The Well HQ, experts in female health, have teamed up with The Fitness Group, the UK’s top fitness education training provider, to enhance personal trainers’ knowledge of female health.
Their education courses aim to improve trainers’ understanding of how to better support, train, and work with women and girls.
Topics covered include the menstrual cycle, breast health, and strategies to reduce injury rates.
About The Well HQ
Launched in 2021 by former Team GB rower Baz Moffat, Dr. Emma Ross, and Dr. Bella Smith, The Well HQ is driven by a shared belief in the vital role of physical activity and its profound health benefits for women throughout their lives.
Their mission is to translate scientific knowledge about female health into clear, engaging, and accessible messages.
Groundbreaking Menopause Courses
The menopause courses, crafted by The Well HQ and delivered by The Fitness Group, are pioneering as they are the first to align with the Professional Standard for Working with Women and Girls.
These courses cover essential aspects to consider and incorporate when working with women, making them indispensable for fitness professionals.
Baz Moffat, CEO at The Well HQ, stated: “The menopause is now a mainstream topic in female health. Recent advancements have spurred widespread interest, not just among midlife women.
High-profile figures like Gabby Logan have helped normalise the conversation, and corporate menopause policies have further fostered an inclusive environment.
There is immense potential for exercise to support midlife women and alleviate their symptoms, which is why our partnership with The Fitness Group is crucial for raising awareness.
I want it to be standard for exercise professionals to learn about all female health topics, particularly menopause.”
Industry-Wide Impact
Steven Dick, Co-Founder & Director at The Fitness Group, praised The Well HQ’s efforts: “The Well HQ is doing outstanding work in women’s health, creating content that is accessible to everyone.
This partnership will educate the fitness industry on how exercise can empower women and girls to take charge of their health, happiness, and performance.”
The Fitness Group offers courses globally through its online platform and across the UK in major cities like London, Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham, Bristol, Derby, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.
Their mission is to equip aspiring personal trainers with a comprehensive foundation in health, nutrition, fitness, and specialized areas like pre and post-natal training.
