PUBLISHERS’S WELCOME
WELCOME TO
“WHAT’S NEW IN FITNESS”
PUBLISHER

The power of mainstream media yet again highlighted fitness
as a fun and exciting activity when Australian Ninja Warrior
premiered in June 2017. Despite none of the TV networks
originally wanting to take on the risk with an ‘extreme’ reality
show, the addictive, short 9-part series was a overwhelming success averaging
records of 1.5 million viewers per episode and the holy grail of 3 million viewers for the
finale. Channel 9 are now inundated with applications for the next series. Look out for
a new wave of obstacle based activity centres and gyms, they’re on the way!
In this edition we are excited to kick of a series of articles from Professor Chris McLellan
PhD on Simulated Altitude Training (SAT). GET HIGH! is on page 13, with articles
following on the website through September and October.
Our Club Profile (page 21) is EMF Performance Centre, Queensland’s largest gym. Find
out what makes this facility world class and an experience beyond any expectations.
There’s so much more, so we welcome you to this Spring edition and hope you enjoy
the read.
Regards,
Craig Mac
