The Gym Group has become the first 24/7 UK gym chain to achieve the European certification, FITcert Level 4.

The FITcert scheme is led by EuropeActive and the Royal Netherlands Standardization Institute (NEN) and is the first recognised, sector-certification programme for Europe.

Joey Franco, head of health and safety at The Gym Group said: “We are proud to be sector leaders for health and safety excellence. To achieve the externally audited FITcert Level 4 certification is further great recognition of our commitment and demonstrates to our members and teams how seriously we take the health and safety of our gyms.”

Kai Troll, CEO, EuropeActive says the scheme sets the highest quality benchmark across Europe for industry health and safety standards: “Operators who successfully achieve this full certification are not only conforming to European standards, but making a clear statement to their customers, colleagues, other stakeholders, and the public about their commitment to quality, safety, and the overall customer experience. Congratulations to The Gym Group's hard-working staff on this fantastic achievement.”

Kiwa, a UKAS accredited certifying body, was the external certifying body for The Gym Group.

Last year The Gym Group, which has 240 gyms and more than 900,000 members in the UK, received UKAS accredited certification for the international standard for health and safety management systems, ISO 45001:2018.

It is also the UK’s first carbon neutral gym chain and has committed to a science based target to achieve net zero by 2045.

Further to this, The Gym Group is an early adopter of Female Health First training and is working with The Well HQ to educate its personal trainers in working with midlife women.
