opening up
The
fitness industry takes a giant step forward for mankind. That’s a big
statement I grant you, but we need to think big because fitness is global and our
challenges and opportunities have just gone planetary.
Last month, the fitness professional registers of the UK, Australia, New Zealand
and the EU signed a landmark agreement — the International Confederation of
Registers of Exercise Professionals (ICREPS) — to work co-operatively together to
maintain standards of fitness professionalism, foster those standards in other
countries and provide an international passport for fitness professionals to work in
other countries.
ICREPS is committed to assisting other countries achieve similar registering
bodies that will in turn, recognise your registration. As ICREPS gains momentum,
we’re hopeful of assisting registers in Ireland, Scotland, Portugal, Spain, Canada,
South Africa and Hong Kong. Finding qualified staff is a particular challenge for
fitness-related businesses, especially as we enter a period of enormous demand
and challenge, but the registers provide an easy method for employers to
determine qualifications for jobs.
Our training organisations, that have for years met and maintained the standards
of the training framework, are now market leaders. Their fitness courses are
export quality, their products can be delivered anywhere online and students can
travel to foreign countries to study secure in the knowledge that their registration
achieved after qualification will be recognised.
This move is also a great for increasing the public’s trust as they will be confident
that the easy-to-understand registration certificate is their guarantee of quality.
This is a huge leap forward from the redundant complexity that has made it
increasingly difficult for ordinary men and women to form an intelligent opinion on
health and fitness questions or to decide whose expert judgment deserves the
most respect. This simple system of clearly articulated competencies removes the
confusion that paralyses decision making and will get people moving again.

President of Fitness Australia and ICREPS

The health of the nation
Sport England’s recently published Active
People survey is the largest survey of sport
and active recreation undertaken in Europe.
Conducted through telephone interviews, the
363,724 respondents gave a real insight into
the nation’s physical activity preferences and
provides a comprehensive picture of where
we’re at.
Its key headline statistic showed that 8.5
million adults (21%) take part in regular sport
and active recreation within England alone
and also stated that people need to
participate in physical activity for 30 minutes,
three times a week as a minimum to make
a difference to their health. These figures
cement the need to have an adequately skilled
and trained workforce in the sport and active
leisure sector.
Winning the bid to host the 2012 Olympics and
Paralympic games has projected sport, health
and physical activity into the limelight like
never before. As an industry, we have the
opportunity to show the rest of the country,
Europe and indeed the world, how
professional and highly trained we are.
Through the Register, you are pledging your
allegiance to professional development; you
are showing your commitment to training,
re-training and learning new skills, and are
promoting the industry as forward thinking,
dynamic and unique.
One way or another, the sport and fitness
workforce is coming into contact with 21%,
those 8.5 million people, whether it’s through
a fitness class, gym instruction or a Sunday
morning football pitch. The Active People
survey has highlighted the need for us to keep
on top of our game, for you to continue to
raise your standards and as a result, our
industry’s standards. Let’s not forget what
we’re about, those 8.5 million people are the
key to making us a successful, profitable,
attractive industry to work in so it’s crucial we
don’t let them down.

survey, visit www.sportengland.org. To find

Improving standards
Recent analysis of the REPs database has revealed that for the first time,
more than 60% of members are now at Level 3 and the number of Level 1
(unqualified) assistant instructors has fallen to a new low of 3% — half the
amount in 2005.
The Register is now working towards encouraging the industry to aim for
80% of exercise instructors to be at Level 3 or above by 2010. In addition,
the number of members with provisional membership (where
qualifications don’t match current standards) has dropped from 40% in
2003 to just 16%. This is partly due to the conversion programme
06 The REPs Journal
introduced 15 months ago and accurate guidance to REPs-approved
training providers.
Although, results show that those who are able to work with older adults is
falling, the number of instructors qualified to work with children is rising, .
Just over a quarter of current REPs’ members are now qualified personal
trainers and also for the first time, nearly 6% of members are qualified to
work in exercise referrals. This is a 50% increase in the past two years
and reflects the trends in the industry and the requirements to meet
government expectations in improving the health of the nation.

