Product Donation for Full memberships
We’re all about trying to reach our vision of everyone in Aotearoa exercising, whilst also raising enough funds to keep us operating – all while keeping the cash contribution for your membership to a minimum.
It’s most likely that Memberships are your primary product. We are happy to receive alternate products for those that do not sell memberships as long as it is your primary product. e.g. Concession Cards, Training Sessions.
If you prefer not to donate products, you can pay for Full Membership entirely with funds. The investment is $1,750 for facilities with under 300 members and $2,000 for those with over 300 members. Choose to pay upfront or spread the payment over 12 monthly installments.
Donation Requirement
2 x 3 Month Membership
2 x 6 Month Membership
2 x 12 Month Membership
For facilities/businesses that sell memberships, the donation amount is 2 x 3 month, 2 x 6 month and 2 x 12 month memberships. See the FAQ below for full details on donation of product and how we use the funds.
Frequently Asked Questions
We understand it’s not a simple mechanic but it does make sense once you understand it. Below are all the most commonly asked questions about joining us.
Who and what is Exercise New Zealand (EXNZ)?
How is Exercise New Zealand funded?
EXNZ receives the vast majority of its funding directly from its members, activities and events. Like all non-profit organisations, it shows full annual accounts to its members at each AGM.
Who runs Exercise New Zealand?
How do you use the donated memberships, where does the money go?
Do I have to donate products to join as a Full member?
No, it’s optional. Donating products allows you to keep your cash investment lower and provides an opportunity to generate leads via referrals. Alternatively, you can make payment entirely in funds without donating products.
What is the standard product donation?
The standard donation for Full memberships is: – Exercise facilities and membership based businesses: 2 x 3, 2 x 6, 2 x 12 month membership – Concession card based businesses (common in Yoga Studios): 2 x 10 visit card 4 x 20 visit card – One on One PT sessions (for sole traders who do not sell memberships): 6 x 3 one hour PT sessions
Who can join?
I’m a personal trainer, can I join / can you help me?
I’m a yoga teacher, can I join / can you help me?
We work with our sister organisation Yoga New Zealand (https://www.yoganewzealand.org.nz), and suggest yoga teachers look there first. By joining not only do you support their work, but also gain access to public liability insurance, and receive special rates at key Yoga events, while still being part of the wider EXNZ Whānau. If you operate a studio or otherwise own your own facility/business, you are also welcome to join EXNZ too.
