Working with FitpPro to deliver instructor training for its new children’s fitness product, KidzMove, Active IQ Academy is providing the eLearning and online resources to ensure that all instructors are safe and knowledgeable in their delivery of health and fitness training for children.

Launching January 2012, KidzMove is designed to get children more active and help combat the growing childhood obesity epidemic.   Aiming to get children more active and make healthy living a habit before children reach adulthood, KidzMove uses FitPro's unrivalled fitness resources to create a series of exercise programmes for children. Delivered in health clubs around the world, the programmes are a varied and comprehensive resource for anyone passionate about getting children healthy, active and confident.

  Andy Jackson, Global Commercial Director at FitPro, said: "KidzMove is all about getting children excited about playing, dancing, running, having fun and moving. It will be a massive boost to the fitness industry as we play our part in improving the nation's health."   Gemma Osman, Curriculum and Education Manager at FitPro, continued: "We had a huge opportunity to share our fitness expertise and, through our partnership with Active IQ Academy, we will be providing the best online resources and course delivery for our instructors. The Academy's eLearning resources benefit visual and auditory learners and provide flexibility that allows our instructors to work through the qualifications at their own pace."   Yvonne Cooper, Director at Active IQ Academy, commented: "KidzMove is a partnership we are extremely committed to.

With childhood obesity on the increase in the UK, it's crucial to do as much as we can to try and change this culture. The Academy's resources will give the instructors the tools to make sure their knowledge levels and training delivery are exceptional and will help to drive the active culture we're trying to instil in the youth of today."   KidzMove is a children's fitness product, which was launched in January 2011 by FitPro in association with LazyTown. FitPro has over 125,000 members worldwide and is the power behind leading industry brands including ViPR, PtontheNet and Les Mills in the UK.

Responsible for delivering continuous professional development courses to more than 3,000 instructors every year, it is now branching out into the qualifications market to provide complete tailor made solutions to individuals and clubs looking for industry leading qualifications, further education resources and products.   Active IQ Academy's eLearning library is being populated continuously.