International register
confederation launch
Broadening skills
The FIA’s government-funded community programme, Adopt a
School, was developed by the FIA to increase children’s activity
levels but evaluation results from the 2006 summer term show that
it’s also having a positive impact on participating clubs, centres and
their instructors.
Online surveys were completed at the start and end of each activity
programme by staff at the clubs, centres and schools as well as the
pupils. Results revealed that the scheme proved successful in
increasing motivation levels and teamwork among the staff in
addition to providing instructors with opportunities to develop
existing management skills.
Another key objective of Adopt a School is to ensure that the impact
of the programme is sustainable through offering additional
activities after the programme. Over 80% of respondents stated that
they will continue to work with their partner schools in the future
and are keen to roll out the programme to more.
Andree Deane, FIA CEO said: ‘These results show that the
development opportunities and support structures made available
to instructors through programmes such as Adopt a School are
highly valued by employees. This indicates that the programmes not
only succeed in increasing activity levels, but also make a key
contribution to advancing the industry's workforce and retaining
valuable fitness professionals.’
Other key findings included a third of clubs and
centres receiving local publicity and a quarter
recruiting adult members as a result of being
involved in programme. The autumn term saw
4,500 children taking part in Adopt a School with
the majority of activities taking place at the health
clubs and centres.
US training providers
Some of the leading US training providers, including ACSM, NASM
and ACE, have been working closely with the Register in reviewing
their training programmes and practices to gain recognition of their
certificates. NASM have already established their credentials
through David Lloyd Leisure and Performance Training Solutions,
ACE have agreed to support the requirements of recognition, and
ACSM have been co-operating with the development of Level 4
standards in the UK.
Representatives of registers from four different countries agreed the
formation of the International Confederation of Registers for Exercise
Professionals (ICREPS) at the IHRSA Convention in March this year.
The UK, New Zealand, Australia and the European register E-REPs,
have all agreed to work together to both promote and protect the
integrity of the registers, as well as endorsing and ensuring common
standards including securing appropriate professional conduct of
those working in the fitness industry.
Under the direction of Fitness Australia’s confederation president,
Susan Kingsmill, working principles have already been established.
The launch of the confederation also means that members of each of
the individual registers can use their registration status to work in any
of the other ‘member’ countries. Registration certificates will start to
include the ICREPS logo and there will also be a website for members.
Detailed discussions with South Africa and Canada are still in progress
along with E-REPs launching a register in Belgium and probably
Ireland later in 2007. The EU also has the opportunity to have registers
developed in all 27 countries under the E-REPs umbrella.
Student members
The Register is proposing a new category for students in higher and
further education so they can join with full member benefits while still
studying and working towards a qualification. This entry level of
registration will replace the current Level 1 assistant instructor
position as this has proved to have been confusing to members of the
public. Using the word ‘student’ in the qualification title clearly
conveys the fact that they are currently unqualified and have to
undertake CPD or need insurance.
As soon as student members achieve the minimum entry qualification
(Level 2), they will be issued with a certificate of registration and a
new membership card without any additional charge.

Securing a job in
the fitness industry
How you present yourself on paper is crucial in
the rat race for fitness posts, says Marc Moreso
I
n what has become a booming industry, jobs in
fitness are incredibly popular. Fortunately, with more
and more clubs springing up and clients becoming
increasingly aware of how a healthy, active lifestyle
benefits them, jobs are in abundance but the initial
step of applying plays a pivotal part.
Qualifications
As a professional fitness instructor with a REPs
membership, you can search for your first job and
during the course of your career, take one of literally
hundreds of training modules to enhance your
interest, professional development and of course,
your earnings. Most employers will only train you once
you have a fitness instruction module, however many
will offer a minimum level of training every year and
may even train you in-house so it pays to shop around
and see what’s on offer.
The role of a CV is to get you the interview, not the
job itself. In order to get yourself noticed and stand
apart from what is most likely to be hundreds of
other CVs, it’s essential to clearly, yet concisely, show
that you meet the requirements that the employer
requires. It’s important not to over-elaborate on
your CV and keep things simple as this will leave
room for you to go into more detail in the interview
— remember the employer will use your CV in the
interview to ask you questions, so what you write is
generally lines of questioning.
Personal statements are often a waste of space
on a CV that must be ideally kept to two pages but if
you do use a one, make sure you qualify statements
that are reeled out time and time again. For example,
most CVs will say, ‘I am a dedicated team player, but
also work well under my own initiative’. Instead of this
clichéd line, bring it to life by saying something like,
‘to illustrate my dedication for teamwork, my team
have hit target in our gym for the last three months.
I have also had sole responsibility when the duty
manager has been away, putting me in charge of
the gym and in a position where I have had to make
instant decisions’.
You must demonstrate very early on that you have
the qualifications, experience, training and qualities
that meet the expectations of the recruiter.
Imagine the employer sitting with a job description
and comparing this to your CV. Without reading past
the first 30% of your CV, they should be able to tick off
what you can offer against their requirements.
Think of your first section as a summary of your skills
and qualifications (ordering these in the same order as
their job description would be a clever move).
Clearly state your REPs level but leave details of
additional modules for the training and education
section. If possible, look at the company’s website or
literature to try and mirror the key words they use.
This ensures you are literally speaking their language.
Your CV must include the following information:
•Contact details (if you have an email address that reads
something like hotchick@69.co.uk change it. CVs are
often dismissed if they don’t appear professional
• Professional education (places and dates)
• Qualifications (with dates)
• Training
• Educational/professional achievements
• Membership of professional bodies
• Positions held (with start and end dates)
• Promotions
• Hobbies
• Personal information
The covering letter
This should be kept short with one page being the
maximum. As with the CV, it’s important to keep in>

