New ideas pass through three periods: 1) It can’t be done. 2) It probably can be done, but it’s not worth doing. 3) I knew it was a good idea all along!

What trainers say
” It’s been a great way to reward my clients for doing a great job and it has bought me new clients! I started with just 1 entrant in the first competition and went on to have 11 in my 2nd comp and I’ve now done a 3rd”

” this is a great initiative for trainers…they’ve got nothing to lose by being involved…every trainer should be doing this”.
Jean Scott, one of New Zealand’s leading trainers, a presenter at GetNZActive and with Les Mills, guest tutor at CPIT and finalist in the Fitness Life Awards.
“20 weeks is a realistic time frame – the reality of life. As a trainer it gives me time to support clients in looking at their often life time of habits and beliefs and how to change them.”
Carol Hides, 2007 Winner of the Fitness Life Award, South Island, Up and Coming Personal Trainer, and winner of the Catch Fitness Best Trainer Award in Series 4.
“I was a new trainer and I found out about the competition a week before it started and decided to give it a go.
I emailed people that were not my clients with the promotional poster from the Catch Fitness site. (Anyone can do this – so there was no risk) and within one day I had seven new people sign up with me as their personal trainer!
Within a week I had three more, plus four others that they did not sign up to this competition but still signed up to personal training with me.
All these people phoned me. I didn’t have to chase anyone. I got fourteen new clients from just one email” Dwayne Thomas, two time winner of the Catch Fitness Best Trainer Award.
“…also a great challenge for trainers… expanding on their knowledge, being creative, while gaining experience , seeing the clients results,all with support from Catch Fitness throughout!”
Michaela Knusden, Finalist in the Fitness Life Awards seen here with one of her clients, Jean (70 years).
“this was a great away to increase the support that we could offer to our personal trainers in terms of helping them secure clients….our trainers have really jumped on board with it..”
Women In Motion – Fitness Facility in Christchurch – Fitness Life Award Runner Up for Small Club of the Year, South Island – 2009.
“Being part of the 20 week challenge as a trainer has been great for my business and personal development. I didn’t realise I was on the CatchFitness website as a recommended trainer until a lady contacted me through the website looking for a trainer for the 20 week challenge. She has now achieved her goal for this challenge and is signing up again and two of her friends are going to do it with her.
Another couple also contacted me through the website and will be doing the next challenge. This has been a truly valuable form of advertising so thanks CatchFitness team I am very grateful for the service you provide us trainers.”
