CANCELLATIONS - INDEPENDENTS - RETENTION - CHURN BURN.
Three of the hottest conversational topics.

Has the fitness industry created a churn-and-burn culture—where we've become better at replacing members than retaining them?

Are some of our joining offers actually creating tomorrow's cancellations?

Where should independents invest 5k into their business?

Will I see you in the audience for these thought - provoking panels?

Who remembers the LIFE BE IN IT Campaign to get more Australians active? Is it time to bring back Norm?

Life. Be in it.’ was the slogan for what became one of the best-known health promotions in Australian history. The campaign aimed to increase physical activity and general wellbeing among Australians, and encourage them to take control of their health.
Life. Be in it.

‘Life. Be in it.’ was a Victorian Government health initiative launched in 1975 by the Department of Youth, Sport and Recreation, with support from the federal government.
It aimed to educate the Australian public about exercise in a fun, non-threatening way.

In 1977, the State Minister for Youth, Sport and Recreation, Brian Dixon, claimed that 97 per cent of Victorians were aware of the campaign, 47 per cent were thinking about becoming more active, and 35 per cent had become more active.

Today the ‘Life. Be in it.’ brand is managed by the private company Life. Be in it. International Pty Ltd.
