AUSactive's presentation of its 2023 industry awards last week also included recognition of health and fitness organisations for focussing on the needs of their members and staff.

The annual 10 Thousand Feet Awards presented at the AUSactive National Awards Gala on 15th September also saw winners crowned in the Member Love and Employer of Choice categories.

Advising that the two categories were about recognising outstanding fitness brand and organisations that go above and beyond for their members and staff, 10 Thousand Feet founder and Head of Intelligence, Ian Krawitz stated "we are thrilled to announce the 2023 10 Thousand Feet award winners across two categories - Member Love Award and Employer of Choice Award. In each category there were three subcategories based on the type and size of the business."

Congratulating the winners, Kravitz noted "the high standards set by this year’s finalists and winners was impressive. It shows businesses as well as business leaders and management understand the importance of engaging with their members and their staff as they strive for success.”
