As the pioneer of the Aussie fitness industry Network truly led the way in the early days, and since then has served as a
reputable and reliable beacon for those in the industry to look to.
Personally, as a place to work, Network is all about the people, led by Nigel, and the fun, positive environment. Coming
from a non-fitness background, working alongside countless others over the years who do have one foot in fitness
delivery and another in Network, has certainly influenced me – for one thing, I can’t imagine that I’d have run a marathon
if it hadn’t been for the support and encouragement fostered by the awesome Network team culture!
The people, as well as the nature and variety of my work, have made Network a truly great place to spend my past 11 years
(and counting!) Every year at FILEX I feel proud to be representing our organisation.
For all of these reasons I’d like to thank Nigel, Lisa, Greg and everyone that has made Network what it is.

Congratulations on reaching a monumental 30 years of Australian Fitness Network. You truly have changed the lives of
countless fitness professionals and their clients, but you've also been instrumental in setting the course for those of us
who've been lucky enough to work within the four walls of Network during that time.
I will never forget my first FILEX as event crew, where I immediately knew that if there was one single company I HAD to
be a part of in my budding fitness industry career, that company was Network.
Thank you for your belief in me, for the opportunities you've led me to, and the chance to be a part of a company that I
am honestly so proud of. It's been a second home to me over the past 10 years, with you setting the tone for the family
atmosphere and helping me become the person I am today.
Both of you have given the entire Network team, both past and present, the chance to reach for the stars by standing on
the shoulders of giants, and I know I speak for many when I say that I am eternally grateful.

Congratulations on being at the forefront of the fitness industry for 30 years! It’s an amazing achievement and I’m so
grateful to have been involved in a part of this journey.
I have been fortunate to work for Network for over a decade. This is longer than I ever had anticipated working for one
company. The ever present support, encouragement and generosity shown to me from the team, and especially its leaders
Nigel, Greg and Lisa, has made Network feel like family, for which I’ll be forever grateful. Network has created a culture and
environment that enable me to say that I’ve never dreaded coming to work. (well… maybe during FILEX brochure time!)
With you I have grown professionally and personally over the last decade, and I thank you for your understanding and the
flexibility you've allowed me that have enabled this to occur. Thank you again for all of your support, I am honoured to
have been a part of Network.
