Kim Vidler is our February Member of the Month

Kim was selected as she is always cheerful, excited & happy when she enters the club, she always enjoys having a chat and she loves coming to the club. She trains weekly with Av and has improved her body shape! The fantastic results she has achieved are a direct result of her commitment.

Congratulations Kim!

Why do strength training?

The importance of lifting weights cannot be underestimated. No matter your age or sex, strength training will:

• Help speed up your metabolism – aiding in weight loss;
• Strengthen the body and all it components in case you fall;
• Help tone the muscles; and
• Lots more reasons!

So let us explain these with you face to face this month by having a program upgrade completed. To get your program reviewed call the club now on 9870 8775 or email us with your preferred day and time. Click here

Staying Active when Injured!

Do you suffer from back pain, shin soreness or any little niggles? These small niggles don’t have to stop you from working out.

Robyn is our physio in the Club. She has over 15 years experience as a physio and she will help you fix the niggles and keep you working out!

Her hours are:

• Mondays 1:30 to 8:30pm
• Tuesdays 7:30 to 2:30pm
• Wednesdays 7:30 to 10am
• Thursdays 1:30 to 8pm
• Fridays 7:30 to 1:30pm

Robyn is also available to come to your workplace to conduct ergonomic assessments of work stations and seminars to staff on OH&S issues.

Rebates for your treatments are available through your private health insurance.

To make an appointment: see Robyn on your next visit; chat with the Front Desk Team or call the Club on 9870 8775.

Catherine Moves to London!

We are always unhappy when we lose a Team Member and Catherine will be sorely – literally – missed by members and the Team. Catherine has accepted a once in a lifetime opportunity to take up a 3 month contract with a London soccer Team as their massage therapist.

We are hoping that Catherine will return in 3 months but with Europe on her door step, she could well get the travel bug!

Please join us in wishing her well on her new challenge!

And for regular massage clients . . . don’t panic we’ll have a new therapist by the end of the month. Catherine is “testing” all our applicants!

Avril is Inspirational!

Avril Henry has been a member of Active for over 10 years and last year she realised one of her dreams. In February 2006, she was invited to participate in the Inaugral New York Half Marathon, so without stating the obvious, she set herself the goal to travel to her favourite city in the world!

Avril completed the run in 2.5 hours, which was a great effort considering she is an international key note speaker, an independent business owners and had bronchitis just weeks before!

Now she has a new goal the 2007 New York Marathon! She is personal training with Chris and is on her way!

The message for you – when you set a goal it makes it easier to stay motivated to train! Why not sit down with one of our Team and set your 2007 goals! We are here to help you like we helped Avril!

Nutritional Update

A new addition to our newsletter comes from our Team Member, Holly. She is currently studying nutrition and this month has put together a great article on exposing the Glycaemic Index! To see the article click here.

Member Appreciation Breakfast

Last month we took a group of members to breakfast just to say ‘thanks’ for being a member. Here is just some photos.

Every couple of months, we will randomly select members to join us for breakfast. Keep your eyes open for your invitation and we really hope you can join us.