director of the UK’s largest
health and leisure board,

go to the career zone.
mind that if you don’t demonstrate that you have
what’s required for the job in the early stages of the
letter, the recipient will shut off very quickly.
Don’t duplicate information — the purpose of the
letter is to briefly introduce the CV. Since the latter
is usually best presented in a bulleted format, the
former provides the opportunity to explain why you
are suitable for the job and the reasons you want this
particular position. Try to maintain the impression
that the role is a natural progression for you and that
you have all the tools the opportunity requires. Set out
your objectives, matching them to the job description,
and include how you were made aware of the vacancy,
as this is important for their marketing appraisals to
determine the most effective recruitment strategies.
You may also use the letter to reassure the recruiter
on any negative points that are bound to come to light
such as currently living in Newcastle yet applying for
a post in Bournemouth. The covering letter provides
the ideal opportunity to state that you are happy to
re-locate for the job. Failing to do this could give
the recruiter the reason they need to reduce their
interview list.
Preparation
Memorise the name of your interviewer and key
team members. Do your research — read the
10 The REPs Journal
company’s website and, if applicable, their annual
report, visit some sites managed by the potential
employer and if you cannot get hold of the job
specification, look for similar roles advertised with
other companies. Ensure you take spare copies of your
CV with you and offer a clean one to the interviewer.
It’s always a good idea to have a bank of sensible
questions to ask at the end of the interview.
This is where you can use your research to show your
knowledge of their company by asking questions
specific to them.
The interview
When the big day dawns, being dressing professionally is
vital, while arriving early will give you time to relax and go
over the key points you wish to make. Ensure you make
good eye contact with the interviewer and if there’s more
than one interviewer, make equal eye contact.
Having memorised their name, try to use it in
conversation to give the interview a personal touch.
A serious issue in the health and leisure industry is the
turnover of staff, which costs companies dearly.
It’s therefore important to demonstrate that you
intend on staying so raising questions about future
opportunities and promotions within the company is
recommended as this will show commitment and a
desire to improve yourself.

