Fitness and exercise

The Register for Exercise Professionals was set up to recognise personal achievement and competencies of qualified exercise professionals and to help safeguard the interests of people who are using the services of exercise and fitness instructors. The Register uses a process of self-regulation that recognises industry-based qualifications, practical competency, and requires exercise professionals to work within a Code of Ethical Practice

Exercise Council Wales (ECW) was established to drive forward developments in the Welsh Health and Fitness industry with the aim of creating the appropriate infrastructure to expand the exercise and fitness workforce in support of the Welsh Assembly Government's Climbing Higher strategy. ECW actively consults with employers and employees and provides advice, support and advocacy on issues such as training, career development and best practice within the Health and Fitness Sector.

There are also many publications relating to fitness available from Coachwise, including circuit training, fitness testing, (PASS) power, agility, speed and stability, warming up and cooling down and general conditioning.
