Report on a Survey on the Situation, Trends and Perspectives in Employment in the Fitness Sector in selected EU countries
EA-FITNESS FINAL CONFERENCEBrussels, 10 September 2010
Matthias Guett
The aim of the EA-Fitness Employer Survey 2010 was to research the status quo for employment, mobility, VET systems and training programmes within the Fitness sector in at least seven EU countries.
The work consisted of both desk and primary research.
The reason for primary research was that the sector faces fundamental problem when looking for Labour Market Information as so far the SIC codes did not allow for data to be identified related to the fitness sector through the national data collection services.

Preliminary Conclusions:
Data received indicates a broad variety in the sector Data indicates interest in Professional Registers Data indicates Interest in Accreditation Data indicates that qualifications are required (although names vary) and that CPD and training is requested or envisaged Data indicates that mobility of work force seems still limited Data indicates training courses are widely provided (including
external providers) or envisaged for fitness staff Data indicates interest in EREPS and EHFA Standards and
Accreditation
Preliminary Conclusions:
Data allows vague tendencies only
Information exchange seems to be difficult in the sector
European issues might need to be better / further explained Further research on the labour market and employment needed
Methodology / approach to raise participation might need to be further developed / adapted