Creating a
The thirst for water-based fitness is on the rise but is the
industry adequately qualified? Charlie Dunmore investigates
12 The REPs Journal
Fitness
W
ith 11.9 million people taking to the pool
regularly, swimming is one of the most popular forms
of physical activity in the UK. And with an increasing
interest in water-based activities such as AquaFit,
Aqua-Jogging and Aqua-Circuits, formal aquatic
exercise sessions offer real potential for the health
and fitness industry and its customers.
Exercise in water is commonly acknowledged as a
widely accessible activity that provides good cardio
vascular and muscular exercise for all with minimal
risk of injury. As well as being one of the top activities
to help achieve the Government’s recommendation
to exercise five times a week, swimming and waterbased workouts are also being recognised by elite
sportsmen and women as a means of complimenting
their training, regeneration and rehabilitation.
However, many pool operators and fitness
professionals are missing out on the potential of this
largely untapped market, which is why the national
governing body for the sport, the Amateur Swimming
Association (ASA), has been working with REPs and
experts in the fitness and swimming industries to
revise its existing AquaFit qualification.
Get qualified
This year, the ASA is introducing a number of new
qualifications and endorsed awards which will be
added to the existing REPs framework.
These will be piloted this summer and be fully
available from September.
Divided into four distinct categories — Aqua Fit,
Aqua-Circuits, Aqua-Jogging and Fitness Swimming
— all awards will map to SkillsActive’s new National
Occupational Standards for instructing exercise and
fitness. Health and fitness professionals can bring a
breadth of skills and knowledge to aquatics and the
ASA is looking forward to welcoming more instructors
from the industry into the pool environment.
The new qualifications will enable professionals
with Level 2 exercise and fitness qualifications to
increase their knowledge of aquatic exercise and
improve the level of service on offer to clients.
REPs’ members should get a ‘generous’ APL via their
existing qualifications to enable them to bolt-on these
new endorsed contexts. There will also be support
training in aquatic exercise and fitness knowledge,
music and choreography, and swimming techniques
(where applicable) for ‘dryside’ instructors wanting to
get involved. Fitness professionals will also be able to
qualify and then do ASA units endorsed by SkillsActive
and REPs in one or all of the following categories:
AquaFit
Also known as aqua aerobics, AquaFit is an aerobics
session in the pool that can maintain and improve
stamina, strength and suppleness, as well as increase
cardiovascular fitness. Unlike aerobics on land,
AquaFit is low-impact and the cushioning effect of
the water protects joints in the spine, ankle, hips and
knees. It’s suitable for people of all ages and abilities
as participants can work at a variety of levels by
increasing effort and using resistant equipment.
Aqua-Circuits
For those who prefer a more targeted workout
without the dance to music element, Aqua-Circuits is
the aquatic equivalent to circuits in the gym. Based on
a range of activities and movements, participants use
equipment such as weights and specialised floats, and
move between stations to tone specific muscle groups.
Workouts often include an element aimed at improving
aerobic fitness.
Aqua-Jogging
If you enjoy jogging but are unable to undertake highimpact activity, Aqua-Jogging includes many of the
benefits of jogging on dry land while eliminating the
shock impact that can affect joints. The extra pressure
of the water on your legs also pushes more blood back
up into the top half of your body, which makes your
heart work harder, raising your heartbeat and burning
even more calories during your water workout.
Fitness Swimming
This form uses basic swimming techniques and
equipment to do a more fitness-oriented lap session,
and is ideal if you like to use swimming as a fitness
activity to complement a dry land workout.
By introducing different strokes and training
accessories, you can add variety and interest to your
session, as you focus on different muscle groups.
While a kickboard will enable you to work your legs,
a pull buoy will keep you afloat and allow you to
concentrate on your upper body
The benefits
As one of the most accessible forms of exercise in
terms of age, weight and physical ability, swimming
and water-based activities can provide a range of
workouts for a multitude of people.
The buoyancy of the water means people of all
body weights can take part and because up to 90% of
body weight is supported by water (up to neck depth),
participants can use its natural properties to gain an
all-over workout. As the buoyancy relieves or virtually
eliminates stress on weight-bearing joints during
exercise, it’s ideal for those recovering from injury.
Water-based exercise also enables a maximum range
of motion and multi-directional full body resistance that
is 12 to 14 times greater than air. Equipment such as
dumbbells, shoes, webbed gloves and tethers can be
used to further increase the resistance for training or
targeting specific muscle groups.
In addition, the hydrostatic effects of water cause a
shift of blood volume from the periphery of the body
to the thorax, which increases the central venous
pressure, stroke volume and cardiac output, and leads
to a decrease in heart rate. At chest level, the combined
influence of water temperature and hydrostatic pressure
at a given VO2 heart rate has been shown to be up to 20
bpm lower in water than on land).
Hydrostatic pressure exerted on the body aids blood
circulation, helps prevent blood pooling and improves
blood return from the extremities which means
kidneys will work more efficiently during exercise. >
The REPs Journal 13
Because water is approximately 800 times denser
than air, pool-based exercise allows for high levels
of energy expenditure with relatively little strain on
the body.
In addition, exercise in water is consistently praised
for its fat-burning abilities and the table below shows
how it compares to land-based ones.

