Delegates were able to choose from a range of practical workshops sessions on exercise for ultimate fat loss, speed training, social media, cardiac rehabilitation, ViPR, studio powerbag conditioning, creating and maintaining motivation, integrated back training, mental health issues, muscle testing and physiology, and strength and conditioning, earning them four CPD points.
They also heard from keynote speaker and weight loss guru Pete Cohen, REPs Registrar Jean-Ann Marnoch, and SkillsActive’s activepassport manager Claire Westrop.
Jean-Ann said: “Our conventions always have a good vibe but this was one of the best yet. Our members are passionate about the work they do and en masse that enthusiasm and drive is incredible to see.
“As ever our practical workshops were hugely popular and everyone left feeling tired but inspired!”
The next REPs convention will be held in Cardiff on February 8 2012. This will be followed by the South East convention planned for May 10 2012 and a new bumper National convention to coincide with Leisure Industry Week in late September.

A course is a unit of teaching that is led by one or more tutors, teachers or professors and made up of individual sessions, typically on a fixed schedule or scheme of work. It may combine a range of learning formats, such as practical sessions and lectures and will contain a mandatory invigilated assessment, either practical and/or written depending on the submission.
Category 1 courses can be delivered via online/home learning formats, although all practical assessments must be completed face to face with the learner or submission of a video.
This category of CPD training requires a minimum of eight hours of learning (not including assessment) and must be mapped in part to the relevant national occupational standards.
