24.01.2022 IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK! We're all learning to adapt to the new normal, and for those who have the pleasure of knowing Zane from Zane's Mail Delivery & Pick Up Service, you'd know that he loves his hugs! Hugs have turned into elbow bumps... and Zane on his first day back, proudly took on his responsibility to clean his equipment after using it. ... | Thanks Zane, we're so proud of how quickly you've adapted to the situation, despite the sacrifices you (as we all) have had to make. Zane reminds us that even with the uncertainty and current restrictions, we all have to make some necessary sacrifices at the moment, in order to protect each other.

24.01.2022 **For The Information of Members** The decision by the Premier to continue restrictions in Victoria, was not unexpected, but still a very bitter pill to swallow. Comments made by both the Premier and The Chief Health Officer officer on Sunday night suggest that gyms in Melbourne may not open until Christmas, with Regional Victoria possibly having gyms open again in LATE NOVEMBER, which is catastrophic for the fitness industry. . There have been a number of concerning issues h...ighlighted in The Sydney CBD recently, that in no way reflect the standard of the majority of gyms and fitness centres, and we will continue to dedicate every effort to ensure the health & safety of our members and staff. . What occurred in Sydney involved members sharing access cards, failing to social distance, and a lack of direct supervision. We believe that our local community was fortunate not to have this occur here. We don't believe it is prudent to rely on luck. . It is clear that when we do get the all clear from the government, there will be heavy restrictions placed on our industry for at least the end of the year. Whilst there is no specific details available yet, it is clear that something resembling the following will be mandatory: *Density Quotient (Hopefully Unchanged) *Temperature Testing *Dedicated Covid Marshall Staff *Access By Appointment *No Casual Access *Medical Declaration & Covid19 Waiver . As we continue to receive further information and clarification we will keep you updated. . Whilst we respect the right of the Chief Health Officer & The Premier to their opinion, we respectfully suggest they continue to research further into our industry. Gyms are indeed safe, but not all gyms are the same. We think it is important and prudent to remember that before making statements to millions of people at once. . We take offence, and I make no apologies for doing so when you make a generalisation about an industry that consists of more than international franchisees of multi national fitness centres. . I created a petition last month calling for the Victorian Government to legislate mandatory minimum staffing of gyms & fitness centres in Victoria. I do not believe our industry will gain government & public support without it. *The petition calls for a clear distinction to be drawn between gyms that provide access outside of staffed hours and those that do NOT. . Please see the link to the petition here for further information: https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au//view-e-p/details/12/225 . #GymsareSafe . Modest Numbers on Strong Foundations

22.01.2022 It is with great relief that after working tirelessly to correspond and lobby with the authorities, the state government have made some welcoming changes to the restrictions to Hydrotherapy. . We are excited to be able to confirm that ALL our existing hydrotherapy members are now able to access the service as per the last lockdown. The requirement for a health professional to be present has been removed, and as such Hydrotherapy is now available, subject to the following co...nditions: (1) Access is restricted to members of the Dynamic Fitness Centre, and there is as yet NO access on a casual basis. (2) Covid Safe principles apply, with a maximum of 3 persons allowed access at any one time, and 1.5 metres distance between all patrons to be maintained at all times. (3) Bookings are required for ALL access and each booking is currently limited to a maximum of 60 minutes. (4) "Adam Ale" has again returned to manage all your Hydrotherapy booking requirements, and the booking procedure remains the same. Please do not hesitate to contact our team if you are having difficulty accessing the reservation system. . Hydrotherapy Hours: Monday - Friday: 0800 - 1830 Saturday: 1000 - 1200 Sunday: Closed for Cleaning . Hydrotherapy memberships and passes are available, and all new memberships are subject to a pre-exercise screening and health declaration. . We look forward to welcoming back our members who have greatly missed their Hydrotherapy and we again thank you for you support, patience and understanding as we do our best to work through the current restrictions. .

