One of those to have selected, Precor’s global education manager Erica Tillinghast, said the initiative is a great way to recognise the talent within the fitness industry.
“I'm thrilled to have been identified as a Rising Star in recognition for the work I undertake and for what I have achieved,” she said. “The education services at Precor have evolved over the last few years and I have been fortunate to have played a significant role in its growth.”
