POLCZYNSKI LAWYERS
Thank you to both Adam and Michael for creating such a fantastic Segway Xperience for our team on Friday. Segway Seglympics is the ideal team building activity and it was absolutely perfect for our annual staff retreat. It was great to see every person get into the spirit of the competition and working together, strategizing their ways to win.
Even the heavy shower of rain didn’t dampen spirits. I think it actually made everyone even more determined to get back to it and win the challenge.
We presented medals to the Blue team at our dinner on Friday evening and the feedback from everyone was so overwhelmingly positive, Seglympics will most definitely be included in our event again next year.
Thank you for the Xperience and I look forward to working with you again to create another successful competition again for next year.
Thanks again for a great Xperience!

Hi Adam,
I would like to thank yourself & your company for organising “SEGWAY SEGLYMPICS” at our recent state conference at Kooindah Waters Resort. We were looking for something a little different, something other than the traditional activities normally utilized.
I must say that the Segways introduced fun, excitement into the event. The impact it had on morale, team building was immeasurable. The event went from a quiet & sombre, to upbeat in a matter of 2 hours. The fun, laughter, back slapping & most importantly SMILES, was very much appreciated.
We look forward to utilizing your services at our next conference, you have set the bar high and anticipate another successful conference.
Thanks again!

Once again thank you to East Coast Xperiences for another fabulous event, the team absolutely loved it!
After all the laughs we had during Segway Olympics last time we weren’t sure we would be able to top it but Beach Olympics proved to have exceeded our expectations.
Thanks Adam for your ongoing support, you are a pleasure to work with and we look forward to partnering with you again soon. Thanks for the photo's they look awesome!

Adam & Michael
Everyone is still talking about last Friday’s team building event and how much fun they had!
As you know, most of our staff were very cautious at first, but with your training on how to ride the Segway and a few practice runs no one wanted to get off them at the end of the day.
We had an excellent afternoon competing in Seglympics, and definitely learnt the value of effective communication and team work while having fun at the same time.
We look forward to seeing some of the action shots.
On behalf of the Facility Management Team
Thank you!!

Hi Adam, thanks again for last week. Our leadership team isn't easily impressed, however after a morning of laser clay shooting and riding the segways - "Seglympics" they couldn't stop raving about how good the activities were!
Thankyou to Adam and the team!

A Huge thanks to Adam and the team for hosting an amazing End of Financial year event.
We had six different events running at the same time with different companies and East Coast Xperiences definitely came out on top. Those who participated loved it and those who choose a different activity were jealous of those who got to wheel around on Segways and shoot laser clay shot guns! We will definitely be back for more!
Thanks so much Adam, I am sure we'll be talking again soon!

TYCO
The guys at East Coast Xperiences organised a superb day out from the everyday stresses of the office. Adam organised the end-to-end day for my team – allowing everyone to take some time out and relax. The well organised activities (Segway Seglympics & Laser Clay Shooting) allowed everyone to engage – there was nothing that excluded anyone and it enabled for a very relaxing, but team inspiring day (without the direct, in-your-face team building experience!). It was just what the Doctor ordered. I would recommend this to anyone that values their team and the effort they put in as individuals, the sacrifices they make – and most importantly, the contribution that ‘fun’ can make to a workplace.
Again, many thanks Adam – for everything (including the photo’s!). Well worth it! And the photo’s were pretty cool too – the group shots will remain in the office I’m sure for quite some time!

I was initially apprehensive about mastering the art of the Segway due to my lack of sporting prowess and my advancing years. But after some instructions and confidence building tips from Adam and Michael, I was literally on a roll and ended up having a ball. If I can do it, anyone can! Thanks again for a great afternoon of Segway Seglympics for the company. Great fun and good exercise – would love to do it again. I’d recommend it to anyone for a team building exercise or just a fun day out.

Hi Adam
I can only say “ditto”. Everyone agreed that your activity was great fun for everyone at any level and age. They all raved about the Segways and how they would all like to have one. Your segway seglympics activity was definitely one of the highlights of our day and I can only say thank you for a well organised, fun and stress-free activity. I would have no hesitation in recommending other organisations to use your organisation. It was fantastic!!
Thanks again Adam. What a wonderful weekend!

ZIERA SHOES
Segways: “We love them at Ziera Shoes”. This is the second time we’ve asked Adam and his team along to our annual conference at the Sebel, Richmond.
We have all levels of fitness and 99% of us are women (and a few blokes)who participate in various activity. Its lots of fun for team building, competitiveness, challenges the spirit great for balance.
Nothing like the fresh air and getting out of the conference room to blow the cobwebs out, sometimes we look a bit hilarious but so what!!
Adam always has different challenges and mixes up the activity so I have no hesitation is asking the East Coast Experience team back again.
Thanks Adam & we loved the photos, they were great.

The Segways were a great way to end our Team Building Day. Although some staff were a little hesitant leading up to the event, as it turned out those were the staff who we couldn't get off the Segways at the end of the day. Great for all ages and fitness levels...highly recommended!! Adam and the rest of the team from East Coast Xperiences are easy going and patient...thanks for a great afternoon!

ALLIGHT SYKES
Recently, AllightSykes held a team building afternoon at Raffertys Resort, Lake Macquarie. 38 people participated in an “Amazing Race” style competition.
As part of the many tasks and events, we included the East Coast Xperiences Segways. My brief to Adam was to create an event that fitted into my program, fun, challenging and well-timed as we had new teams arriving every 20mins throughout the afternoon.
Adam, took the brief and created the perfect activity, well timed, fun and also challenging. Adam also went above and beyond the brief and assisted in being an official in this part of the race.
Adam’s professional presentation on how to use the Segways, was greatly received. His calm and well spoken instructions ensured a day of fun and safe Segway riding.
Overall, the groups commented on how great the Segway experience was and I will be using East Coast Xperiences again.

