As well as working on the Training Academy – which currently offers educational courses from well-known brands such as TRX, Wattbike and Schwinn – Tracey will also work with customers to offer training and support with their new products. In addition, she will seek to raise the profile of the Training Academy by offering her skills as a master trainer to strengthen Anytime Leisure’s network and online community.

“She is an asset to a growing area of the business and I am in no doubt that 2016 will see new and exciting courses coming out of our Training Academy.”
