WWW.GETFIT.COM.AU WINS HEALTH AND FITNESS AWARD

GETFIT- Australia's leading online fitness website is the winner of this year's 2002 Australian Micro Business Awards in the Health and Fitness Category Dean Piazza, the Founder and Head Trainer, received the award at a gala industry event in Sydney.

''Not everyone wants to join a gym to get fit '' says Dean Piazza Fitness NSW Trainer of the Year.

''Some people get embarrassed about training and exercising while other people are watching, while others simply lack the motivation that's required to enrol in regular gym sessions."

Whatever the reason, there is now a viable alternative, and that's to take up an online fitness training course. These programs are not only ideal for people living in the country where there are no gyms or big equipment, but also for city people who just can't fit visits to a gym into their busy lives.

They also appeal to people who can't have personal contact with fitness trainers due to the high costs associated with traditional gym programs, have difficulties with arranging transport, or who lead lives that are constantly being interrupted by business travel. ''

Piazza knows about what it takes to get fit, and then to maintain that fitness. Author of ''GETFIT-SMART FITNESS SOLUTIONS'' , A professional member of the Fitness Institute Australia, he is currently the expert trainer for Channel 9’s Good Medicine Web site and Cleo magazine’s Web site. He was also the recipient of the Fitness NSW Fitness Instructor of the Year award in 2000
