PRESS RELEASE

The Fitness Group Partners with SQUATWOLF to Drive The Middle East Region Growth

28 Oct 2024
The Fitness Group is partnering with SQUATWOLF / The Fitness Group / Squatwolf
The Fitness Group, the UK’s leading fitness education training provider, has announced a partnership with the leading homegrown premium gym wear brand SQUATWOLF.

Founded in 2016 by Anam Khalid and Wajdan Gul, a power couple inspired by the journey of self-actualization, SQUATWOLF was born in the UAE with a vision to elevate the human

experience by creating tools that help people become stronger. Today, SQUATWOLF is serving gym athletes in 120+ countries.

It all started when Anam and Waj realized there wasn’t a gym wear brand in the region that matched their love for the gym, its community, and the impact it has on all aspects of their

life. With SQUATWOLF’s purpose-driven innovation, every gym gear is designed with the gym-goer in mind from fit to stitch to fabric details. With products crafted to well-earned

physiques, they give people the confidence to look good and perform better with every Workout.

The partnership with The Fitness Group will help in setting a new benchmark towards excellence in fitness training in the region, reaching a wider and growing community of fitness professionals beyond The Fitness Group’s established headquarters in the UK.

Wajdan Gul and Anam Khalid, Co-founders of SQUATWOLF, commented: “This partnership embodies what SQUATWOLF is all about – defying the status quo, elevating the human experience, and empowering our community – our pack. The commitment and holistic experience towards excellence is what truly makes The Fitness Group inspiring and ready to elevate the fitness game in this region.”

The tie up will see the education provider become part of SQUATWOLF’s People Behind The Pack content series unpacking what it means to be a personal trainer on social media, whilst also educating trainers on an elevated holistic experience through community activations and seminars attended by The Fitness Group mentors and over 400+ SQUATWOLF ambassadors.

In August, The Fitness Group announced its entry into the Middle East market, identifying Dubai and Saudi Arabia as key growth markets as the business continues to expand internationally.

The Fitness Group will kick off their strategic expansion plans with a presence at Dubai Active, the Middle East’s leading fitness & wellness event taking place from 25th to 27th October, where they will introduce their globally recognised qualifications to key stakeholders, consumers, and businesses within the industry.

Commenting on the partnership with SQUATWOLF, Gavin Baxter, Chief Commercial Officer at The Fitness Group said: “SQUATWOLF has made an impressive positive impact in the Middle East Region, and their premium fitness apparel aligns perfectly with our industry-leading qualifications. Together, we aim to empower trainers by providing them with the essential tools and knowledge they need to succeed in their careers. We’re committed to enhancing the quality of education and professional development, ensuring trainers are well-equipped to deliver exceptional service to their clients. This partnership not only strengthens our mission but also supports the entire fitness sector, fostering a culture of excellence and innovation that benefits individuals and organisations alike.”

As well as providing courses globally through its online platform and the recent expansion into the Middle East and Europe, The Fitness Group currently offers courses all over the UK, with locations in key cities such as London, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Bristol, Derby, Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. As leaders in health, fitness and wellness education, their courses equip aspiring personal trainers with a robust foundation encompassing health, nutrition, fitness, and specialist areas like pre and post-natal, sports massage and employability support.
