Hospitality Awards 2025 | 23 AIS-Aug25272 Best Fitness Education Provider 2025 – UK As demand for high quality fitness education continues to grow across global markets, learners are seeking flexible, career-ready pathways that align with industry standards. The Fitness Group Education has built its reputation on delivering health, fitness, and wellness training across the UK, Europe, the UAE, and Asia. As The Fitness Group Education is recognised for its excellence in the Hospitality Awards 2025, we spoke to Steven Dick, Co-Founder and Director, for more. Based in the UK, The Fitness Group Education is a leading force in the evolution of fitness education, known for its learnerfirst philosophy and commitment to industry excellence. With a growing international footprint and a reputation for innovation, the organisation continues to redefine how aspiring fitness professionals are trained, supported, and empowered to succeed in a fast-changing global landscape. The Fitness Group Education’s range of study options are designed to serve hospitality partners of every size and specialism. These include boutique hotels in urban centres; luxury resorts seeking bespoke wellness solutions; spa and leisure facilities focused on staff development; fitness clubs recruiting new talent; and respected national sports organisations, such as the English and Scottish Professional Footballers Associations. The organisation works with national and local gym chains – including JD Gyms, PureGym, David Lloyd, and Virgin Active – to design recruitment strategies and team development pathways. Through these collaborations, it supports instructors and personal trainers who are ready to advance their careers within major fitness brands. In addition, The Fitness Group Education’s exclusive status as the UK’s TRX Education Partner and its Boxercise partnership enables it to deliver specialised CPD courses in functional training and boxing-based fitness, empowering coaches to expand their expertise and offer engaging, evidence-based programmes to clients from various backgrounds. What’s more, The Fitness Group Education’s service offer extends to government, military, and public-sector organisations; as an approved ELCAS Funding Partner and exclusive provider for the Ministry of Defence Police UK, the organisation guides current and ex-military personnel as they embark on new careers in fitness and wellness. The team provides tailored course guidance and career transition support, ensuring that each learner receives individual attention. For hospitality venues, these partnerships translate to practical benefits: upskilling staff in areas such as sports massage, nutrition, or group exercise; implementing specialist workshops like TRX Suspension Training for resort teams; and developing branded CPD events for spa and wellness retreats. Online and blended learning formats ensure accessibility for every learner, regardless of location. “In all cases, our programmes are shaped by the specific needs of each partner,” Steve told us, “helping hospitality venues to enhance member retention, improve guest experiences, and invest in the long-term wellbeing of their teams. What has become clear over time for The Fitness Group Education is that strong relationships with course participants built through attentive listening and thoughtful response are the foundation for genuinely memorable learning experiences. Yet, the organisation understands that it is equally important to note that some learners may require more intensive support than others, prompting a continual adjustment to its approach. While the team aims for encouragement and positivity, it recognises that genuine progress is sometimes born from grappling with difficulty or uncertainty – rather than from seamless advancement. “Every participant, whether joining the Pilates hub in London or enrolling online, is greeted with professionalism," said Steve. “Nevertheless, behind this structured welcome lies an evolving enrolment process that seeks both efficiency and depth. Accessibility remains an aim, but occasionally the path to clarity involves addressing unexpected questions or challenges that arise. We strive to set the right tone from the outset, though we have learned that the most impactful experiences tend to unfold as support deepens and communication continues well beyond initial contact.” As learner expectations continue to evolve, The Fitness Group Education remains committed to adaptability. Its CPD offerings – ranging from mental health awareness to pre- and post-natal exercise – are regularly reviewed and refined in response to sector trends and client feedback. Some developments gain traction quickly, while others require iteration and patience, but the organisation’s focus on relevance and responsiveness remains unwavering. Looking ahead, expansion into Romania, Saudi Arabia, and the broader Middle East signals both ambition and agility. Participation in events like Dubai Active offers visibility, yet the team remains grounded in the realities of new markets – where regulatory shifts and cultural nuance demand strategic flexibility. With continued gym accreditation and new educational hubs on the horizon, The Fitness Group Education is set to strengthen its standing as the UK’s Best Fitness Education Provider 2025.
