To provide franchisees with ongoing access to world-renowned, CIMSPA-endorsed, fitness and nutrition educational content, RISE Fitness has appointed Premier Global NASM as its preferred education partner.

The partnership will not only see all RISE franchisees enjoy preferential rates on all Premier Global NASM CPD education, it will also encourage newly welcomed franchisees who don’t hold a level 3 personal training qualification to undertake the Premier Global NASM Level 3 Diploma in Personal Training as part of their franchisee onboarding.

Speaking of the partnership, James Cotton, RISE co-founder and managing director, says: “Premier Global NASM is recognised all over the world as a leading provider of fitness and nutrition education.

“The whole area of certification and ongoing CPD can be tricky to navigate, especially for entrepreneurs entering from outside of the sector.

“Through this partnership, we’ll encourage our franchisees to map out their professional development plan with Premier Global NASM. This will ensure their investment in education is credible and will deliver what they need in order to remain relevant and on-trend in an ever-changing market.

He continues: “We were also drawn to Premier Global NASM because of the organisation’s investment in its sophisticated Live Learning Through Digital Technology platform. This grants access to a huge amount of online education content, delivered via a mix of live and pre-recorded tutorials, webinars and workshops, helping to reduce barriers and making it possible for individuals to fit professional development around other commitments.”

Premier Global NASM will also provide RISE franchisees with ongoing career development advice, helping them to realise their own individual development ambitions, while also offering recruitment support, granting access to the training providers large pool of graduates.

“Recruiting talent remains one of the most challenging, yet critical, factors in the management of any fitness business,” explains Dan Rees, managing director of Premier Global NASM.

“Each year, we train thousands of people and many of these are looking for exciting opportunities to succeed in the industry. Working with RISE, we’ll not only direct potential franchisees to their door, we’ll also work with the franchisee network to link them up with learners and graduates interested in working with one of the UK’s most exciting new fitness brands.”

The partnership came into effect in August 2021 and is part of Premier Global NASM’s ongoing strategy to link employers in the fitness sector with talented individuals keen to make a valuable contribution and build a sustainable career in the sector.
