THE BAR

Issue 10

WELCOME TO YOUR NEW-LOOK eMAGAZINE

Is 2022 the year of the facelift? It certainly is – for Raising the Bar, that is!

Earlier this year, we asked you – members of the fitness industry – how you prefer to consume information. The consensus was that online, mobile-responsive layouts is the preferred format as it best caters to your on-the-go lifestyles!

Therefore, in the adaptive style that FITREC is known for, your wish = our command; and so, we are ecstatic to unveil the newly formatted Raising the Bar eMagazine!

As always, we welcome your feedback on this new layout (and anything else for that matter), so please don’t hesitate to share what you love, like or loathe about this issue by emailing [email protected].

We look forward to hearing from you and hope you enjoy this new reading experience.
