Leisure Connection invests more than £50,000 in fitness training

Leisure Connection has invested more than £50,000 in training its fitness staff in order to allow the operator to expand its programme of activities for specific user groups.

Lifetime Fitness delivered the training in areas such as anti-natal and post-natal fitness; exercise for older people; and interactive instructor training.

Leisure Connection has unveiled a new range of programmes as a result of the training, while all public access facilities currently operated by the company also now offer GP referral services.

"We can't ignore the fact that as a nation we are becoming more obese, we're ageing and we're growing in numbers," said Leisure Connection head of marketing and retention Kevin Yates.

"This training has been specifically developed to respond to these changes and has been delivered to our entire fitness team in a bid to provide them with the tools they need."
