    * First of all, you must have purchased the item from the FFP Webstore. This may sound crazy, but it's incredible the calls and e-mails we receive from people who have purchased a "supposed" Official FFP product from some other person or company posing as the "Real Thing", selling "less than authorised" (putting it nicely!) copies of our products. We are the ONLY AUTHORISED PLACE ON THE WEB FFP PRODUCTS ... PERIOD! We fully honour our refund policy for those original purchasers of our products directly from the webstore at FitnessMarketingAustralia.com.

    * You must receive a return authorisation number before returning your product. This is extremely important!

    * You must return the products to the address specified in your return authorisation. DO NOT SEND YOUR PRODUCT BACK TO FFP OFFICE OR ANY OTHER PLACE INCLUDING OUR FULFILLMENT VENDORS UNLESS SPECIFICALLY DIRECTED WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR RETURN AUTHORISATION NUMBER OR YOU WILL NOT BE CREDITED FOR YOUR RETURN - WE MUST RECEIVE ALL RETURNS AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED BY OUR RETURN DEPARTMENT ONLY.

    * The returned package must include all parts of the ordered product, forms and bonus materials and original packaging if applicable.

    To receive a return authorisation:

    Contact us through the webform here to request a return authorisation number and an address to ship back your returned item(s) to. Please provide as much detail as possible regarding your original order: name, order id, product, and date if available. As soon as we have processed your request you will receive an email with instructions where to send the return.

    Return all products in like new condition with original packaging if applicable. Once we receive your returned package, we will process your refund for the purchase price less shipping and handling charges. Your refund payment will be in the same manner of your original payment. If you paid by credit card, your refund will only be credited to the same credit card used for the purchase.

    Failure to comply with the above procedures may result in a restocking fee of 10% of the product purchase price.

There is a 20-student limit for the live coaching option. A new class begins approximately every 90 days, so if you invest in this option and the next class is already full, you'll be slotted into the following class, but you will still receive the Home Study Program immediately, so you can get started right away.

    Having worked with literally hundreds of fitness business owners, we cannot over-stress the importance and value of being in the live coaching classes.  Not only do you get access to our coaches, but you also get instant feedback, instant answers to your questions, the ability to role play in real time, and something else that is almost invaluable (as you know)…ACCOUNTABILITY & SUPPORT. And you already know from your own work as a coach just how important accountability is.

  18. Can I purchase the "Icing the Cake" letter sequence?
    The 'Icing the Cake' direct mail letter sequence is currently only available as an area-exclusive tool through our VIP program.

    Gold Plus Members have access to each month in which they were an active member. This includes the month of membership activation and those modules going forward during their active membership. Previous modules are available for purchase at a member discount price through the online webstore here.

  20. I own/work at a Pilates Studio (or other non-traditional PT training business). All of your material looks like it is directed toward personal training studios. Will this information help me?
    All of our programs and products are based on fitness business core competencies, such as marketing, sales, management, etc., and can be adapted or tweaked to meet the needs of your specific fitness or wellness business model.

    Actually we've even had small business owners from OTHER industries go through our programs and rave about how much we've helped them.
