AWARDS
REVAMPED
Fitness Australia recently launched the Australian Fitness Awards
2019. The refreshed awards have evolved from the Active Achievers
Awards which the registration provider has conducted in recent
years. Open to everyone in the industry, the new awards aim to
recognise and celebrate outstanding fitness professionals and
businesses.
The 2019 Australian Fitness Awards include seven business
categories, three categories for individuals and one community
award. Reflecting industry changes, the business category now
includes PT Business of the Year, Boutique Business of the Year
and 24/7 Fitness Business of the Year.
The category for individual achievements includes awards for
Personal Trainer of the Year, Group Exercise Instructor of the Year
and Fitness Student of the Year.
The Awards Committee will also recognise the important
contributions of industry leaders and champions with its Awards of
Honour, which are not open for nomination.
Interim CEO of Fitness Australia, Greg Harris, who assumed
the position upon the recent retirement of Bill Moore, said; ‘The
Australian Fitness Awards provide a tremendous opportunity
for businesses and professionals to be acknowledged for the
contribution they make to the industry and the impact they have
in their community. With a range of new categories, and the ability
for individuals and businesses to nominate themselves, as well as
clients and customers being able to nominate them, the stage is set
to find some truly remarkable stories’.
Award nominations are open until 17 October, and the winners
will be announced in April 2019 – aka FILEX time!
