Mark your calendars now to attend what could become the most talked about Les Mills super quarterly for years. LMNE and LMMA are combining forces to include every program director from New Zealand, for a super quarterly that will follow this year's US trainer summit in Poughkeepsie NY. The Big House will surge with energy, using its indoor 40,000 square foot field to host this massive event. On Friday, 8/22, instructors will have an opportunity to work with the program directors in 3 hours of intenstive education.

Of course, no super quarterly would be complete without a super after-party. So plan to stick around for the weekend and mix it up with the program directors and some of your favorite trainers from around the US. The party will follow the conclusion of the super Q on Saturday night.


EXCITING HISTORY:
-----------------
What a ride. My passion for fitness began when my mother, Mary Murphy, entered the fitness industry as the co-owner of a local club with Bill Austin in 1984. I held numerous jobs in their multiple clubs through the years, including front desk reception, personal trainer, club manager, and regional manager. After graduating with a finance degree from the University of Notre Dame (Go IRISH!), I tried a number of different careers before following in their footsteps. Alongside them and Bill's daughter, Kim Kenyon, we now co-own 3 world class Gold’s Gym locations in New York’s Hudson Valley, and were awarded “Franchisee of the Year” at the 2006 Gold’s Gym convention in Las Vegas.

After rapid success with the Les Mills programs, my leap to BC and BP trainer and presenter, and a solid passion for these life changing programs, my partners and I formed the Les Mills Northeast agency. As President, I am determined to bring incredible Les Mills growth and momentum to the US fitness industry. There is no better option to providing the world with life changing fitness experiences.

Many of our quarterlies are showcased at our Gold's Gym Sports Complex in Poughkeepsie NY (the "Big House"), the largest Gold's Gym in the world, standing at 121,000 square feet. Please visit us someday!

I live by a simple philosophy of loving life...working hard and playing hard. In my spare time (if there is such a thing), I enjoy good times with family and friends, skiing (deep powder-hound), scuba diving, mountain biking, and water sports.

Freaky side - I absolutely LOVE extreme weather. Tornado chasing is high on my 'to do' list.

We get to experience this life one time. Make the most of it. I hope to meet many more of you "in the trenches" as the Les Mills phenomenon sweeps the world.

Hey Don,
Had a great time at the Super Quarterly. Sorry I didn't get a chance to introduce myself to you. Looks like you were busy when ever I saw you. Anyway I had a great time and I didn't get a chance to order a CD of the event and was wondering if I still could. I did send Jennine an email asking if I could get a copy but hadn't heard yet. I want to thank you again for a great event you and everyone involved did an amazing job. Very impressive to pull something like that off. GREAT JOB!!

Hey Don, just wanted to say great seeing you presenting Bodypump at this past Q in NY. I was in the very back because I lost my ticket, lol, but it was still fabulous!!! Not sure if you remember me, I met you back in New Windsor when Jericho and Josef were doing Combat training at the Sportsplex. I was the really tall girl, you cant miss me, LOL

Hope to see you again soon...
