At a time when clubs are looking for ways to decrease spend yet add diversity to their programming I can honestly say Steel Programs has given our club a point of difference. They have also given our trainers the flexibility to be diverse in an ever changing marketing yet staying true to the product.

Tone-Track will do the same for fitness professionals and educators who create programming and content for our industry. A new platform that gives global opportunities.

Thank you to Nigel, Karen and Chantal for covering the story.

Thank you to everyone who came along to my moderator panels over the last few days at the AusFitness Expo Business Summit. I appreciated your energy for all the sessions. The days are long, but the thirst for more knowledge was there, and I feel there was so much more to talk about and solutions needed for businesses. Always here to help. Maybe I will see you this Friday at our post-show town hall online event.

As I sit and gaze at the view, thinking about what lies ahead for us all, I'd like to thank all the speakers involved for taking the time to support the many gym operators and professionals seeking resources and guidance.

Panellists:- Steve Jensen Impact Training Calum Wilson Penny Evans; Justin "JT" Tamsett; Scott Hunt; Michelle Furniss, GAICD,Youssef Dawoud, Paul Brown (Mr Retention), Matthew Hoo, Kurt Juson, Steff Doney, Steve Grant from Gymhub Heather Jenkinson, Jonathan Davie, Carolyn Morris, and our sparkling Emcee Joey Toutounji. Congratulations to all the winners.

Thank you, Shaun Krenz and the National Media team, for allowing me the privilege to be part of the 2026 event.

A great time was had, but always, like many, good to be back home.

CANCELLATIONS - INDEPENDENTS - RETENTION - CHURN BURN.
Three of the hottest conversational topics.

Has the fitness industry created a churn-and-burn culture—where we've become better at replacing members than retaining them?

Are some of our joining offers actually creating tomorrow's cancellations?

Where should independents invest 5k into their business?

Will I see you in the audience for these thought - provoking panels?

Who remembers the LIFE BE IN IT Campaign to get more Australians active? Is it time to bring back Norm?

Life. Be in it.’ was the slogan for what became one of the best-known health promotions in Australian history. The campaign aimed to increase physical activity and general wellbeing among Australians, and encourage them to take control of their health.
Life. Be in it.

‘Life. Be in it.’ was a Victorian Government health initiative launched in 1975 by the Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation, with support from the federal government.
It aimed to educate the Australian public about exercise in a fun, non-threatening way.

In 1977, the State Minister for Youth, Sport and Recreation, Brian Dixon, claimed that 97 per cent of Victorians were aware of the campaign, 47 per cent were thinking about becoming more active, and 35 per cent had become more active.

Today the ‘Life. Be in it.’ brand is managed by the private company Life. Be in it. International Pty Ltd.