Our number one priority is to keep EVERYONE safe. . We encourage you to contact Renshi Adrian to discuss any questions, or clarify any details. . Welcome Back Little Dragons

20.01.2022 PUTTING WORDS INTO ACTION In 1978, Dynamic Fitness Centre Echuca was built with the sole purpose of providing a complete fitness and recovery centre for a modest number of local members. Over the last 40 plus years we have seen massive change to our industry, and unfortunately not always for the better. In the blink of an eye, COVID19 has fundamentally changed the way we engage in many activities, the gym is no exception. During the period of the first lock down, the COVID1...Continue reading

20.01.2022 #MondayMotivation "The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty." Winston Churchill .... Another Monday down, which means that is one less left to count until we can re-open. Hang in there people, we are moving closer toward the goal post, not treading water. We have come this far, we owe it to each other to keep going. . In light of the recent, very disappointing announcement and comments from the Premier, we have decided to put it out there if there was some interest to do some 1 on 1 PT, or small group training outside. . If you would like to join us for some outdoor activity, please either comment on the post or send us a message. . Our plan is to run 2 outdoor sessions per week, and also provide some appointments for those who are interested in some 1 on 1 training with us. . Take care of yourselves, and each other. See more

19.01.2022 #ThrowbackThursday With life slowly crawling back to some sort of reality, we realize that meal preparation is once again a obstacle that a lot of our members face. . To celebrate the return of our 'gym' lives, and because we know life is a bit chaotic at present, we are having a clearance sale of our very popular CORE Powerfoods frozen meals. .... Don't pay $9, or even $7, come and get yours right now for $6 Dynamic Fitness Centre Echuca, while stocks last. . These meals offer excellent nutrition macros, and are ready to eat after just 5 minutes in the microwave. . Core meals for $6, and this offer is available to our members and guests. .

19.01.2022 #TeamworkThursday As we take one day at a time, slowly putting one tentative foot in front of the other, it is imperative that we look at a sustainable approach to gyms and fitness centres. . We think it is important for our members and also our community to be informed of what is currently going on within our industry. I think this is vital, because there are two completely different ideologies going on. .... It is highly offensive, insulting and false to argue that we cannot staff gyms at all times because we 'Can't afford it', or 'The business model isn't set up for that.' What business has not had to change its model because of Covid19? . I wouldn't expect any if our members to accept that, and I am damm sure I would not even suggest it as a valid reason to anyone who has lost a family member or friend, or someone like myself who has a parent in aged care. . What happened last time was a disgrace in our town, and it cannot be repeated. If you can't afford to staff your gym at all times, then you need to adjust your operating hours. The framework from Fitness Australia is quite clear in this regard. . We have created a petition with the Victorian Legislative Council, calling on the government to enact legislation prior to the second re-opening of gyms. Clear legislation is needed to prevent the free for all that happened last time. . Health, safety, sustainable and ethical business must be our priorities, not just the profits of 24/7 gyms. . Legislate and protect those businesses that are doing EVERYTHING they can to protect the communicate and drawer a clear distinction between those that do not. . Please support our efforts by signing our petition and help us protect our community and each other. https://www.parliament.vic.gov.au//view-e-p/details/12/225 . Modest Numbers on Strong Foundations

16.01.2022 **Important Update From Victorian Government** . We are pleased to confirm the following updates from DHHS Victoria, and attach the latest document which outlines the restriction changes in full. . The latest directions can be found here, ... https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au//Restricted%20Activity%20Direc Indoor Fitness Centres are now able to have up to 150 people attend the facility, with groups of no more than 20 at one time per area. . Despite some conflicting and misleading information being broadcast, we can confirm that Covid Marshalls are MANDATORY for any indoor fitness centre, staff must be present at all times. . Bookings will also continue to be required, in accordance with our Covid Safe Plan. . We want to again assure our members that we will continue to be staffed at all times, and our trading hours will remain the same. . Please continue to be be patient with us, as we continue to navigate these restrictions together, your health and safety is our upmost priority. . Let's get through this together, one step at a time.

12.01.2022 #GymsAreEssential It is pleasing to see some local publicity and support for an issue that is unfair, and yet a further example of how our State Government does not have it's finger on the pulse. Thank You Riverine Herald and Herald Sun . Gym's are safe, yet not all gyms are the same and we support the current push from many small independent gyms to be separated from much larger operations. .... There is a massive divide within our industry on the subject of mandatory staffing, and it is clear that not everyone has the same priorities and objectives. . Our facility was purposely built in 1978, and it stands the test of time today. We have a multi level facility, with 4 separate and dedicated training areas, which provides an enormous amount of space for members. With staff present at all times, and access provided to member's only, we do not present the same risk as many other facilities. . We don't accept the idea that an "Essential Service" can exist without supervision, support and assistance by staff. Gyms are essential because the physical and mental health of the community is essential. . To those members who have reached out today curious as to why we never offered a comment to the RIV, we apologise but we were not asked. . We want to assure you that we may be small, but we were The Very First Fitness Centre in Northern Victoria, founded in 1978 and dedicated to our members and community. Our passion and dedication are as strong as ever and WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS. . Take Care of Yourself & Each Other See more

