Last chance to enter Australian Health and Fitness Industry Quality Awards

Entries for Fitness Australia's 2012 Health and Fitness Industry Quality Awards close this Tuesday.
The Awards are presented annually to recognise, promote and celebrate industry excellence.
They have a rich history of recognising achievement and success within the fitness industry, with previous award recipients being able to celebrate and promote their success with their customers, team and industry peers .
In 2012, Fitness Australia is highlighting the concept of quality in the awards process, believing that this is important for the future development and positioning of the fitness industry. The change to the awards process is also aligned with Fitness Australia's development of the industry quality framework which will continue over the next few years.
Fitness Australia Chief Executive Lauretta Stace explains "quality means different things to different people.
"Any business can offer a quality experience to its clients regardless of its size, market share or range of services. The Quality Awards will cater to industry businesses of all shapes and sizes, from sole traders through to large, multi-service fitness centres."
