STATE AND
TERRITORY
GOVERNMENTS
RECOGNISE
FITREC
In other fitness registration news, NSW and
ACT governments recently acknowledged
FITREC as a fitness registration provider.
The ACT is currently the only State/
Territory in Australia that specifies fitness
registration as a requirement to be
considered ‘qualified’. FITREC managing
director,
Dennis
Hosking,
recently
confirmed the ACT Commissioner for Fair
Trading had signed off on FITREC as being
an Approved Registration Body under the
ACT’s Fair Trading (Fitness Industry) Code
of Practice 2009.
‘This gives fitness professionals and
employers in the ACT unprecedented
flexibility, autonomy and choice with regards
to fitness registration’ Hosking said.
21 years ago, back in 1997, Network was going Elastic Fantastic! Industry educator
Trude Langdon urged readers to take a fresh look at resistance band training and to
revitalise their New Body classes by using Fit Strips;
“Despite being one of the simplest and most effective ways to ensure a total body
workout in a New Body class, resistance bands (Fit Strips) suffer from an image problem.
They have a false reputation as being either ‘too boring’ for New Body programs or too
hard for the average New Body participant.
The truth is that Fit Strips are an extremely effective muscle conditioning tool that can
be incorporated into your New Body classes in an exciting and achievable format, that
ensures not only a balanced workout, but also better results in terms of muscle toning.
Unfortunately, Fit Strips have traditionally been employed in stationary, muscle
sculpting classes, which has tended to limit their application and do nothing for their
reputation!”
1 thing I’ve learnt
John Polley,
Movement coach and presenter

“The thing I’ve learnt above all else in my career is simple: be authentically you in
everything you do. Our industry is human relationships. Many believe more knowledge
somehow translates to success; or more marketing; or jumping on the latest fad; or
worst of all, copying others.
Success will always come if you offer what no one else can – you. You might have
the same knowledge and skills as everyone in your facility, and yet you have the edge.
No one else on earth can be you. And that ‘you-ness’ is your biggest asset. It will
attract all those people that are meant to work with you, connect with you and help
you succeed. Like attracts like - if you let it. Be fiercely and unapologetically you and
let success happen. It will. The most successful people I know are proof of this – they
radiate their unique self, always.”
