About EREPS
The European Register of Exercise Professionals (EREPS) is an independent process for the registering of all instructors, trainers and teachers working across Europe in the exercise and fitness industry. It is a pan-European system, based on independent national registers, culminating in a central European database.
Registration means that an exercise professional has met prescribed minimum standards of good practice including the adoption of a Code of Ethical Practice and that they are committed to raising standards through a process of continuing professional development.
There are 35 counties within the geographic area of Europe which will be included within the development of EREPS.
