Farewell Network magazine , you ’ ve had a great run
When I took the reins as Network editor many years ago , I must confess to feeling a little daunted by the responsibility , because it was immediately apparent just how passionate and loyal a membership our publication was serving . Framed editions of previous Network magazines adorned the walls of the office , a reminder of the legacy carved out by my predecessors in the editor ’ s chair : Analee , Justine , Jan and Lyn .
For many years , including the earliest days of the fledgling Australian fitness industry , Network magazine was the only source of information , the ‘ bible ’ as many called it , for the new ‘ fitness leaders ’ and club operators that were eager to learn about new aerobics choreography and music , pick up tips for writing exercise programs and improve their sales processes .
Times change , the internet arrived and with it the way we consume information . While adopting new online formats we continued to create the magazine , each issue for the past 15 years beautifully designed by Jack Lee . A few years ago , we stopped printing , and now , after more than 30 years and around 200 issues , we ’ re bidding a fond farewell to Network magazine . We are continuing to publish PT , GX and business articles , profiles , competitions , CEC opportunities and more , just in formats that better suit
how we all interact with media today .
To every Network Member and contributor that has supported the magazine at any point , and for some of you at every point , over the past four decades , we say an enormous thank you . On page 16 many of those involved in the magazine over the years share their reflections . For myself , and the editors before me , it ’ s been incredibly rewarding putting each issue together , and I ’ m personally very proud of the breadth of content we have covered , and the way in which it has evolved over the years to reflect the increasing diversity and inclusivity of our industry .
While we look forward to seeing you at fitnessnetwork . com . au , now it ’ s time to bid a fond farewell to Network magazine . I hope , as with every issue before it , you will find value and interest in the pages of this final issue .
