Case study
Introduction
Bounce Fitness is made up of four fitness centres. Head office is currently established in Cairns,
Queensland. The other centres are in Brisbane, (Queensland), Sydney, (New South Wales) and Melbourne,
(Victoria). It is the intention of the Board of Directors that a new centre will be opened in Perth, (Western
Australia).
It was established in 2001 by Margaret House as a single aerobic studio. After two years membership
increases demanded the small, leased centre be expanded and a new facility was built on land purchased by
the organisation. In 2004 a second centre was established in leased premises in Brisbane and then Sydney
and Melbourne in the subsequent two years.
The Head Office remains in Cairns and a Board of Directors has been established to oversee the function of
the business in all the centres. Each centre has a manager, who reports to the CEO in Cairns, and a team of
permanently employed fitness instructors and other casual instructors, all of whom report to the Centre
Manager. The business is operated on best business practice and complies with all legislative requirements,
local by-laws and is registered with the national body.
Bounce Fitness intends to market its brand through excellence in service and expertise to establish itself as a
premier provider of fitness and wellness in Australia. Much time is invested in training the Centre staff to upgrade
their professional skills and in customer service to foster a loyal member base. Classes are innovative and varied
with regular changes to routines and activities.
