Be part of a challenge that will motivate you, help you support a good cause & increase your fitness at the same time! We challenge you to walk, shuffle, jog or run up to 15 minutes each day on the treadmill and to pledge 50 cents per kilometer that you walk, shuffle, jog or run. You can even get sponsorship from your family, friends and work mates. The further you go in 15 minutes, the more you raise. The more often you work out, the more you raise. And all the money you raise will help fight Breast and Prostate Cancer. Every time you complete the 15 minute challenge you gain an entry in the prize draw for a pair of Brooks running shoes (valued at $259) – thanks to the Athlete’s Foot, Macquarie Centre. Plus you will gain additional chances to win the shoes for every $5 you donate and when purchasing ‘Pink Ribbon’ merchandise from the Front Desk. We need you & we challenge you to show your support. Help us raise money for Breast & Prostate Cancer and you will get healthier at the same time! You can join in the fun at any time during October! The sooner you join, the greater the challenge and the more money you will help raise. To join the fun chat with any of the Team or email Duncan now

The Best Times To Work Out Are . . .
My advice to all our members and potential members would be to make exercise apart of your life as it will be much easier for you to commit to a long term program that will benefit your health and fitness! Some people associate being fit with the need to maintain a very strict way of life or they equate health with total fasting as if they were a saint. In the past, people have looked at me when I’ve eaten “unhealthy food”(I prefer to call it “every now and then food”) they look at me like I’ve committed a crime because I exercise 5 times a week, am fit, and work in Health and Fitness. This is because they associate being fit with the need to totally abstain from all “bad foods”. Don’t try and obsess to achieve your goals. Try to have a structured plan that allows you to say “no” when you have to and allows you to say “yes” without guilt when you want to. Your challenge is to get the right plan, motivation and support. Get good advice and life and exercise will become much easier.
Welcome to the people who have decided to get ready for summer by starting with their own Results Coach this month:

Everyone involved group regular training sessions, nutritional advice, a pedometer program, eating plans, mentoring and two30-minute remedial massages. We are so confident these people will see results in the 6 weeks that we will give them 100% of their money back if they don’t! Coming Soon – the Beat Silly Season Program! To find out more email Duncan or chat with him on your visit to the club.
Your Motivation From A Member Like You!
I joined Active Health Club about 2 years ago the first time. I started going to the gym regularly, and worked with Av as a personal trainer. I began to feel fitter and healthier. Having an illness such as cancer creates all kinds of havoc with your body, your confidence, your self-esteem and your overall outlook. So I stopped my membership. My husband, who had become a gym junkie once he stated working out at Active Health Club, finally convinced me that re-joining the gym would help get be back in shape, both physically and emotionally…for my birthday he signed me up to the gym and to a personal trainer, Duncan. In the beginning, the going was so slow. I struggled through PT and struggled through that required extra effort. Since then, I am much more constant with my PT and I try to work out at least 5 times a week, whether at the gym or just doing walks where I time myself. One of the most important things about my road back to better health and fitness was the constant support that I received from Av, Duncan and the staff at Active Health. Everyone was so encouraging, supportive and cheered me during the many days I just wanted to quit…always encouraging me to keep trying. I really believe that going to a gym, working out and having personal trainers is just one part to the success of people who want to get healthy. Being able to stay committed to getting healthy, requires the support, encouragement and the positive outlook from both personal trainers and staff. At Active Health you definitely get that!! I am once again motivated, I have my confidence back and I definitely have a much better outlook on life.’ Thank Bonnie for your inspiring words!

Aimee told us, “When I listened to Michelle Bridges presentation it reminded me how important your heart rate was for achieving results. So if you are serious about getting fitter and healthier, listen to your body with the Polar FS3C.” The Polar Heart rate monitors are an effective way to track and record your heart rate over the course of an entire workout. Not only do heart monitors provide you with a complete record of your heart rate for the duration of your workout, but they are also more accurate than manual methods. If you would like your own heart rate monitor, chat with me or Nathan. This month you can get one from us for just $134 ~ saving you $15!
