The Fitness Group, the UK’s leading fitness education training provider, has appointed David Stalker as Associate Director.

Holding senior executive roles for the likes of Alliance Leisure, EuropeActive, ukactive and as a founding chairman of CIMSPA, Stalker is a highly respected industry expert who has driven the health and fitness sector forward across the UK and Europe during his long-standing career.

I’m excited to support them on this mission.
