BlueFit "Refer a friend" iPad Winners
Congratulations Jenny, Suzie and Roselyn!! These three lucky ladies are the winners of BlueFit January and February Refer a Friend promotion! Jenny Allen from Lane Cove, Suzie Halabi from Seven Hills and Roselyn Vatubua from Hurstville all won a brand new iPad each and all they had to do was refer a friend to a BlueFit Health Club.
Due to the erratic weather over the past few weeks there has been a slight delay in the renovations scheduled at the Hurstville Aquatic Leisure Centre. The northern car park should be complete towards the end of April, given that the weather is cooperative! The next stage of the redevelopment is the crèche which will start after the completion of the car park.
Keep an eye out at the Hurstville centre for further information

Be inspired by Seven Hills member Gunter Masurek 
Seventy-four year old Gunter Masurek joined Seven Hill's Health Club to lose weight, control his type 2 diabetes as well as work on his strength and flexibility which would allow him to care for his wife who suffers from dementia. Since starting in 2009 Gunter has lost 10kgs, while increasing muscle mass over his entire body. His resting heart rate has dramatically improved from 74bpm to 56bpm. The most astounding improvement Gunter has experienced is curing is type 2 diabetes which he has lived with for 22 years!
Gunter proves that age is just a number, at 74 years of age he is the healthiest he has ever been! If you would like to find out more about Seven Hills Health Club please click here.
