Due to unprecedented demand, there are waiting lists for most items from our Melbourne & Adelaide agents. Our agents are working very hard to respond to all queries, but we can’t guarantee that all queries will be responded to. Thank you for your understanding. Please indicate to your customer service agent if you would like to go on a waiting list.
Befit wish our agents, their families and customers to be protected from the spread of COVID-19. We feel privileged to be in a position to be able to help people as the need for self-isolation imposes itself on our community. The Befit team has been working tirelessly to not only create a fitness-at-home experience that is safe and hygienic, but also to provide a solution where our customers and their families can maintain the fitness at home. It cannot be overstated the importance of keeping the population active and as healthy as possible during this time, so those affected by the virus are in good physical and mental condition, giving them the best chance of swift and full recovery. Part of the difficulty at this time will be keeping ourselves up to date with the quickly changing situation and restrictions that might occur.
Help protect yourselves by reading the following suggestions from WHO (World Health Organisation) and Australian Government Health Department web sites:
