What I love about Fit Futures Academy

(1) Our teams' ability to educate, mentor and influence the minds and attitudes of our past, present and future students. (2) The ability we have as an organisation to influence so many people: both in terms of qualifying industry professionals who then go on to influence the health and well-being of the wider community.
