Focus Training operations director Ben Jackson expects the initiative will save businesses money on training
Health and fitness tuition provider Focus Training is making a renewed push to expand its presence in the corporate market through the launch of a new Staff Academy.
The Staff Academy has been created to provide bespoke training to employers seeking staff training at their own venue, with Focus bidding to harness its experience of working with local authorities, gyms and universities to make strides in the corporate market.
The academy is being pitched as “the most convenient and cost-effective way” to train five or more staff in the health and fitness arena, with Focus tutors travelling out to businesses to provide bespoke CPD workshops or fully-accredited PT qualifications.
As well as saving clients time and money, Focus says its tailored training will boost team morale and improve staff retention rates.
“Whether you are a multi-venue local authority or an independent gym, our Staff Academy will add value and save you money on your training programme,” said operations director Ben Jackson.
“We provide expert tutors on-site who are backed by our experienced head office team who will ensure that every aspect of the service is outstanding.”
In order “to celebrate the start of the new term,” Focus is currently offering businesses a free training needs analysis and a 10 per cent discount off first bookings for five students or more.
According to research which tracked more than 147,000 people for 30 years, 90-120 minutes
