Is your Fitness Instructor Registered?

The Register of Exercise Professionals (REPs) is the independent public register which gives recognition for industry qualifications and expertise of fitness and exercise professionals in the UK. One of the key functions of REPs is to provide a systematic regulation for exercise and fitness professionals. This ensures they meet the agreed National Occupational Standards (NOS) for health and fitness industry.

Is your instructor registered?

All REPs Registered Exercise Professionals:

  • Have met agreed NOS.
  • Hold approved and recognised qualifications.
  • Are competent to deliver at their recognised levels.
  • They are committed to on-going continuous professional development.
  • They are legally covered by appropriate insurance.


REPs registered instructors offer a wide range of experience and skills and will hold qualifications and have gained entry to the register through a a wide range of options such as:

  • Gym Instruction
  • Group Exercise to Music
  • Water based Exercise
  • Zumba Fitness Instructor
  • Nordic Walk Fitness Instructor
  • ViPR Fitness Instructor
  • Advanced Fitness Instructor/Personal Training etc.

Groups of people that recognise REPs as the professional body for the health and fitness industry include bodies such as the General Medical Council (GMC) and the Department of Health (DH).


It's strongly recommended by REPs that the general public ONLY use the expertise of a Registered Exercise Professional…
If you are a member of health club, or attend a community fitness class or wish to hire a personal trainer. DO check to see if the instructors are REPs registered.

By choosing a REPs registered exercise and fitness professional your health and safety is always paramount in the delivery of the class or fitness instruction. To find a registered professional visit: www.exerciseregister.org.

DIAL Sports Fitness for all who who want to become fitter in supportive environment. Join us today for fun, fabulous, fitness sessions at the YMCA gym.






Today at the YMCA GYM, DIAL sports fitness session led by YMCA trained, Active Edge Solutions, Personal Trainer Sue Burnett .  She said "we had two potential members who were recovering from stroke, others who wish to watch their weight,  a partially sighted member and some members who had problems with the spine.   Each and ever one of these current and potential members did not know DIAL Fitness sessions exist. They do not want to go to mainstream gyms and prefer a much more gentle approach to fitness and health. "

One of the DIAL fitness members, Lulu said " It isn't always easy but it is is worthwhile and it makes a bit difference. I feel tired when I have done the sessions but it is a good tired"

Sharon another regular at the gym, who is paritially sighted said " Talking newspapers is a great way to spread the word to people like myself. 

Shortly after Lulu and Sharon left the gym to continue with their day Peter arrived with his partner.  He is stroke survivor and the tought of going to a mainstream gym really didn't do it for him. A quick tour of the gym and the equipment has given him new hope to help him manage his weight and imporve the functionality in his right hand side.  He is looking forward to his induction next week and joining in the fun on Monday's at 10 until 12.
