoohoo!"Megan "Biggest loser program help me shift 6kgs and has helped motivate me to continue my exercise outside of the program! Thanks Active!" "I recently completed the Biggest Loser program. Exercising for me has always been a chore and I would always make excuses as to why I didn`t want to do it. Michelle from TV`s Biggest Loser seemed to be speaking to me personally when she said "No more excuses, just do it". The motivation, encouragement and group support I received was great and I ended up losing 7kg, 13cm from my waist and 11cm from my hips. I reduced my fitness age by 14 years and now realise that this is a plan for life and not just for 6 weeks! Thank you Aimee and Active"
The 'Run for a Cause' challenge saw fantastic support from so many people as they shuffled, walked, jogged and ran their way to help raise money for Cancer Research. The participants, all of their personal sponsors and every person who signed up for the Fun Run allowed us to raise a staggering $700 towards this good cause. Active Health Club would like to recognise the following people who helped contribute towards this tremendous amount:
And two members got several sponsors: Elise's sponsors - Adam, her mum & dad, Tracey, Kim, Steph, Tina, Lee, Tim, Janelle and Emma Chris's sponsors - S. Harvey, C. Harvey, C. Wild and J. MacDonaldAnd from the Team:
We will do this again in 2008 . . . so please join the fun!

Did you know this about . . . Nicola I started at Active Health Club to pursue my Career in Fitness. I have completed my Certificate III in Fitness and currently finishing my Certificate IV in personal Training. Being a part of the First Impressions team has helped me to relate to members and understand all the aspects of the gym and how it functions. I enjoy getting to know members and working with the Active Team. In my spare time I practice Performing arts, this includes singing, acting and I would love to dance like a pro!! Hopefully my interest in fitness will help me on stage one day!!
