2021 Starts with Thank You
2020 was a particularly tough year for many of us including me. The year started with a very difficult personal situation and then along came COVID. It quickly became apparent that the businesses most likely to survive were ones that could adapt quickly. Mine was one such business as LFX events aren’t dependent on bricks and mortar. Instead it is people, stories, knowledge and sharing that are at the core of the brand that I started back in 2007.
Zoom became our new venue and with a change in event frequency and duration we adapted well. Our events aren’t really like any others. We don’t do webinars we do chats. We chat as a group and for me there’s nothing better than having 30 people engaged in a great conversation rather than hundreds listening to one person. Since we made changes last April we have held more than 30 events, some focusing purely on fitness theory and others on everything from mental health to membership sales. So in total we have welcomed more than 1500 actively engaged participants to our Zoom events within a ten month time period. Like being the best in a particular sport consistency has been the key and will continue to be for as long as LFX exists.
Every now and again I stop to think about why I started this and more importantly to remind myself of where the support comes from that enables LFX to continue.
So 2021 starts with a message of gratitude to all of those who have supported the network and events and in particular to Lynne Briggs. Both personally and professionally Lynne has been there for me during the most difficult year of my working life.
Thank you Lynne.
In addition I would like to thank the leadership teams from Matrix, Myzone, HYROX and Cornerstone Marketing for supporting and enabling LFX during 2020 and into 2021. I am truly grateful for everything you contribute.
Finally a big thank you to those who have joined our events as guests and experts, your time and willingness to share is appreciated by all who attend.
Have a safe, successful 2021.
Thank YOU, Graeme! We and the industry appreciate you. Cheers to proceeding with gratitude into a fruitful 2021!

4 年Welcome back Graeme. That sounds like a nasty dose of Covid-19. You know the lovely NHS is going to be after your blood plasma with those life-saving antibodies when you're strong enough, and willing.
