MESSAGE FROM EXERCISE NEW ZEALAND

One of the best things about large conferences is multiple streams running at the same time. This gives attendees the opportunity to pick sessions and topics that interest them, and provides them with the most value. Attendees can also pick & choose sessions to provide their own variety on both subject material and presenters.

This year we have focused on ensuring that the broad variety of topics and presenters continues to deliver for the increasingly diverse exercise industry that we serve - everyone from Yoga teachers and wellness coaches to PTs and step instructors, as well as a whole new focus on those that work in the industry, but not in exercise roles - so sessions for salespeople through to club managers.

Within each of the roles mentioned, we also realise there is huge diversity in interests and needs, so topics range from the latest in research into exercise (and the trends that come with that) through to the business tools needed to be a success in the 21st century, balanced off with the latest in mind-body it’s all here @ FitEx 2016.

We are also very excited to be launching a number of new initiatives, including the Women in Leadership Luncheon, where the line up of inspirational women in our industry is in itself a testament to the amazing industry we work in.

We’re also pleased to ‘return home’ and be able to offer on-site accommodation at the AUT Student Village again this year (something that wasn’t possible in the last two years), which will be great news for those from out of Auckland.

Looking forward to catching up with our regulars, as well as welcoming those new to FitEx 2016!

Want to run a wellbeing retreat with WOW factor? Keen to take a group of your clients away for an incredible experience? Do you want your clients to achieve breakthroughs not just physically, but with their thoughts and emotions? Discover Lauren Parsons’ step by step guide to running a successful retreat.

Is your website just an online “brochure” that gets few visitors? Do you write great articles that nobody reads?

Have you written a post that never gets any first page Google love? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this workshop is for you. Static brochure websites might give you presence on the web, but the only visitors that will find it are those looking for you.

LISA CHAMPION

An independent powerful and promotable quality mark The latest resources and tools for trainers and facilities Your licence to work around the world Crucial insurance protection for Contractors A MEMBER OF:

MSc (exercise science), M (counselling), Grad. Dip. (EFT)

Lisa is a multi-talented educator, counsellor, exercise professional and author. In her role as a director of the Australian Fitness Network, she has had a positive influence on the development of the fitness industry in Australia for more than 27 years.

As an exercise therapist, Lisa specialised in working with people with chronic pain issues. Seeing the strong link between chronic pain and emotion, she pursued a counselling degree to better inform her work. This journey led to the commencement of a private counselling practice where she now works to help her clients grow and make positive changes through better self-awareness and understanding.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: THE POWER OF CONNECTION Having great technical skills, being up to date on the latest fitness research and running great, stateof-the-art programs are all essential for fitness professionals, but did you realise that relationships are the ultimate key to helping people feel empowered to change? Social media pulls us away from face-to-face connection, but we are hard-wired to be in relationship with one another.

The relationships you form with your clients, members, staff and colleagues can be powerful platforms for change. Did you know that showing kindness and empathy to others are keys to improved health and happiness? Did you realise that research proves that being compassionate towards others can protect against disease and increase lifespan?
