THE BIG TRENDS: HEALTH, COMMUNITY AND EXERTAINMENT Health club attendance has become the

biggest adult “sport” in the Western

World. But we have traditionally lacked World. But we have traditionally lacked

the excitement and social engagement

of sports, and behaved more as gyms

than as true health clubs. The faster we

can change that, the bigger our future!

Between 2006-2016 the cost of the American health system will almost double to $4.1 trillion per year*.It seems that our health is

GYMS OR HEALTH CLUBS?

It seems that our health is deteriorating at almost as quickly as these costs are increasing. The current system clearly isn’t working -there’s got to be a better way!

MANA SUSTAINABILITY - GOING GREEN AND HOLISTIC

• Make your community love you• Grow your business• Save money• Save the world!

We are currently running out of resources, from fossil oil to water, from farmable land to fish in our oceans.

In the process, we are producing pollution and

WHAT’S DRIVING THIS

TREND?

In the process, we are producing pollution and waste (eg global warming gases) that threaten to make our world uninhabitable.

In the long term, this is not very good for business . . .

Just 20% of the world’s population currently live at first world consumer status. That 20% consumes 80% of the resources and creates 80% of the waste.

At the current rate of world economic growth, more than half the global population will become first

THE BAD NEWS

than half the global population will become first world consumers within as little as two decades.

Australia is the X largest producer of CO2 after US and China

We all make hundreds of decisions that affect the planet every day, often unconsciously. By developing our knowledge around eco-sustainability, we inevitably start to make the right choices, contributing to the quantum

Buy a hybrid car, use public transport,

move closer to work.

GREEN YOUR MODE OF TRANSPORT

One of the very best things you can do to

improve your health and the level of

absolute joy in your life is to start walking

or riding a bike to work.

GREEN YOUR GOVERNMENT

Tragedy of the commons – individuals and

businesses cannot be allowed to destroy

our greatest communal assets. Our leaders

need to lead on these issues!

We desperately need e.g. a legislated

carbon ceiling with taxable/tradable

incentives

Fitness Industry Initiatives :

• Tax junk food

• Physical education back in schools

• Better urban design

• Tax incentives to be slim and fit

GREEN YOUR GOVERNMENT

• Tax incentives to be slim and fit

To those concerned about the costs, there will also be many positive economic effects; but whether this is the case or not, the risk of the alternative is unthinkable.

GREEN YOUR GOVERNMENT

As parents and as business people, we can’t imagine why any sane person would be prepared to take that risk.

We must make going green a major political issue!

Like an overweight person, as a race

we are simply consuming more than we

can healthily maintain. This over-

can healthily maintain. This over-

consumption is not only bad for our

bodies, but also bad for our world.

By 2016 the cost of the American health system will have doubled to $4.1 trillion per year*.

Imagine how much more effectively we

GREEN YOUR BODY

Imagine how much more effectively we could spend any portion of that than on treating ourselves for preventable illnesses stemming from inactivity and excessive consumption

*2006 US Treasury prediction

We need a proactive, preventative system. Two of the biggest drivers of the problem are inactivity and poor eating habits.

GREEN YOUR BODY

Instead of saying “If I get sick, my Insurance company or my government will give me a pill”, we need to start taking responsibility for our own health.

Make exercise part of your life.

GREEN YOUR BODY

Industrial agriculture produces 20% of the global warming gases, wastes unbelievable amounts of water and other precious resources and poisons us with insecticides, fungicides, GMOs and many

GREEN YOUR BODY

insecticides, fungicides, GMOs and many other highly toxic chemicals.

What do you think it does to our bodies?Use organic bio-degradable products

Eating unprocessed, organic wholefoods, will dramatically improve our health and that of our planet.

It’s essential to let decision makers in

GREEN YOUR BODY

It’s essential to let decision makers in industry and agriculture know exactly what we want them to do.

We can alter existing patterns with the one easy recourse available to us: our wallets

This is the greatest holistic health challenge facing the world, and our industry is perfectly positioned to play a big part in the solution.

WHAT CAN THE FITNESS

INDUSTRY DO ABOUT IT?

big part in the solution. There are four major ways we can contribute:1. Become advocates 2. Green our facilities3. Get a lot better at what we do4. Create a green mission

1. BECOME ADVOCATESHealth clubs need to become more than just places where people go to use exercise machines! We need to become true providers of holistic health. Education changes lives and your members will love you for it. A few great sources:

Wider implications of holistic health education . . .Millions of people a year die from the effects of air, water, food and soil pollution. Because of their size, physiology and behavior, children are most at risk. But this is not just people of the Third World – hundreds of thousands of people will die

1. BECOME ADVOCATES

World – hundreds of thousands of people will die prematurely in Australia this year due to air pollution alone.

Becoming aware and politically active is one of the best ways we can improve our long term health!
