Fitness is at the core of what we do, and who we are at fitbox.

The fitbox Business Academy is suitable for every fitness business and provides an opportunity to deliver a boutique business solution to participants.
Off the back of a challenging FY21, the Queensland Government is directly investing in initiatives to strengthen the capability of Queensland business to support their growth, ensure longevity and increase financial success. ActiveKIT is supporting the implementation of innovative solutions that contribute to improving participation rates across Queensland and improving the industry’s workforce capacity and capability and the financial health of organisations.
As a partner in the ActiveKIT program, fitbox will be running the fitbox Business Academy – a series of FREE workshops for Active businesses across key regional and metro areas. The workshops will provide targeted business training, tailored to each workshop’s unique participants. The workshops will equip business owners with the skills to address current challenges and opportunities across areas such as building a more sustainable business, membership retention and engagement, expense management, online and digital opportunities, and increased costs due to the impact of COVID-19.
