During COVID-19, Fitness Australia has been consistently advocating on behalf of the industry to get gyms to reopen and to promote the mental and physical health benefits of keeping active and exercising regularly. Putting the wellbeing and interest of our members first remains Fitness Australia’s top priority, which is why the following membership offer has been extended to provide financial assistance when it matters.

CEO Barrie Elvish said the impact of COVID-19 had been devastating for the fitness industry and as the peak industry association it was important to support members as much as possible.

Mr Elvish said:

“The fitness industry has been impacted considerably throughout COVID-19, our Victorian members, in particular, are still feeling the full effects of closures. Fitness Australia is not only committed to advocating on behalf of the industry but also on supporting members with financial concessions where we can, to help them get back on track.”

“Our commitment to our members and the broader community has never been stronger – the vital role gyms and fitness facilities play in our community cannot be underestimated and we need to ensure these businesses can survive these difficult times.”

Extended relief for Victorian business members and sole traders

Fitness Australia has extended the current two months free membership offer to four months to enable business members and sole traders in Victoria further relief as the state slowly works its way out of lockdown.

The membership extension will be automatically applied to applicable existing Fitness Australia memberships.

New business and sole trader members can also take advantage of the two months of free membership offer by contacting Fitness Australia directly to create a new account.
