Bursary launched for fitness instructors
Training company YMCAfit has launched a £50,000 bursary to subsidise the costs of its current specialist populations training courses. By offering course subsidies worth up to 25 per cent, the charity is aiming to increase the number of fitness professionals who can safely teach groups such as pregnant women and new mothers, older adults and people with a range of disabilities. Many of the groups are at present
unable to take part in exercise because facilities or instructors are unable to cater for their specific needs – something demonstrated by research conducted by YMCAfit and Aspire. The findings of Aspire research shows two and a half times fewer disabled people take part in sporting activities compared to non-disabled people. Denise Page, head of YMCAfit, says: “We
passionately believe that everyone should be able to take part in some form of exercise, regardless of age, physical condition or ability.
