16-10-2011 - Step into Life Mini Olympics
On a very warm Perth Sunday morning in October, over 200 excited members along with their equally excited trainers, converged on the picturesque Sir James Mitchell Park on the South Perth foreshore over looking the city to compete in various FUN Events. Everyone came dressed up representing their venue with some great costumes seen.
Each venue had a team of 10 or more members ready to compete in the rotation of Fun Events.
Teams were assembled and enlightened about the fun games they were about to embark on. . There were lots of laughs with events such as Tunnell Ball, Egg and Spoon Race, Bean Bag Relay and many more. For those members keen for a little healthy competition there was a Star Relay with each team sprinting to try and win the winners point towards their total.
The highlight of the day for the members was the Dress the Trainer Competition which saw a team of 10 people dressing unusual clothing items on their trainer in the quickest time. This was definately a sight to be seen.
A Fun day was had by all with the victorious South Perth team taking out the Champions Trophy on the day. We look forward so continuing this great fun event next year seeing even more of our Members coming down to enjoy the event.

06-04-2011 - 100km Oxfam Trailwalker
Congratulations to all Franchisees and their members that completed the 100km Oxfam Trailwalker.
Their challenge? To walk (or run) 100km within 48 hours, as a team of four!
Oxfam TRAILWALKER is the world's greatest team challenge. And it's also one of the toughest. The challenge is to get your team of four across 100km of Australian bush in less than 48 hours - and collectively, to raise at least $1,000 to help to overcome poverty and suffering around the world.
Each team must commit to raising at least $1,000 to support Oxfam's work in 29 countries including Indigenous Australia. Fundraising is a challenge, but it's also great fun! Step into Life Heidelberg who also participated raised $3170!! Well done team!
A total amount of $2,454,958 was raised!
Check out the pic of the Step into Life Glen Iris team at the finish line - Well done for completing the challenge!
25-02-2011 - Transformation Challenge Winner - Liz Bailey!
The 12 week Transformation Challenge has finished and our participants smashed their goals!
Both Liz and Terry were surprised of what they could achieve in that short period of time.
Liz told us that the key to her losing 13kgs (goal was 11) was “the exercise”. Yes what she was eating also influenced her results but the main point that worked for her was the exercise.
Liz’s three sessions per week and being committed to it is what made the difference – and having an awesome trainer! She also loved the group dynamics and the social aspect of the ‘other ladies’ encouraging her and inspiring her.
Jamil from Step into Life Croydon did a great job at being that awesome trainer – thanks Jamil!
Liz was also saying that 12 weeks ago she couldn’t even run to the end of her driveway – now she can run 3kms (in hilly Croydon) non stop!
A big thank you to David from Step into Life Mordialloc who trained Terry. Terry did a great job in achieving his goals!
A special mention to our sponsors for their great support.
