Edwina Griffin Puts Her Hand Up For Fitness Australia
Eddy has worked in the Fitness industry for over 20 years. She ran her own Fitwomen centre for 18 years winning several business awards and won the Fitness Australia NSW Fitness Professional of the Year in 2010.
Eddy has worked with national franchises in strategic, training and operational roles and now works both mentoring small business owners and training companies in the areas of leadership, change management and conflict resolution. She is a nationally accredited mediator and works in franchise and business mediations and she accredits personal trainers in pregnancy and post-natal fitness with her brand Fitmum.
She is currently involved in partnerships and management of both local and state government programs for getting women active.
Her business experience across various parts of the fitness industry (small business, franchise and government) combined with her years of working in healing and fitness work (which she continues to do) give her a broad perspective on the industry, potential opportunities and collaborations in our industry.
My reason for nominating
I have been involved in the industry for 22 years and it has grown significantly, so I think there are huge opportunities for our industry and I would like to be involved in the strategic direction of our industry. We are a young industry therefore I see the current timing as crucial for the fitness industry to ensure the best reach and to try to also ensure high standards are established and maintained amongst fitness professionals.
I would love the opportunity to work with like-minded professionals to establish good strategic direction and planning.
