REPs Business and Marketing course for the Fitness Professional

REP's Business and Marketing for the Fitness Professional Course Overview

This course will provide you with business critical skills and knowledge to build your commercial enterprise into a highly profitable and professional business. The course is an up to the minute crash course in successful commerce and has been written and researched by the Director of Discovery Learning Alan Jackson. Alan has a Post Graduate Diploma in Management Studies and has spent 20 years in Health and Fitness Management working at a senior level for both private and public enterprise, and more recently has built up Discovery Learning and Weight Management Centre from a one man operation started 10 years ago to a company with an annual turnover of £2.5m.

This business course is not like any other out there.  You will be learning from those that have done it and have the scars to prove it. The course author wrote: “All of the things that I would have dearly loved to have known 12 years ago when I set out I have brought to this course. All my mistakes (of which there are plenty) and all the things I could have done better if only I knew are all included.” All that I have learned and continue to learn as a Director I have incorporated and I believe this course is an absolute must for all potential new business owners and managers working in our industry.”

The course is also co-presented by one of the UK's most successful new Personal Trainers, who trained with Discovery and now runs his own growing empire of personal training clients and PT's.  Don't settle for any other business course, take it from those that really know, and you won't regret it.
