perseverance, excellence and professionalism. Lori Lowell, an owner, operator and innovator of Gold’s Gyms in Virginia and Wisconsin, was awarded the 2015 scholarship. “Julie Main was an exemplary female
industry leader and I’m excited to see such continued dedication to a woman who exceeded the call of duty as an entrepreneur and leader,” says Lowell. “IHRSA’s ongoing acknowledgement and commitment to women leaders in the industry is honourable, and I’m grateful.” Twin Oaks Software received IHRSA’s Associate Member of the Year Award.
10th Augie’s Bash For the 10th consecutive year, IHRSA proudly hosted The BASH for Augie’s Quest, an aggressive cure-driven ALS research initiative established by fitness industry pioneer Augie Nieto, who has been fighting ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s disease) since 2005. The 2015 BASH exceeded expectations
by raising over US$1.8m thanks to multiple event sponsors and moving performances from John Andrasik of Five for Fighting and
headliner Gavin DeGraw. Since 2007, Augie’s Quest has raised over US$44m in support of finding effective ALS treatments. “I’m so grateful to my friends in the fitness industry for embracing this event every year and helping us fund this important research,” says Nieto. “Ten years ago, at the first BASH, I didn’t think I would see this day. Now I’m here watching my former peers stand by me for the 10th year in a row. It’s unbelievable.” ●
