REPS NEWS Hello and welcome!

Two new Members Services Officers have joined the REPs team – Tad Chapman and Alex Rhodes.

Both are REPs registered and have previously worked in fitness as PTs and fitness

managers. Their main roles will be helping deal with member enquiries and applications as well as representing REPs at events and conventions.

Tad said: “Part of my role will be helping refine the Higher Education Application process - an arduous task for applicants at present. I hope to find solutions to make this easier and more efficient for them and work with the SkillsActive Endorsement Team attempting to work with HE institutions to align their degree programmes with the entry

requirements for the Register.”

Alex added: “I’d like to help promote REPs to members of the public as I think everyone should be aware of the organisation and what we do. By increasing public awareness we can increase the value of the health and fitness professionals working in the industry.”
