Professional Fitness & Education – new name, same high standards of quality training provision
Northern Fitness & Education has been credited with an unrivalled reputation within the fitness and health industry for over 20 years. Over time the company’s course portfolio has expanded to include Yoga, Pilates, BoxRight and Aqua for Midwives, and now Later Life Training. Courses will be delivered in the South of England and Scotland, outside NFE’s traditional northern base. The trading name has changed to Professional Fitness and Education (PFE), with the word ‘Northern’ exchanged for ‘Professional’, which it is strongly believed is a true reflection of the esteem in which the company is held in the industry, and which underpins the training philosophy.
The long established and well recognised ‘blue logo’ which trademarks the company is retained. Under the Professional Fitness & Education umbrella brand are a family of products, - Modern Pilates, Physical Yoga, Aquafusion and the new ‘Fitness & Health’ product range, including partnerships with Later Life Training and BoxRight.

Fitness professionals given
support on 5-a-day According to a new study, over 96% of us admit to knowing that we should be eating five portions of fruit and veg every day. So why are only 11% of Brits achieving their daily 5-a-day target? Innocent has commissioned a new report called “Are you getting enough?” to find out why there is such a difference between what people know and what they do. According to the research, the main barriers to achieving 5-a-day are a lack of convenience, confusion around the target, cost and psychological barriers. To make achieving 5-a-day easier for everyone, the report also gives lots of helpful advice on easy ways to include more fruit and veg in the diet – find out more and download the study at www.innocentdrinksforhcps.com.
