It's our belief that from our experiences over the past 15 years we understand just what's missing in the commercial world of the fitness industry and therefore we pride ourselves in providing a personal and detailed service. Clients' receive the hands on one to one attention they need and have if they wish their complete lifestyles studied to help us design and maintain the correct exercise, fitness and wellbeing programme and advise.

 

Our trainers are both members of the Register of Exercise Professionals (REP's) at level 3. REP's has become the main self governing body in recent years of the health and fitness industry. It is constantly working to bring standardised and recognisable grades to fitness professionals so that the consumers' can have peace of mind it individuals' and their qualifications.

As members of REP's and being at level 3 our trainers have to maintain and update our qualifications every year. At this high level they both have to earn 12 points of accreditation a year, which equates to 12 hours of education. These points are achieved by constantly updating their qualifications and knowledge by attending training courses, workshops and fitness conventions / seminars to stay current with the latest training techniques and information.
