Designed for gym owners, managers, and industry professionals, the session covers key areas including risk management, operational guidelines, and facility safety. A key focus will be on the CWA’s routesetting and instructorship courses, which are designed to upskill staff, improve consistency, and maintain high industry standards across facilities. Attendees will also learn about available certifications and resources that help gyms align with global benchmarks and support long-term, sustainable growth.
