2010 AFIS Partners

Without the support of our industry partners the 2010 Australian Fitness Industry Survey would not have been as informative and extensive as it will be. 


Active Management

Active Management is the brain child of Justin – as if he needed another challenge in his life!

Since beginning his career in 1988 he has found that Club owners around the world face many challenges – many of which he has faced owning 2 health clubs and having over 60 staff. These challenges are very similar, so to help owners and managers do a better job Active Management was developed.

This is a service that we can share with you to make your business successful and profitable. We can share with you real life success stories but also mistakes that have been made and how to avoid them.
