In a move to support ACT fitness employers and University of Canberra students, FITREC is now providing certificates of Gym Instructing and Personal Training for undergrad students who have completed key units in the Discipline of Sport and Exercise Science degree. With these certifications, FITREC can then provide students with the registration they need to be able to work as a fitness professional in the ACT. For fitness employers, this represents a wealth of new talent.
We’re huge believers in the value of activity and strength training for seniors – and we know you are too. For this reason, FITREC is looking to align with the NSW Government and the NSW Seniors Card Program to increase access to health and fitness services. Our goal is to get 500 NSW fitness businesses registered with the Seniors Card program. This includes Sole Traders (hello, contract Trainers!), Studios, Franchises and Big Box clubs. We would very much like to see ALL NSW FITREC members get on board the program. As a participating business, your reach will increase to more than 1.6 million members in NSW. Plus, as a vetted business, you’ll have the additional kudos of an affiliation with the NSW Government (along with the badge to prove it). The only proviso, you must make available a genuine discount for Seniors – a minimum of 10% off your best price. Want in? Please fill out the form on this page.
