Оператор фитнес-центров в Великобритании первым обеспечил официальное признание квалификации всем инструкторам групповых программ

A leisure centre operator has become the first in the UK to give all of its group exercise instructors professional recognition. Places Leisure, which runs Romsey Rapids, is the first public leisure operator to partner with EMD UK, the national governing body for group exercise, to ensure all its instructors achieve EMD UK Professional Recognition status. The move unlocks official professional recognition of their qualifications, alongside immediate access to a wealth of resources, training, and ongoing support. Sam Bryant, head of fitness at Places Leisure, said: “We are extremely proud of the group exercise programmes that we deliver across Places Leisure. "Our instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and highly experienced. "We see the value in consistently providing opportunities for our colleagues to increase their knowledge and be able to provide a better all-round customer experience. "That’s why we are proud to be the first public leisure operator in the UK to offer this qualification to all of our group exercise instructors.” Places Leisure currently runs around 20,000 group exercise classes each month, supported by more than 1,200 instructors. Nick Appleby, group exercise product manager at Places Leisure, said: “We are thrilled that Places Leisure has been able to deliver this partnership with EMD UK, giving our instructors the professional recognition and development opportunities they deserve while continuing to raise the quality and consistency of the experience we offer members.”