12.01.2022 **Important Member Announcement Please Read** On Sunday the 6th September, the Premier of Victoria and The Chief Health Officer outlined a Road Map, and depending on who you ask, it was either devastating or encouraging. It was a catastrophic announcement for anyone who loves the gym, and shattered any hope of a near - term re-opening of gyms & fitness centres in the near term. . It is with great sadness that we bring you the latest comments made by the Department of Healt...Continue reading

09.01.2022 With all that’s going on, we can forgive the Riverine Herald for missing us in Monday’s edition about the re-opening of gyms in our local area | We’d like to assure everyone that we are still here (as we have been for over 40 years) and we’re grateful to re-open and once again provide our dedicated Members with a professional, safe and welcoming environment to train.

09.01.2022 **Important Update From The Premier** Today the Victorian Premier announced the further easing of some restrictions for how we live and how we train. . Whilst we await further clarification, we are able to confirm that the max occupancy limits have been raised to allow more people to engage the facility. .... Whilst we await for further clarification, we can confirm that Indoor Fitness Centres can now have up to 20 people in a Group or Room, which means that group classes can return. . At this stage we will be able to increase the max occupancy as follows: Gym: 12 Persons Group Fitness: 10 Persons Cardio: 4 Persons Hydro: 7 Persons . Unfortunately. we don't know anymore and await further clarification, and we will update our members as soon as possible. . Bookings will still be required for all sessions. . **Face Masks** There has been no change to the mask policy. As we are an indoor venue, masks are still mandatory at times when you are not directly engaged in exercise, unless you have an exemption. . With group fitness made possible by today's announcement, stay tuned for some news on when classes will resume. . We thank all our members for being patient, understanding and supportive during this time, as we continue to tip toe through this together. . On a positive note, the Premier made comment that we are on track to further ease restrictions around the 13th December, as we hopefully successfully move to "Covid Normal". . Let's continue to take care of ourselves and each other

08.01.2022 We have been quite open and honest about our concerns with some practices in the fitness industry, and we need a sustainable plan for any re-opening framework. . It is clear that their are certain duties, responsibilities and tasks that cannot adequately be replaced by HUMANS. Access cards and CCTV do not provide a satisfactory level of risk reduction during this pandemic. . Let us be very clear, gyms are safe, but not all gyms are the same and it is vital that a clear framew...ork is established to ensure a uniform, consistent policy is adopted by all. . Nobody should want a 3rd Lock down, or extended restrictions because of a "That will do approach", when it was clear last time that this was not effective. .

07.01.2022 **Covid19 Update** . Due to an overwhelmingly positive response from our loyal members about continuing training during Lock down 2.0, we are pleased to confirm that our team will be providing a dedicated, members only social media platform to support you during this time. . The DFC team have committed to bringing you a platform whereby our members can communicate, share knowledge and support each other during this time. ... .

03.01.2022 "After the darkness, comes the light." Cornelius Nepos . Well, there's no need to rant anymore, we foresaw this coming a while ago, and wow, what a surprise our state government has placed even more restrictions upon us. .... It is with great disappointment, immense frustration and a damn heavy heart that we can confirm that we will be closing our doors for the second time in 40 years, at this stage for a period of six weeks, with doors closing at 8pm on Wednesday the 5th August 2020. . Unfortunately, due to an obvious lack of compliance in our industry, and also the general community, with some clearly flouting the rules, the government has ordered the shutdown of ALL businesses. Through choices that businesses and individuals make, we are all once again punished for the selfish & self absorbed actions of a few. We are now at the precipice of self destruction if we do not unite together to overcome an invisible enemy. . Due to the unprecedented amount of our members expressing an interest in hiring some equipment and continuing their training at home, we have decided to create a private members group, which will allow us to come together to share knowledge and support. . Over the next 8 weeks, our crew will be providing an opportunity to join us in our "Back To Base" program, during this Lockdown 2.0 arrangement. It will be an opportunity for our members to stay connected with our team and keep up their fitness goals during this difficult time. . We understand that life is very challenging, frustrating and exhausting at present, and it will take a community effort to get through this. Stay tuned as we confirm the details of our private group and give you a head's up to what we are doing. . Stay safe, look after yourself and each other. .

Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination." -- Ralph Marston. . It has been three days since we re-entered Lockdown 2.0, and at least the weather is encouraging for restricting our movements. .

Our Back to Base program has received a positive response by many and we hope to provide a platform to share support, knowledge and experience as we are all forced back into our fortresses of solitude. .
