Who is Fitness New Zealand? We are the industry association for the health & fitness industry. Fitness New Zealand (FitnessNZ) is a non profit organisation committed to working on behalf of our members – New Zealand’s fitness and exercise facilities. Our members comprise of approximately 250 facilities (75% of the health club industry) and includes private fitness clubs, public leisure centres, together with educational and corporate establishments with fitness facilities. All the industry leaders are members of FitnessNZ: Les Mills, YMCA, cityfitness, Club Physical, Auckland City Council Leisure Services, Jetts, and many more! Members pay an annual subscription to receive ongoing advice, business support and the recognition associated with the backing of a trade association. Established in 1993, FitnessNZ has developed a strong relationship with club owners and with this comes the reassurance that our communications are read, and our resources and projects are highly valued.
What can Fitness New Zealand do for you? Put your information in front of the decision makers of the industry With our high standing both within the industry and with government agencies, together with our extensive and up to date database, we are able to offer suppliers a great avenue for marketing their brand and networking with key decision makers. FitnessNZ members are fitness facility owners, gym managers, general managers and other decision making personnel. As a paying member, they do read materials that we send them, which means that your advertising will be seen! We communicate regularly with our members via email, telephone, and by sending regular letters and newsletters. We also hold regular meetings ranging from relatively informal meetings of club operators, through to full day business summits, and a large annual conference, and the highly prestigious annual industry awards. All of these meetings include items of interest to fitness centre managers and owners, providing an excellent opportunity for you to communicate to this target market.
Customisation We can customise opportunities so they meet your needs Almost all of FitnessNZ’s sponsorship opportunities can be customised and personalised to meet your needs. In addition FitnessNZ can even host an entirely new event for you, or facilitate the development of a new project/resource with your name on it.

Preferred Supplier Programme A programme for honest and reputable suppliers only FitnessNZ operates a Preferred Supplier programme, in which suppliers that take part, and agree to follow the Preferred Supplier codes, are recommended by FitnessNZ to the industry. In addition to producing an electronic directory of Preferred Suppliers that is distributed to every fitness/ exercise facility in the country, Preferred Suppliers are issued with the Preferred Supplier logo which they may use on external marketing material. FitnessNZ recommends to all fitness centres that they use Preferred Suppliers where ever possible, and FitnessNZ itself chooses to only have Preferred Suppliers at key industry events (such as Business Grow, FitEX Conference, Filex drinks etc). The important concept behind the Preferred Supplier programme, is that it is NOT a “yellow pages” of suppliers to the fitness industry. It is a list of suppliers that FitnessNZ recommends to the industry, since these suppliers agree to ‘play by the rules’ and follow an industry code. For this reason all Preferred Suppliers receive the same size ad, in the same format, and pay the same price. it’s not a competition to see who can have the largest ad (like the yellow pages) or the largest display (like some trade shows). Becoming a Preferred Supplier is the starting point should a supplier wish to be involved with any of Fitness New Zealand’s events. So to be involved in any industry event (such as BusinessGrow, or the FitEX Conference or even just sponsoring drinks @ Filex in Sydney), Preferred Supplier status is a pre-requisite. Preferred Suppliers are also regarded as our key partners in delivering these events and invited to take part in them. We also work with our partners to maximise the benefits they receive from being a Preferred Supplier.
What is involved in being a Preferred Supplier Becoming a Preferred Supplier is an application process. As a part of the application progress, suppliers agree to follow the Preferred Supplier code of ethics (which lists a number of criteria) along with any specific requirements for the products or services being offered (all these requirements are available from FitnessNZ). Once approved FitnessNZ issues the supplier with the certificate, copy of the Preferred Supplier logo, and collects in information for inclusion in the Preferred Supplier directory. The directory is updated several times a year, so suppliers can apply anytime, and new suppliers are simply added to the next edition.
Investment The Investment is the standard FitnessNZ annual membership, which in 2012 is $480+gst This provides a full page listing under one category in the Preferred Supplier Directory. Additional pages under different categories can be purchased for $250+gst per listing. NB: The Preferred Supplier status is given to the organisation, not the category/listing, so regardless of how many listings the supplier chooses to have, the entire organisation is regarded as a Preferred Supplier. Any additional pages/listings are simply a mechanism allowing the supplier to show to potential customers the different range of products and services it can provide.

Events/Networking Opportunities The opportunity to be face to face with decision makers within the industry. Networking Drinks Filex (Sydney) and IHRSA (Las Vegas) are two of the fitness industry’s most prestigious and well attended international conferences. FitnessNZ encourages key club owners to attend, and invites them to join us for networking drinks during one of the evenings. Opportunities exist to sponsor the drinks, thus giving you the chance to socialise and network with decision makers in a more informal setting.

Other Organisations Personal Trainers’ Council of New Zealand A voice for personal trainers
In 2008 FitnessNZ supported the development of the Personal Trainers Council (PT Council) of New Zealand. The PT Council is now established, and FitnessNZ is providing the ongoing administrative support for this organisation. As a part of this support all sponsorship arrangements are co-ordinated by FitnessNZ. Ongoing sponsorship opportunities exist to support the PT Council which provides sponsors with both online promotion (on the web site), as well as recognition at PT Council’s forums nationwide. Note: The PT Council works closely with FitnessNZ and the NZ Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) on significant issues effecting the industry and trainers.

Industry Awards The fitness industry awards are an annual event, which started in 2005 (run by FitnessLife from 2005-2009), recognising excellence in the exercise and fitness industry. The awards have a number of categories, for both individuals and facilities that operate in the fitness/exercise industry, as well as special awards for those outside the industry showing a commitment to health and wellness through exercise. With the exception of two awards, all awards are based on an application process that is reviewed by a judging panel, with finalists (preannounced) and winners announced at a formal awards ceremony. The award ceremony itself is extremely prestigious, and guest speakers have included the politicians the Hon John Key, Hon Rodney Hide, Hon Murray McCully and Sue Kedgeley. The award ceremony ’s MC is fitness and media personality Suzie Clarkson. The awards receive extensive media coverage both leading up to the event (in FitnessLife magazine) and after the event (in 2010 several newspapers ran articles on the awards and the winners). The event itself is a black tie dinner, and has over 350 guests made up of industry leaders, award finalists, and those interested in celebrating the success of our industry. The awards also include a guest VIP (often a politician).
