We’re excited to announce a Field Day in collaboration with Virgin Active on Friday, June 13th, aimed at strengthening our partnership and giving students valuable hands-on experience in a commercial fitness setting. We’ve also had some brilliant class presentations from Aus Active and Simplicity PT, offering insights into the fitness industry and career pathways. In addition, our students have been actively engaging with our educators’ gym, BFT Mascot, gaining real-world experience through shadowing sessions—an excellent step toward building confidence and competence in a gym environment. **Penrith Update** Things are full throttle at our Penrith location, where educator Brent leads the way with full-time and part-time students. He’s been delivering top-notch guidance on safe gym workout procedures and effective use of functional equipment. With Brent and Taylor at the helm, students are always in great hands—learning, practicing, and thriving in an excellent gym environment. **Parramatta Update** Our Parramatta students have been thriving as they wrap up their Certificate IV studies. They’ve enjoyed insightful class chats with Fitness First and the Wellness Department, and adding the wonderful Bass and newcomer Lisa CC has brought fresh energy to the mix. New students have joined us on campus, bringing great vibes and enthusiasm. Last month, the class celebrated fantastic results, with many successfully securing jobs in the fitness industry! **Newcastle Update** Dani D has recently taken the reins at Newcastle and hit the ground running! Our team delivered a sensational performance at the Hunter Valley Careers Expo, engaging with schools and inspiring the next generation of fitness professionals. We also connected with our affiliates, visiting iGym Kurri Kurri, AirLocker, FitStop, and Anytime Fitness locations across the area. Meanwhile, our full-time and part-time students have officially kicked off their Certificate III studies—an exciting start to a promising journey!
