THE BAR

Issue 6

WELCOME TO ISSUE 6 OF RAISING THE BAR

Hey everyone

So how about 2020, then? I’m pretty sure none of us expected this year to pan out how it did!

In this issue we’ve got a great combination of tips and info to help you stay motivated, inspired and charging ahead.

Plus, you’ll hear from the first of our FITREC DNA Ambassadors and share in the many and varied experiences of some of our regional fitness businesses
in Victoria, who are now out of their extended lockdown (at the time of writing this, they are – fingers crossed at the time of reading they still remain so!).

With the new year almost upon us, I’m sure we’ll all appreciate any time we get to spend with our loved ones. I wish you and your family a safe, healthy and relaxing time together – goodness knows, we’ve sure earned it!
