2015 FILEX Fitness Convention
will ultimately flow through to our staff
and our members.”
OH! Magazine was one of the many
valuable sponsors at the Business Summit
and within the main program. OH!
Magazine‘s publisher and editor Analee
Matthews reported an exceptional
FILEX is owned and organised by
Australian Fitness Network (Network).
Network’s CEO Ryan Hogan, says, “The
event was fantastic, with 120+ presenters
delivering more than 250 sessions over
three days. It’s no wonder the 2,000+
delegates who attended over the
weekend delivered such rave reviews in
response to their experience!”
Meredith Littlefair is one such “rave
reviewer”. She says “FILEX truly is first
class! The collective experiences and
knowledge obtained at FILEX, all create
such a positive industry vibe and you
can feel this resonating among the
conference delegates. It is this inspiration
that we all take back to our clubs, which
response to her involvement. She says
“As a direct response to my sponsorship
offering at FILEX, I ran almost fourty
meetings over four days, equating to a
17 per cent immediate response rate.
And we received more than half those
leads before I even left the stage after
presenting my special offer! I couldn’t
be happier with the almost immediate
return on investment, and I can’t wait to
be involved again next year.”
Justin Tamsett from Active Management
is a perpetual FILEX presenter, supporter
and sponsor, and the organiser behind
the #Connections event that enables
attendees to kick off their FILEX weekend
in a social and relaxed environment. He
had this to say “I’ve been speaking at
FILEX every year since 2002,” he says.
“And that’s because it’s good for my
business. It’s good for me to be involved,
it’s good for me to be present, to share
with others all that I’ve learned, and to
learn from what others share! I haven’t
missed a FILEX and I don’t plan to. It
really is the pinnacle of the Australian
fitness industry calendar.”
Di Galea was one of the almost 200
volunteers required to ensure the event’s
success. Says Di of her first experience
as a FILEX volunteer, “I’m a relatively
new personal trainer and I thought
volunteering at FILEX would help me
gain an even better understanding
of the fitness industry. I was right! The
passion, the inspiration, the energy – it
all exceeded my expectations and
confirmed that I am in exactly the right
place for right now. I had a great time,
learned heaps, made new friends and
can’t wait to be back again next year to
do it all over!”
Network’s Executive Director, Nigel
Champion adds “FILEX 2015 was
an amazing culmination of fitness
education, which saw the convergence
of all aspects of fitness into one
memorable and massive weekend.
The weekend brings together three key
industry events: FILEX; Les Mills Reebok
ONE LIVE, which is attended by more
than 2,000 instructors; and the Fitness &
Health Expo, which has tens of thousands
of visitors over the three days.”
In 2016, FILEX and the Fitness & Health
Expo will be once again held in
Melbourne, from 29 April to 1 May. To find
