Fernwood Women’s Health Club’s has opened its 75th club in Australia in the site of the old Polo Club Hotel in Moonee Ponds.

Fernwood Moonee Ponds is now open for business, and is owned by Gary Harley who also owns Fernwood Clubs in Sydenham and Tullamarine.

It is a mixed use development, with the club forming part of the ground and first floors, with residential apartments also located on the first floor and shops at ground level.

Fernwood Founder & Executive Chairman Diana Williams says the opening of the 75th club in Australia brings the group one step closer to the aim of having 85 clubs by 2008.

“This club is also our 25th club in Victoria and we’re planning to open another new club in Victoria in October,” Diana said.

Background

Fernwood Woman’s Health Clubs is the largest fitness and wellness franchise in Australia, with over 80,000 members, more than 2,000 employees and an annual turnover of $72 million.

The first Fernwood Women’s Health Club was established 17 years ago in 1989 when franchisor and Managing Director, Diana Williams recognised a need for women to have their own special space to enjoy regular exercise to reach their fitness and wellbeing goals.

The enormous popularity of the concept inspired the decision to franchise in 1994.

Such was the success of this model that Fernwood have regularly appeared in BRW’s ‘Top 10 Fastest Growing Private Companies since it first appeared in 1998.

Fernwood is committed to improving the quality of life for all women through superior fitness and wellness programs, which it provides in a friendly and caring environment.

DÉJÀ VU FOR HOLYSHEET! SPRINGWOOD FRANCHISEES

 
Close friends since their high-school days in Brisbane, Nicole Lovelock and Natisha Rice, were sitting around their respective family households one Saturday afternoon poring over business opportunities in the newspapers.

They both came across a venture which had an appealing, captivating name - holySheet! homewares - and went to ring each other to discuss the feasibility of such a venture...a case of déjà vu!
    
The rest, as they say, is history.  "We've always felt that our lives ran in parallel given our similar interests and I think the holySheet! occurrence proved the point!  We just loved the name and knew it would be our cup of tea," Natisha explained.
    
On March 3, Nicole and Natisha opened the holySheet! doors at the Springwood Mega Centre inviting customers to enjoy the "fun and vibrancy" on offer.  That phrase somehow sums up the attitude to life of Nicole and Natisha. 
    
"We are fun, vibrant family people with the necessary business skills required to really make a go of our new venture," 'Nicole commented.

"Natisha and I were at that stage where we wanted to try something different and the holySheet! franchise presented us with a perfect opportunity.

The venture offers us everything we've wanted in a business - quality core products complemented by a great shopping experience with plenty of atmosphere.  It is an organisation that breeds the right environment all the way through - quirky with a sense of humour backed by a good business strategy."
    
”The Springwood Mega Centre will attract a strong clientele and we are confident our customers will love our products and the experience.  Fashion expresses one's personality and the bedroom and bathroom are now part of the fashion cycle,"  Nicole enthused,
    
holySheet! caters for such products as bedlinen, towels, sheets, manchester,  bathroomware, napery, body products, throws and rugs, children/babies goods and giftware ...even rubber duckies!.   Fifty per cent of the products sold are holySheet's own brands.
    
holySheet!'s Springwood franchise is the fifth Queensland venture and the third in the Brisbane region following the success of stores in Fortitude Valley and Toombul in recent years.  There are 25 holySheet! stores in Australia and two in New Zealand with rapid growth plans scheduled for both countries.
