Anytime Fitness UK launches ‘Panel of Health’ to help navigate members through lockdown challenges
28 Jan 2021
Anytime Fitness UK has unveiled a ‘Panel of Health’, tasked with supporting its members during lockdown and beyond.
The panel consists of four experts across nutrition, sleep, mental wellbeing, work-life balance and family & social environment, offering its expertise to members through a programme of exclusive content, webinars and Q&As.
The four panel members are Dr Neil Stanley, director of sleep science at NHS-approved sleep programme Sleepstation; work/live balance expert Annabel Zicker; Lee CHambers, founder of Essentialise Workplace Wellbeing; and dietician Lucy Perrow.
Anytime's 170,000+ members can access the educational content via the AF Connect Online platform, as well as by attending live online Q&As and webinars.
“Health is far more than just your physical health and the recruitment of our Panel of Health will provide significant support to our members,” said Neil Randall, Anytime Fitness UK CEO.
“Following the latest national lockdown, we wanted to make sure as much support as possible was in place for our members and having worked on this for some time, it’s great that we’ve been able to work with the experts to bring this together sooner.
"We know how much our members will miss our gyms while they’re shut and the Panel of Health will allow them to enjoy expert advice and guidance from home and continue to achieve their health goals. “It’s great to be working with Dr Neil, Annabel, Lee and Lucy who all share our belief that there are many factors that make up our overall health. We look forward to seeing all of the content that they create and achieve our goal of Making Healthy Happen for our members.”
