Australasian Leisure Management’s Fitness Industry News videocast has passed 87,000 combined views and listens across digital platforms following the release of its first 10 episodes, demonstrating strong early engagement with its dedicated coverage of the Australasian fitness, exercise and wellness sectors
Launched in May and presented by Chantal Brodrick, the weekly program delivers a concise roundup of key business, investment, technology, research and industry developments from across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region
The series is published each Wednesday and is available on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts, while also being promoted across social media channels
Across its first 10 episodes, Fitness Industry News has recorded more than 87,000 combined views and listens, including more than 68,000 views on Instagram, over 16,700 views on TikTok and more than 2,900 YouTube views and podcast plays
The figures highlight the growing appetite for short-form, platform-specific business news within the fitness industry, with social media accounting for the majority of audience engagement while podcast and video platforms continue to build a regular subscriber base
Produced by Australasian Leisure Management, the program complements the publication’s long-established online news coverage by presenting the week’s leading stories in an accessible video and audio format. Episodes have featured developments across gym and health club operations, wellness, fitness technology, recreation, research, industry appointments, partnerships and major infrastructure projects
Commenting on the progress, Brodrick advised “when we launched FIN 10 weeks ago, we had a simple goal – to give the fitness industry a quick, weekly snapshot of the biggest stories, trends and conversations shaping our sector
“We weren’t sure what the appetite would be for a weekly news bulletin under 10 minutes … but the response has been incredible.”
Since its launch, the videocast has covered stories including the expansion of Club Lime, Viva Leisure’s continued growth, World Gym’s financial performance, HYROX’s rapid expansion, PerfectGym technology developments, STRONG Pilates’ new initiatives, Revo Fitness partnerships, Beyond Activ awards, Fernwood Wellness, WellPower’s rebrand and numerous facility openings and industry appointments.
The success of the series reflects broader changes in how business audiences consume industry news, with video-first and podcast formats increasingly complementing traditional digital publishing. Across the business-to-business media sector, publishers are investing in multimedia formats that enable audiences to consume industry updates while commuting, exercising or travelling
The launch of Fitness Industry News also extends Australasian Leisure Management’s digital offering beyond written news, providing suppliers, operators, consultants and industry associations with an additional channel to showcase innovation and communicate developments across the sector
New episodes continue to be released weekly, with the publication maintaining its focus on delivering concise reporting on the issues shaping fitness, health, wellness and active recreation businesses throughout the Asia-Pacific region