Hitting the health agenda
The Government has recognised that swimming and
pool-based activities can play an important role in
improving the health of the nation. The ASA has been
working closely with Government departments, health
authorities and leisure providers on national and
regional initiatives such as Everyday Swim and Swim
for Health to find ways of encouraging more people
into their pools for fitness and wellbeing.
So far, structured swimming sessions and waterbased workouts have been key in encouraging people
back into the pool or to take up physical activity and
the ASA will be putting together a national blueprint
praising this approach.
Market research has shown that swimming is the
activity most inactive people would like to try and that
of those who attend public swimming pools, a vast
majority want to see the gym culture in the pool while
users want to receive advice on how to swim better,
become fitter, lose weight and get more from their
swimming and aquatic activity.
One of the biggest barriers for this culture change
to aid the growth in aquatic fitness is the lack of
appropriately qualified staff, which is why the ASA has
updated its aquatic exercise qualifications. Up until
now, dry land exercise and fitness professionals under
used the aquatic arena and are themselves, under
used within the aquatic environment. However, the
introduction of the new ASA qualifications hopes to
change this and make movement between the gym and
pool simple for instructors and clients alike.
The ASA is piloting the new qualifications this
summer and will be looking to formally unveil them at
Leisure Industry Week in September 2007. For more

Time for
change
With the active population abundantly catered for, Abigail Harris takes a look
at the changing faces of the fitness industry, where companies are shifting
their focus to a population still glued to the couch
16 The REPs Journal
T
he link between fitness and wellbeing has long
been established and results regarding the benefits of
exercise stretch back many centuries, so it’s no secret
that a more active nation could help save the NHS and
the UK economy billions of pounds. Figures show that in
2005, 164 million sick days cost the UK economy more
than £13billion, while 66 million days were lost across
public services alone, costing taxpayers £3.4billion.
The Health Select Committee has estimated that
obesity costs the UK economy £3.3–£3.7billion per
year and according to the Office of National Statistics,
67% of men and 57% of women are currently
overweight or obese. The country’s biggest killer,
coronary heart disease, also claims more than
110,000 lives in England every year and costs the UK
£25.8billion.
Forward planning
The National Institute for Health and Clinical
Excellence (NICE) is an independent organisation that
provides national guidance on the promotion of good
health and the prevention and treatment of illness.
In its recommendations on exercise referral schemes
as a method for increasing the population’s physical
activity levels, NICE fully endorses the importance
of physical activity as a means of promoting good
health and preventing disease, and that the relevant
people need to develop comprehensive, multi-sectoral
strategies to promote physical activity as part of daily
life. Part of the statement is as follows: ‘Primary care
practitioners should take the opportunity, whenever
possible, to identify inactive adults and advise them to
aim for 30 minutes of moderate activity, five days a week
or more.’
So, is the surge in demand for GP referral courses
spurred on by the Government’s recognition of the
fitness industry’s part in promoting a healthier nation,
or created by driven individuals who make up this
passionate industry?
Jean-Ann Marnoch, director of Central YMCA
Qualifications (CYQ), offers an approved certificate in
exercise referral which was developed in response
to employer needs. ‘CYQ led the development of this
qualification by identifying trends and recognising
employer, employee, fitness professionals and the
general public’s needs. But the Government is now
recognising the contributions that the fitness industry
can bring to the nation’s health and our Certificate
in Exercise Referral has the full weight of the
Government’s education system behind it.’
According to Marnoch, the problem up until now
has been the lack of training providers with skills to
deliver the qualification. ‘CYQ has had an exercise
referral qualification on the Government’s National
Qualifications Framework since January 2003.
However, it’s taken time to build a database of skilled
organisations to deliver it. There are now six training
providers who deliver this CYQ certificate.’
The WRIGHT Foundation, Lifetime Health and
Fitness, Loughborough College, Teeside University
and Future Fit Training also deliver an exercise
referral certificate similar to CYQ. All exercise referral
training is now based on the National Occupational
Standards for unit D449: Design agree and adapt a
physical activity programme with referred clients.
According to REPs Registrar Cliff Collins, exercise
professionals working in this important area must now
be Level 3 advanced instructors in addition to holding
this exercise referral unit of qualification.
‘In 2006, the Medical Defence Union and General
Medical Council said that they had no concerns about
a doctor referring a patient to someone on REPs and is
a requirement of the Department of Heath’s National
Quality Assurance Framework covering the roles and
responsibilities of exercise referral schemes.’
Making moves
CK Academy is an Essex-based lifestyle and wellbeing
consultancy that offers CYQ qualifications and training
for the fitness industry, as well as programming to
deliver these courses. ‘At CK Academy we have a
passion to deliver results and a desire to become
effective health partners with the medical profession,
says managing director, Georgina Jupp. ‘We deliver
the appropriate qualifications and training for fitness
professionals and have clubs and centres ready to
help people referred by their GP.’
Local GP, Dr Robert Colby, homed in on CK
Academy’s positive attitude and expertise to set up a
pilot lifestyle management programme for his most
needy patients. Six months on, the results are evident.
Jenny Cook, a 60-year-old former nurse, was forced
to retire early due to chronic pain in her feet caused by
arthritis when weighing almost 23 stone.
In September 2006, unable to walk without the aid
of a stick, Jenny was diagnosed with type-2 diabetes
and invited by her GP to join CK Academy’s lifestyle
programme. ‘I couldn’t walk the five minutes to the bus
stop without being out of breath,’ says Jenny. ‘I thought
that in a year’s time, I’d be completely housebound.’>
The REPs Journal 17
Jenny was weighed and measured before starting the
course, which included six talks that covered physical
activity, a healthy diet, eating out, sleep and stress,
combined with an hour of exercise twice a week.
‘I wondered how on earth I could manage an hour of
exercise when walking to the bus stop was too much.
But by the end of the first evening, I had survived the
exercise and six months on, had lost six stone in weight.’
Jenny no longer uses a walking stick and she still
attends the classes twice a week, walks 20 minutes to
church and works out on her exercise bike at home too.
‘I’ve had the opportunity to turn things around and it’s literally
given me my life back. I can now enjoy going for a
stroll in the park and even shopping is more pleasurable!’
The future’s bright
Abigail Harris from Big
Fish PR trained as a
regional journalist and

