Barx Active Instructor Application Package

Barx Active is a dog inclusive health and fitness community,

committed to helping people to live an active life, with their dog by their side.

Barx Active was developed by Physiotherapists and dog owners, Karen and Dan Uden, who discovered that traditionally, dog owners face a dilemma:

If they walk or run their dog frequently, this is great for the dog, but it means that the human will lack variety and a strength component in their workout

If the human goes to the gym for strength and variety, their poor dog stays at home.

“Dogs are not our whole life,

but they make

our lives

whole”RogeR A CARAs

Crucially, people just don’t have the time to do both. Approximately 36% of Australians are dog owners, making this a very important problem to solve. Barx Active was subsequently created, and now there are more options for people who want to be active, with their dog by their side.

Barx Hikes are beautiful

wilderness day hikes that are, of course, dog

friendly

Barxercise sessions are out-door group fitness classes, for people and their dogs.

Having run some successful businesses in the past, Directors Karen and Dan are aware that a business will only thrive if all involved are achieving their goals and living their passion. It is therefore crucial to solve the problems that you are likely to face in your fitness career.

These are the main problems that fitness professionals face:

You want freedom and to ‘be your own boss’, but you are aware that you would be much more successful if you had a mentor.

It’s a very crowded fitness world out there. It is difficult to build your own client list with the sheer volume of personal trainers, gyms and instructors out there.

You may be brilliant at your fitness work, but if you are not effective at running the business side of things, you will fail.

The competitiveness, ego and pretension within the fitness industry can negatively affect your job satisfaction.

At Barx Active, we like to do things better. With us:

You have unlimited access to a mentor. Your mentor will build your experience,

abilities and confidence - and we’re not just referring to an instructor like you. Your mentor will be a Masters qualified Physiotherapist with extensive experience working within the fitness industry.

You have a whole new audience. We recruit clients from a whole new

catchment. You do not have to compete with other fitness professionals when you are marketing directly to pet shops, vets, dog groomers and dog lovers.

We take care of a lot of the business clutter for you.

enough said. spend more time in the great outdoors doing what you love.

And there is one more thing…you can bring your dog to work with you! (Plus at least half of your clients will wag their tails vigorously the moment they see you!)

“In times of joy, all of us wished we possessed a

tail we could wag” WH AUDen
