REPs

Save time – just one form to fill in & save money - click here.

There have been big changes in the Register of Exercise Professionals since Jean-Ann Marnoch took up the reigns. We have a great opportunity for all our members to join REPs and to save money. We have negotiated a special rate, which means you can get your membership of Fitness Wales, your insurance (£5 million) and REPs for just £79.50 a year. If you joined FW & REPS seperately, this package would cost you £105. If you don’t need insurance you can get your £25 FW membership and your £25 REPs for just £40. You’ll get all the details when your membership is due for renewal.

We shall be offering more opportunities to get REPs CPD points – see ‘Read Me for CPD’.

We hope you’ll also be able to get points for reading Fitness Focus in the future.
