COMMUNITY NETWORK LAUNCHES NEW GFM COURSE Do you need to make group fitness thrive in your club? It’s not as simple as just filling up your timetable and hoping for the best. Behind every club’s successful group fitness timetable is a great GFM (Group Fitness Manager). So what makes a GFM great? This is what Network’s Learning and Development team sought to establish when they were brainstorming how to equip every club with the know-how to make group fitness the true heart of its operations. This process has resulted in the creation of Network’s new course ‘Group Fitness Management – Creating a reliable and skilled team’, recently accredited for 3 CECs by Fitness Australia and 3 CPDs by ExerciseNZ ($109 for Network Members). The online course equips you with the tools to become a skilled manager of GFIs or PTs. If you’ve ever wanted to become a GFM, or you are currently in the group fitness space and want to learn how to create a reliable and skilled team, this course can help you do that. Designed by renowned Australian presenter and group fitness guru, Kirsty Nield, the course covers multiple aspects of management, including how to find and retain the best instructors; innovative ways to lead your team; and strategies to build class numbers. GFM and course cre ator Kirsty Nie ld Network’s Learning and Development manager, Bel Fong, said ‘Over the past couple of decades years Kirsty has made a name for herself as one of Australia’s leading group fitness instructors and educators, and the Network team is excited to be able to offer this course which is brimming with Kirsty’s practical advice and the benefits of her many years’ experience in this field’.
