GOLD AWARDED AGAIN

Dolphins Health Precinct has received a GOLD Quality Award from Fitness Australia for the second year in a row for its proven ability to provide quality service across its business. 

Fitness Australia’s Health and Fitness Industry Quality Awards promote and celebrate industry excellence and the work the fitness industry does in helping Australians get and stay fit and healthy. 

The GOLD Quality Award is granted to a fitness business that has achieved quality in customer service, programs, people, safety and business management. 

”This is the second year that Dolphins Health Precinct have received a GOLD Quality Award - the highest accolade that our industry can award to a fitness provider, and they should be proud of their achievement. Dolphins Health Precinct has maintained their quality service levels over the past 24 months and their customers can be confident that they are with one of the very best fitness providers in the country” said Ms Lauretta Stace, Chief Executive Office of Fitness Australia. 

“We are excited to receive the GOLD Quality Award again for this year, it is a great honour to be recognised by our colleagues for the service we provide to the community” said Justin Charlish, Dolphins Health Precinct Centre Manager. "We have our dedicated and passionate staff to thank, as well as our Members - without who, we wouldn't strive to continually be the best we can."

“Given more than 60% of Australian adults are overweight or obese and with the increase in chronic conditions, we have a vital role to play in the health and fitness of our community. But with this role comes the responsibility providing high quality programs and striving for continuous improvement. This Award is proof that we deliver a quality service and we are committed to raising the bar even higher” said Justin Charlish, Dolphins Health Precinct Centre Manager.

Dolphins Health Precinct Body Overhaul Challenge 2014

The start of February 2014 saw the commencement of DHP’s 12 week Body Overhaul Challenge. 

The Challenge was the first in what will be periodical programs to be run by the DHP Personal Training Department. The challenge took 36 members through a series of educational seminars, and personal training sessions. 

It certainly wasn’t an easy task, and I’m sure for most there were some tough times. Let’s face it changing your habits by developing new ones does not always come easy. But the results at the end of the period are OUTSTANDING to say the least!

Our male runner up was Beau Devine with Craig Althaus taking out the winner’s title.

Our female runner up was Suzanne Bell with Sue Althaus taking out the other winner’s title. It was truly amazing to see a husband and wife not only change their whole lifestyle together but to also be crowned the winners of the DHP Body Overhaul Challenge together.

• In total the whole group lost an incredible 171.40 kilos. 
• Collectively the whole group also lost 971.50 centimetres.

We have to say that we are immensely proud of the achievements of this group. The dedication shown was simply inspirational and we sincerely hope that we have made a change to the lives of these members; changes that they can take away and use for the rest of their lives.

Here are some of the comments from members who took up the challenge:

• “Thanks for the support I got during this challenge from the gym”
• “There was so much to learn and so much knowledge given.”
• “Loved the challenge feeling pumped and motivated to continue”

At Dolphins Health Precinct we are dedicated to making a difference, so if you are keen to take the first step call the team at Dolphins on 3880 3729 and put your name down on our waiting list for details on our next Body Overhaul Challenge!
