Local News
October month was a massive month for Step into Life. We launched our new brand. Our franchisees changed over all their equipment and uniforms and all the new marketing and advertising material was released to the public for the first time. As you can imagine every single item within the Step into Life range that had the orange sun printed, embroidered or screen printed had to be changed. It was a huge logistical exercise by any stretch of the imagination. We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all our Franchisees; trainers and staff for the tremendous effort they all put in, in helping the change over to the new brand run so smoothly and efficiently. With out their help this exercise would have been a much more difficult task to manage. Another special thank you needs to be conveyed to all those members who sent us messages of support by e mail, telephone or fax. Thank you for your support and well wishes. It was truly amazing to see the number of members who took the time to drop us a line congratulating Step into Life and wishing us all the best for the new logo and the brand. I was once given advise by a very successful business man who told me that in order to be successful in business you need to surround yourself with good people. Continued on page 2

Who are the State Managers? John Pidgeon Step into Life South Australia I looked at the Step into Life business opportunity whilst I was working in Horsham in 2002. I was already working outdoors with my job and wanted to find a business that kept me outdoors whilst staying in the Fitness Industry. I saw Adelaide as a huge opportunity as at the time, there were no Step into Life venues in SA. I decided to move over and launch Step into Life in SA the following year and have not looked back. I now run Step into Life West Lakes as well as managing the state which includes helping and support the 11 Franchise venues in SA and growing the state. What a life, helping clients achieve their goals and also helping like minded business owners achieve their business goals!! What was I doing before and my qualifications? Qualifications: Bachelor of Teaching (Phys Ed major), Certificate 3 and 4 in Fitness, Level 1 Football Coach. Previous experience: 5 years as a Phys Ed teacher at Horsham West Primary School, 2 years Zone Officer for the Victorian Primary School Sports Association, 2 yrs Nth Ballarat Rebels Fitness Advisor, Assistant Coach Kalkee Football Club 2 yrs.
Cathy Stacey Step into Life Victoria I really love my job. When I first heard about Step into Life I wanted to own 10 (yes ten!) franchises! Then Larry offered me the State of Victoria as my territory which meant instead of running my own franchises I could do what I love best and that is to help support and develop other franchisees businesses. The best thing about it is that I have an awesome team in our office that includes my business partner Elsa, who brings a huge smile to the office when she is there, Sheila who is my right hand man, Ruth who is the report Queen and Simon who handles our merchandise with precision. Every day is different with 38 different Franchisees with differing needs and personalities it is a very challenging, inspiring and rewarding world to be in!

HAVING A BALL!
249 excited and excitable members of the Step into Life family clients and partners, trainers and special guests attended the inaugural Step into Life Spring Ball st in Melbourne on October 21 . And what a Ball they had! How lovely to see the results of all the hard work in training sessions we were an elegantly turned out group of beautiful people! During our delicious three course meal we were introduced to the clients nominated for the Super Achiever and Dead Keen Awards, as well as the Trainers who had been nominated by clients for the Trainer of the Year Award.
Matt, Michelle, Aleasha & Aaron all dressed up at the ball ~ we had to wear a tie and everything! Thank you to the members who got together to organize and write a fantastic nomination for the trainer of the year award. I appreciate it heaps! Lets get us all down there next year to make loud noises and cheers for our Keysborough group!
We danced to the easy sounds of Blue Remedy, and through the evening clients won an array of door prizes generously sponsored by Subaru, Rock Portrait Photography, New Balance, Sky High Restaurant and Gloss Beauty Therapy. Tension mounted, then turned to rapturous applause as the five finalists in each category were announced . . . Robyn Carmichael of Croydon was the judges choice for SUPER ACHIEVER 2006. And Patty Etchell of Chelsea, topped a tough cast for the DEAD KEEN AWARD 2006. Hearty Congratulations ladies! We are proud of your achievements and great attitude. Cathy Stacey, Victorian Master Franchisee put her trainers through enormous strain as she drew out the proceedings counting down to the Trainer of the Year. Submissions from clients were heartfelt in their praise and appreciation the judges had no easy task but the Thornbury Thumpers got their Trainer over the line to become our first ever client-nominated Trainer of the Year. Bravo Nicky Dean!!! For once Nicky was almost speechless, but her clients took over the stage in delight and proudly and loudly performed their rap classic Hawthorn client, Steve McGrath of Rock Portrait Photography, was the official photographer for the night see some great moments by following the link: http://www.rockportrait.com.au/sales/061021_stepintolife/ index.html A great night was had by all.

Members started off at week one with a challenge. Each week after that they build on those challenges, adding a new challenge each week. They complete the same challenges each week and add a new one each week. It was designed to develop a habit/s. Members scored points for all the tasks completed. Honour System applied. If members completed ALL the tasks for a week, then they MUST reward themselves with a TREAT. The idea is to learn to reward yourself with a non-food treat, and improve your sense of well-being. Every 50 points earned gave members one entry into a Draw to win a mystery prize. Awards to the top 3.
