Premier Training International and Performance Training Solutions (PTS), the fitness training providers, have merged.

PTS, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier Global, will take on Premier Training’s name for future operations.

The merger is quite the coup for Premier Training, as PTS has the exclusive licence to deliver National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) education in the UK and EU.

Debra Stuart, chief executive of Premier Training, said: “PTS’s expertise and clients complement Premier Training International’s business, which enables us to provide enhanced benefits to our existing customers through a greater product offering, a flexible approach to learning and a structured career development plan.

“PTS has developed web-based products that will help personal trainers effectively manage client programmes and enhance productivity. We believe that PTS provides the ideal vehicle to diversify our development of products that will brings health and fitness professionals to the next level in their career.”
