CHRISTMAS GREETINGS

FIT is an amazing organisation and we each receive a range of benefits from being a member of the FIT team.

There have been many achievements throughout the year however the key message I hear is how FIT has enriched our lives.  Finding the motivation to get up at an ungodly hour especially in winter to exercise is hard YET we keep doing it and most surprisingly enjoying ourselves – especially over coffee at the end of our session.

The biggest THANK YOU has to go to FIT volunteers:

• our very professional and committed team of coaches who develop and run training sessions to meet the needs of all participants from beginners to elite athletes; and

• our team of volunteers, not always visible who ensure FIT continues to run as a safe and professional organisation. These include the teams who keep us up to date through the FIT Flash and Facebook, organise training venues, breakfasts and parties, assist at events and the numerous tasks that are required.

Congratulations to all of you who have achieved your personal fitness goals in 2017.  Whether it was learning a new skill, maintaining your fitness, attaining a goal or receiving a medal.

FIT’s goal is to provide a fun, non-competitive sports training environment for ALL women and in 2018 there are a range of programs to ensure that we continue to meet the changing needs of our participants.  These include Rookie Running, Swimming Long Program, Next Steps Triathlon program and training for the Australian Running Festivals.  And remember that training continues throughout the holiday season.

Best Wishes from the FIT Committee for a safe and happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.