some of the industry’s

18 The REPs Journal
Dr Colby hopes the launch of practice-based
commissioning coupled with results-based payment,
will change the way GP’s and health professionals
view fitness and lifestyle management, and drive the
development of this type of intervention. ‘We have
never properly integrated fitness training or lifestyle
management into medical care. The opportunities for
doing this are just beginning and becoming clearer.
‘Our work with CK Academy is cutting-edge. If we can
demonstrate to the Government the immense benefits
to individuals and savings this model brings to the NHS,
we could see a future where fitness trainers work as
lifestyle advisors within GP practices.’
With the development of a Level 4 qualification,
there is now the prospect of closer integration
between health and exercise professionals.
An impressive range of health experts were involved in
the development of the new standards which will start
to come into effect from Summer 2007.
There are currently over 800 exercise referral
schemes operating at any one time across the UK
where GPs and other health professionals are taking a
pro-activeapproach to wellbeing. The growth of these
schemes and the opportunities they afford are clear
from the rise the Register of Exercise Professionals
has seen in qualified exercise referral instructors.
According to Collins, this paints a bright future for
the industry. ‘For the first time, nearly six percent
of REPs members are qualified to work in exercise
referrals. This is a 50% increase in the past two
years and reflects the trends in the industry and the
requirements to meet the Government’s expectations
in improving the health of the nation.’
With over 24,000 current members of the Register
and a further 7,000 joining each year, there are plenty
of recruits to enter into the area of exercise referrals.
In fact, CK Academy is already looking to roll out its
Exercise Referral and Lifestyle Management training
and programming across the country. ‘There are more
opportunities than ever before as public awareness
campaigns start to really hit home,’ says Jupp.
‘We’re looking for sites and trainers to embrace our
lifestyle programmes.’
With 63% of men and 76% of women not meeting the
current recommended activity levels of 30 minutes
five times a week, the need for intervention looks set
to continue.

