I’m sitting here in our brand new offi ce writing this just before the magazine is due to go to print and there’s so much going on
at the moment I’m not even sure where to begin! But, as usual, I’ll try and summarise what’s going on with us – and with you – in
a few brief points.
This month a new reality has set in for the fi tness industry, particularly if group exercise features on the timetable at your
facility. With the Copyright Tribunal’s disappointing ruling that it will now cost up to $15 per class to use original artist music,
a fundamental shift will take place. Here at Network our TRAX Music brand, which has been producing music for more than
20 years, has prepared for this eventuality by building a full range of PPCA license-free music for use in a wide range of group
exercise classes. Available now, visit www.traxmusic.com.au to listen to and buy the music.
After the amazing success of our elite Group Exercise Summit in November of last year, our events department is in the
planning stages for this year’s event, which we hope to be bringing to a city near you sometime in August. With plans to take
the Summit to more cities and cover material that last year’s attendees asked for in their feedback, this is a great CEC and
education opportunity that Network’s passionate group exercise members will not want to miss.
As if that wasn’t enough, we will also be launching our fi rst ever personal trainer summit, in a similar format to its group
exercise cousin. Featuring one educator and a short session with maximum take home value, it is a great chance to learn from
the best and earn CECs in the process! Be sure to watch out for more information on both the PT and Group Exercise Summits
coming your way late this winter.
Although our events don’t go beyond these shores, Network’s reach can still be felt
far and wide. Thanks to long-time member Dee Boys for sending this snap of herself f
perusing the pages of the Autumn issue of Network – while fl oating in the Dead Sea off
the coast of Jordan! Where will our magazine end up next…?
On that note I’ll sign off by saying it was great to catch up with a lot of you at FILEX EX
this year! It was our biggest and best event ever and that is all thanks to YOU, our
members.
Healthily yours,
Ryan Hogan, Membership and Sales Manager
