5th Fitness Convention

The Discovery Vitality Fitness Convention is a neutral platform providing great networking and learning opportunities for all role players in the health fitness and sports industry.

The SA fitness industry requires fitness professionals to be multi-skilled. Often the fitness instructor is the coach, the trainer and the administrator. However, there is little opportunity for continuing education in SA both in the field of fitness and coaching.

Not to be missed!

• Group training summit: Always a highlight at previous conventions, the group training summit will include practical group training sessions with local and international representation.
• Personal training track: Practical and theory sessions covering various topics and trends relevant not only to personal trainers but all those involved in health, fitness and sport.
• Sports coaching track: New to the 2008 convention, this track will include presentations from leading sports coaches and trainers.
• Business and entrepreneurship track: A track dedicated to business development opportunities catering for individuals starting out as entrepreneurs to established operators.
• Science and research track: This track will deliver cutting edge research and how it can be applied to benefit all.
• Industry related forums: Panel discussions for fitness professionals in the industry with representation from key industry role-players.
