Judi Mead / Senior Cluster GFM / NSW

What does your role involve?
Actually looking after Group Fitness Managers, I have a team of about 70, along with a team of 10 Cluster Managers, all in NSW.

What do you love about what you do?
I absolutely love the fitness Industry, I started as an instructor in 2001 and worked as an instructor for about 6 months, went through 4 clubs working up to Regional Manager, so I was out of clubs for about 2 years. But I’m back now.

What’s the worst thing about your work?
Instructors don’t take their roles serious enough.

What do you do outside of work?
Running, I love to run. I also look after my 2 girls who are very active and of course my husband. We have a couple of dogs, so we do a lot of dog walking.

What has been the highlight of your time at Fitness First?
Gosh, there have been so many, probably the highlight was being given the role of Regional Group Fitness Manager.

What’s your advice for someone considering a career in the fitness industry?
Go for it and take it seriously. Not just here for the pocket money, fitness is a serious growing industry.
