Leisure trust Tone has announced a new partnership with personal training management company Your PT.

The deal will expand Tone's personal training services as Your PT will provide personal trainers at five of Tone's health clubs across Devon and Somerset.

The trainers will offer free advice and inductions but will also be on hand to provide personal and group training sessions.

The additional training sessions with Your PT staff will not be included in the usual leisure centre membership but won't affect staffing as Tone's own fitness staff will remain in place to assist members with their workouts.

Joel Chapman, Tone's commercial director, said: "We're always looking for ways to provide new services for our members and introducing personal training is a great way to expand our offering.

"Our own staff will still be walking the gym floors, helping people with their workouts and working with them to achieve their goals, all of which continues to be included in our membership fee.

"But those who want the highly tailored, structured and dedicated approach that comes with having a personal trainer no longer need to look to third parties outside the centre to provide that service."

Your PT trainers are all qualified to level three or higher. They are self-employed and work under the Your PT license scheme within partner leisure centres.
