I still take a Seniors exercise class in Sumner, Christchurch (same class for 14 years) and am proudly part of theActive Canterbury Network which consists of a bunch of inspiring people pulling together to make positive changes for our community..
The 20 Weeks Body & Lifestyle Competition was a project which I had set almost impossibly high goals with, where priority one was the long term success of its entrants without using any gizmos or gimmicks or costing any one a fortune.
Trialing it we knew PTs were essential to its success i.e. expert, individual advice and not a day goes by when I don’t appreciate all the hard efforts of all those PTs put in to see their clients succeed.

Catch Fitness would not exist but for all the great personal trainers that inspired us to set it up and we could not have made it to today without the great advice, help and support of people like Jo Kent, Jean Scott, Aron Anderson, Phil Benoit, Kris Tynan, Carol Hides, Tarsh Guy, Desra Barron, Amanda Armitage, Leanne Thomas, Lyn Walker, Russell Graham and Mike Catton, who really got behind it from it’s early stages as did our initial entrants who helped us pilot this project and iron out all the details.
In the times that followed we have only grown due to the help and support of people like Belinda Edmondston, Tony Curran and Tim Webster and our amazing sponsors inclusive of Elite Fitness, Diamond Mine, Macpac and nWow!.
The biggest thanks must really go however to the two guys who owned Olympus Health and Fitness Centre, Stephen and Richard, who took me on as a gym instructor eons ago and who constantly pushed me (and supported me) to do more in this great industry.
A big thanks must go the Greenwoods who have ensured I have a beautiful office with ocean views to work from for a whole year.
Thanks to all of you, we are now going into the 9th successful series of the 20 Week Body & Lifestyle Competition.
