So what do the top fitness names in the industry have to say about Melynda

WOW, you're on fire girl!! Is what I would like to add about Mel Tempest and her zest and passion for the fitness industry! We have had the pleasure of dealing with Mel over the last 6 months and in this time we have found Mel to be a breath of fresh air, her experience and knowledge not only of the industry but especially the group fitness area is second to none.

Mel is a person who is always willing to help with her guidance and direction, her attention to detail is what sets her above the rest. She is extremely passionate about her work and genuinely cares for people and the wellbeing of all our members, which sometimes is overlooked in today's busy hi-tech society.

We can say confidently we have found a very experienced business colleague that we can bounce ideas off and also a true friend always armed with a joke and a smile.

Thanks Mel for all your help and support we couldn't have done it without you and we look forward to future dealings with such a wonderful individual. Xx

"Melynda has earned the nickname The Implementer with me. As a member of the Australian Fitness Round Table since 2008, Melynda has taken many of the ideas and concepts presented and then implemented. But implemented with her own flavor. If you need someone to help with group fitness program, Mel is the one! She is an astute business woman who runs very successful businesses. If you think just because she is from the country, she does not know how to run a business, tell her that at your own peril! She is a high entrepreneur who is always striving to do things better! I have no hesitation in recommending her to work with - if you want to improve your business." June 21, 2009

I have had the pleasure of working with Melynda for over 6 years. In this time I have been both a member of her studio and worked with her to organise advertising for her business whilst working for different media outlets. My time training in the studio not only helped me achieve the physical fitness I was seeking but also helped me with important life tools like goal setting, never giving up and pushing through barriers.

I would not have been able to do this without Melynda. I am constantly amazed at her drive and determination. She looks upon any obstacle put in her path as a challenge and always seems to achieve the goals she sets herself. In the early days of her first studio there were some in the community who questioned how long she would last. They obviously didn't know much about Melynda as not only has her business continued to thrive but it now sets the benchmark for others in the industry.

I would have no hesitation being part of anything Melynda is involved in and would recommend her work to anybody and everybody.

"Melynda is one of Australia's "go-to" people to develop a group exercise strategy that works for your club. She's an impressive entrepreneur with a booming Body and Soul fitness centre and a great clothing range Fitdesigns. More than anything she's IT and web savvy, accessible, willing to share and get's things done. If you want to boost your group exercise numbers or your profits from secondary revenue sources, or just need a switched on presenter for your business group or function, give her a call."

Jamie Hayes Director Healthy Inspirations



Television 3 Network filmed Mel Tempest live. Mel was guest presenter for a special Club Physical NZ Spin class last week. Mel exhibited high spirits and great motivational skills in this 6.20AM class, with zero degree temperature outside. Thanks Mel

Mel is a true energy in the industry, forever trying to demystify the systems of the fitness business. She believes and can show how the business is very simple if you know what costly hiccups to look out for. Mel is a straight talker, has her own most successful club, and certainly won't waste your time. Refreshing to deal with.

Being an Australian Fitness Roundtable member, I have nothing but praise and admiration for all that Mel Tempest has achieved. Her level of passion, knowledge and enthusiasm keeps the spirit of roundtable so strong. Mel gives 100% to her other roundtable members and has provided me with not only inspiration but some very valuable resources. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Mel on any level in the fitness industry. She is an invaluable asset.

Louise Ferguson, Managing Director.



Melynda and I have been coordinating marketing campaigns at her fitness centre in Ballarat over the past 4 years and in that time I have found her to be a creative thinker and innovator, certainly someone who has a great deal to offer the fitness industry. She routinely draws upon her extensive networks and as such, has a real presence and is highly regarded in the industry. Mel is a clear communicator, straight forward and driven so when you couple this with her energy and passion, you have a formidable combination. Her ability to build rapport with people is exemplary and her ever expanding fitness centre Body and Soul is a clear testament to her business acumen. Mel is a pleasure to do business with and I'd highly recommend her services to anyone wanting an injection of inspiration and ingenuity.
