About the Register of Exercise Professionals

The Register of Exercise Professionals is an independent public register set up to recognise the qualifications and expertise of exercise instructors in the UK. By ensuring exercise professionals are appropriately qualified with the competence and skills to perform their roles, REPs provides quality assurance and confidence to the professionals, employers and consumers of the health industry.

Members are acknowledged for their professionalism, their adherence to the industry's national standards and their ongoing commitment to education and development. Members are bound by a Code of Ethical Practice and hold appropriate public liability insurance. In order to remain on the Register, members must continue to meet the standards that are set for their profession through Continual Professional Development (CPD).

To gain recognition by the Register of Exercise Professionals, instructors must provide evidence that they meet the National Occupational Standards. These standards are produced by SkillsActive, the Sector Skills Council for Active Leisure & Wellbeing.

Membership also allows for the transferability of skills throughout the UK, across participating countries in Europe and around the world.
