The Future in Flooring is here...

Impact absorption is the most important priority when selecting a floor for a high impact fitness activity. This is the main point of difference between a traditional sprung timber floor and a Regupol Composite Floor.

A traditional sprung timber floor will only deflect in response to a large weight rebounding concurrently (area elastic deflection), a Regupol Composite Floor offers individual deflection (point elastic deflection) for each patron according to their body mass.

Come and see for yourself at the Australian Fitness & Health Expo, we are at Stand L44.

PROFILE


Fit Fundamentals
Rushcutters Bay, NSW

My name is Michael, I'm a fun, health-conscious person and I started this company because I was tired of seeing people start a fitness program with good intentions but drop out shortly after because they didn't know what to do or they were bored. I wanted to start a fitness program that was just as much about feeling good as it was about looking good. A program that was focused on living a healthy balanced lifestyle, including exercise and proper nutrition, but also finding time to rest, relax and rejuvenate with friends and family. 

I like getting to know my clients, not just by name. I'll get to know their lifestyle, the things they don't like, and more importantly the things they do. Its not about just being another name at Fit Fundamentals. 

Our classes are supportive but non-intimidating. We educate on how to lead a healthy active lifestyle, while creating a fun and social environment.

Zumba Shakes The Weight Of PPCA Royalties.
(press release)

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: Zumba Fitness has today announced the timely exemption of its Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) music from the hefty royalties of the Phonographic Performance Company of Australia (PPCA).
 
As gymnasiums and fitness centres around Australia nervously await the inevitable rate rise from PPCA, Chief Executive Officer of Zumba Fitness, Mr Alberto Perlman, said Zumba's original productions and royalty-free-covers offered gyms and fitness centres an economical alternative.
 
"Zumba Fitness offers what we call the Zumba Instructor Network (ZIN) - a system comprised of the most committed Zumba instructors from around the world. The Network provides instructors with access to a range of original Zumba music and royalty-free-covers - exempting gyms from the heavy licensing fees of PPCA."

"Zumba music is created by some of the world's greatest musical talent - Grammy award winning producers who have fashioned music for internationally renowned artists. It is fresh, original and energetic - combining Latin flavour with international zest," Perlman said.
 
Perlman said Zumba charges no licensing fees to clubs but advised owners and managers to be diligent about sourcing the right instructors to ensure they are using Zumba Instructor Network music.
