"The European fitness industry needs representation by a trade body to ensure the accomplishment of our common objectives - namely:

  • ensuring future legislation is favorable to our development
  • securing our position as the key delivery partner for the E.U. Commission’s public health and education agenda’s
  • influencing the establishment of industry standards through a European Qualifications Framework, thereby ensuring our industry is elevated and esteemed
  • the classification of fitness training in VAT systems to that of ‘medical provision,’ therefore exempt from charges
  • increasing facility revenue & profitability."
