Freddie Osei

 

Founder and CEO of FITA

I have been in the fitness industry for over 20 years. I noticed the high turnover over Trainers in the industry at every club that I worked at. Realising that the main reasons for high turnover was the lack of effective sales training. I set about changing this fact.

Having fought at British and European levels whilst kick-boxing also being the unbeaten 'World' Shen Chi-do champion for 3 years, combat is something I hold dearly  to my heart, which has lead to my ventures as a boxing instructor and fight promoter.

Thus another bug-bear which I found regularly wound me up was the fact that many Personal Trainers found that boxing was a great exhilarating work out to give their clients - the only problem being was that most of the Personal Trainers were not trained to to an adequate standard to pass on knowledge in a safe manner - as boxing is so visual when a trainer gets it wrong it says lots about the professionalism and self policing standards within the industry.

I'm seeing out to improve the professional status and standing of Personal Trainers and slow down the ever revolving door which seems to be getting faster as the years go by.