WIRELESS ANYWHERE GROUP
My company recently celebrated our 9th anniversary and we hired the team from East Coast Xperiences to run a “Team Building” afternoon for us.
My brief to Adam and his team was for the afternoon to be competitive, completely all-encompassing and fun for our 50 delegates.We have a wide variety of ages and fitness levels and finding something to suit everyone has always been our challenge.
Adam came up Corporate X Games, a round robin style competition made up of a mixture of Segway riding, giant human foosball, dodge ball and slacklining (tight rope walking).
The concepts were very clever and different and they had all of us completely engaged and excited.The entire East Coast team were very friendly, experienced and great fun.The events ran smoothly and the entire afternoon was a raging success.
I could not recommend East Coast Experiences any higher for their professionalism, organisation and energy levels.

WORLEY PARSONS
Recently graduates from Worley Parsons participated in an East Coast Xperiences ‘Segway Olympics’ at Centennial Park Sydney. Our team of 40 were split up into four teams for the afternoon and had an absolute blast competing for the top spot! We participated in a number of races, all with a slight twist. The segways themselves were very easy to ride and the instructors were friendly and helpful.
All in all, the afternoon on the segway's was a great way to have fun and do some team building at the same time! Highly recommended with positive reviews from all!

ABM SYSTEMS
For our work Christmas function this year we decided to do some team building activities that were a bit out of the norm and East Coast Xperiences definitely provided us with plenty of options to facilitate what we were looking for. In the end, we decided to go with Laser Clay Shooting and a Mini Seglympics Course and some impromptu Frisbee at the end of the day.
The whole day was kept as a surprise for the team and everyone was more than pleasantly surprised with the activities! The weather held up for us, Adam and Greg were thorough with their explanations and patient with those of us that were a bit slower to catch on to things... and those of us who didn’t listen to the instructions properly the first time round! It was a fantastic team bonding day and everyone really got into the spirit of things – with some friendly competition, lots of cheering for the prospective teams and plenty of laughs all round!
Thank you again East Coast Xperiences for making our 2011 Christmas function an enjoyable and memorable day for the team at ABM Systems!!

The whole team had a great day at Segway Xperience at Blackbutt and the bbq at the end finished it off perfectly.
Great fun that all could enjoy regardless of age and fitness level. It was a fantastic way for the team to bond and have some outdoor fun at the same time. I have recommended this to several other organisations.
Here are some other comments from our team building last week..........
- ‘WOW Segway Seglympics, what a fun day – who thought buzzing around on two wheels could be so much fun.
- I had a great time – and it was so easy and fun to do that it involved the whole team regardless of age or ability. It was great to see everyone have so much fun together.
- It was a fun day to experience something that normally you would not have the opportunity to do; it was a great set up by the organisers as a team building challenge.
- It was a fantastic day! What a great way to get together with work colleagues & have some real fun.

ADVENTIST CHURCH
Fabulous day East Coast Xperiences - It was a very successful day — in fact, it exceeded my expectations in regards to how staff participated and enjoyed it. There was lots of positive feedback — people are still talking about it. The "Seglympics" and "Giant Foosball" catered to all ages and levels of skill — and provided a few laughs too. It was good to engage in physical activity for our team building day, we spend so much time in our individual offices that we don't get to see the 'other side' of people when they're relaxed and having fun.
The segway games were a real highlight of our staff bonding day! We were challenged to try something new, and at first it was a little strange getting the hang of riding on a segway, but the trainers were very patient with us and showed us the proper and safe way of riding the segways. After a few goes, it was so much fun and I enjoyed going a bit faster and weaving in and out of the markers! We laughed with each other as we raced and played games; and the activities pushed us to keep on trying new things; doing a 360 degree turn, balancing water on a frisbee while steering with one hand, and even pushing a giant soccer ball along with the segways. I would definitely recommend giving it a go – it was such a fun experience!

Recently I booked a Segway team building experience at the Hunter Wetlands, which incorporated existing team members and three new starters. The first half of the day was spent in one of the venue rooms, which was work based and self facilitated. It was advantageous to get away from the work environment and get together as a group to focus on some team issues and introduce the new starters.
After lunch, the segway training and seglympics commenced followed by the segway tour of the wetlands. The feedback from everyone was that this was a fun and extremely enjoyable team building exercise. From my perspective your focus on training and safety should be commended.

Choosing "East Coast Corporate & Group Xperiences" for my workplace's Team Building day was a great decision! Every single collegue gave positive feedback about the day and we had the opportunity to bond, have fun and learn new things about each other. I asked my collegues to provide me with some words that described the day for them..."Awesome, uplifting, humourous, exhilerating, challenging, worthwhile, exceptional and excellent"!!! They say you can't please all the people all the time but in this case, everyone was pleased! Thanks for being such well organised and supportive facilitators and making the day run so smoothly. See you next year!

NOVOTEL TWIN WATERS RESORT
It’s been described as the closest you will come to gliding without leaving the ground, an experience in which the thought becomes the deed. This is Segway, the two wheeled platform which will carry you off-road at speeds of up to 20km/h and the latest activity offered for conference and leisure guests at Novotel Twin Waters Resort by Corporate & Group Xperiences utilising the natural surrounds of the resort.
Accor as a group believe this innovative venture fits hand in hand with our own business plans for the future of Tourism in Australia to offer more than a destination but an experience and are excited about the possibilities of Segway Xperiences at our other destinations.
