Welcome
Welcome to the first EREPS newsletter which will form part of an important series of publications to help keep members informed about what is happening across Europe in the fitness industry. In just a few months EREPS has already become a world phenomenon and we have attracted members from 15 different countries. Eventually we shall see members of EREPS from all 36 countries and states that is the recognised geographic area of Europe.
Future editions of our newsletter will come in two main formats. The first will be a regular electronic bulletin - or e-bulletin - and the second will be an electronic journal/magazine – or e-zine - which will include more in-depth articles and access to a range of internet based media, news, reviews and technical information to help you develop your career as an exercise professional. We are running a 9 month trial to check with members that we have the balance and content right - and so we will be asking for your views on what you receive.
Log on
& promote yourself
- it's free!
When you join EREPS you will be given a unique registration number and password so that you can access your records on the EREPS database. You can't change your status of registration but you can change personal details and add a statement about yourself and contact details.
The service is free but it helps when people are searching for instructors and trainers that they can read more about you and then contact you directly if they want to. EREPS is a public register and we won't give out your contact details unless you say that we can - but soon we will have thousands of people searching our website to find trainers, training providers and even the places where you work. This will help understanding of the importance of EREPS and why serious professionals are members.

EREPS negotiated a very special liability insurance scheme with Lloyd's of London to make sure that members could buy the best cover at a very competitive premium. More >
The name of Fitness First is well-known and they have made a commitment to sign-up all of their instructors and personal trainers across Europe as a major drive to improve standards. More >
All 27,000 members of the UK register are also signed-up to EREPS and their model is being followed in the Netherlands and Portugal where national registers are being developed by their trade associations in conjunction with EREPS central office. More >
EREPS couldn't work without translating its key documents and processes into the languages of Europe. This is a big (and expensive) job involving many people who have good language and technical skills. More >
The standards and qualifications that EREPS uses are based on the European Qualification Framework (EQF) which was signed off by the European Parliament in April 2008. More >
 EREPS has a straightforward purpose - we simply need to ensure that we have enough skilled exercise professionals across Europe, so the fitness industry is able to safeguard and promote the health and interests of the people who use their services. More >
Prague in spring sounds attractive especially when it includes a major conference being organised by EREPS and EHFA that will have a focus on the development of new standards and how training providers across Europe can become involved in supporting CPD. More >
Whatever is happening in Europe is also happening all around the world with an increasing interest in qualifications and standards for exercise professionals. More >