REPs insurance
just got better
Getting quality insurance doesn’t have to mean
forking out more money
24 The REPs Journal
Final Word
T
his April saw REPs join with a number of leading
sports governing bodies to offer even better liability
insurance cover for the same price. We know that
allegations of negligence are increasing at an alarming
rate, as are the type and variety of claims being
made, making it essential that all those involved have
appropriate insurance protection to support them.
It’s a requirement of registration for all members
above student level (old Level 1) that they hold, or are
otherwise covered by liability insurance which covers
legal liability for death, injury or illness to others, and
loss of, or damage to, third party property.
Members who are in employment will normally be
covered through their employer’s insurances but it’s
strongly recommended that you check this point with
your employer.
Since April, the basis of cover for the REPs
insurance scheme has been provided on a
claims made basis. This, like most other forms of
professional indemnity liability cover, means that
there must now be a policy in force at the time at
which any claim is made against you. Once a policy
is cancelled or expired, no cover will be provided for
any claim that arises after the date of cancellation
or expiry unless you stop working as an exercise
professional altogether.
If you have REPs insurance and stop working as an
exercise professional, we will give you the benefit of
an extension for three years to your liability insurance
without you having to pay any further premiums.
This will cover you if a claim should arise in this
period. If you remain working as an exercise
professional but do not keep REPs insurance,
we recommend that you continue with another liability
insurance which is also written on a claims made
basis for a further three years. You will need to check
that your new insurer doesn’t have a retro-active
date on their policy and that the insurance is not on a
claims occurred basis.
The status of registration we give to our members
is now often called a ‘licence to practise’ and the level
and categories of registration determines the scope
of your insurance cover. This means that whatever we
recognise and authorise through your registration,
will be the extent of your cover. As REPs already
works across four levels and over 30 different
categories of registration, the cover being offered is
very comprehensive.
to act), the REPs insurance also covers for all advice given
in the course of normal instructing activities, including
advice on nutrition and weight control, although the sale of
nutritional products isn’t covered.
The new REPs liability insurance — now called
civil liability rather than public liability insurance
— contains cover for the following:
For new liability policies starting from June 2007,
we are pleased to announce that cover is extended to
include a free legal helpline for the following advice:
Public liability
This is bodily injury to third parties and/or damage to third
party property arising out of activities. Cover includes
damage to leased or rented premises, trespass, nuisance
and pollution. The interest of principals (such as land,
property owners) are also insured.
Professional indemnity
Referring to loss (financial or otherwise) that arises out of
errors and omissions (such as bad advice or a failure
Products liability
This is for accidental bodily injury to third parties
and/or damage to third party property arising out of
any goods sold or supplied by you (such as equipment
and clothing).
Libel and slander
Under this section, the insured is covered to the policy
limit for clients who prove they were defamed.
This covers negligent comments or literature, for
example emails, marketing and instruction websites
(including defamation of character such as allegations
of ageism or sexism).
Director and officers’ liability
This refers to negligent decisions of officers such as
mis-management or breach of statutory duties.
We recommend a minimum liability cover of £2million
— although £5million is now often required and is
an option in the REPs scheme. We have worked on
behalf of members to secure excellent cover and have
managed to keep the premium constant for the past
four years.

Some members of the Register may also practise
sports massage and soft tissue massage as part
of their client training. Those who do will require
a higher level of cover. The sports conditioning
liability insurance is only available to members of
the Register at Levels 3 and 4, and who are also
qualified in personal training and have additional
approved, certified massage training. This insurance
is for conditioning/massage being applied as part of
instructing/training programmes.

Ask Aunty...
Question: I’m travelling around the world and would like to work
in Australia. Will my registration be recognised and will I need
separate insurance?
Aunty advises: In Australia and New Zealand, your status of registration will be
recognised for work in their countries — although there are separate immigration/
worker entry requirements in New Zealand — but you must be registered with us
before leaving. If you stay beyond the expiry of your registration with us, you should
re-register with them (details are on our website). Our liability insurance will cover
you for up to six months’ work outside of the UK but if you’re staying longer,
buy liability cover locally.
Aunty adds: There are many exercise professionals travelling the world and UK
I get asked so many questions
— often on the same topics —
that I thought I would share a few.
Here’s a taster of some questions
I have been asked recently...
and European standards are widely known and understood. A number of countries
are developing registers along the same lines as REPs UK but you should always
register locally before setting off.
Question: My employer has frequently asked me to cover a group
exercise class but I’m not really qualified to teach it. I didn’t mind
standing in for the first one but now I’ve complained and have been
threatened with being sacked if I don’t do what I’m told.
Where do I stand?
Aunty replies:
I’m really sorry that you’ve been bullied by your employer. You
should never work outside of your area of qualification or competency — it breaches
our Code of Ethical Practice and could invalidate insurances. If you do have insurance
through the REPs scheme, then a new, free legal helpline is there for this very
reason. You could also ask your boss to pay for some training so you can then run the
classes professionally and safely.
The REPs members extended search would allow your boss to locate and contact
other group exercise teachers in your area who could be used for cover. If they’re
listed on the Register, they’ll be qualified and insured.
