Celebrating successes and planning for more
FitEx-LITE sold out Digital pre-screen now fully operational
ExerciseNZ recently held its very first FitEx-LITE in
Christchurch – a one day multi-session education event
following in the footsteps of its bigger brother, the
3-day FitEx Conference help in Auckland each year in
November.
It was a phenomenal success, with the event being
sold out, and it hosted over 150 individuals, and eight
speakers presenting on topics ranging from business,
aqua, and indoor cycling to performance and recovery.
Based on the fantastic feedback from attendees, the
event planning for next year’s FitEx-LITE has already
started, with the date likely to be in early April 2020. The REPs digital pre-
screen
is
now
fully
operational. Realised in
beta form late last year for
exercise
professionals,
the new version now has
full facility management
integration, allowing for
REPs-registered facilities
to see a snapshot of all
pre-screens undertaken, and a quick glance traffic-light
system for identifying any members that may require
medical sign off, or need extra consideration when
developing an exercise program.
The digital pre-screen is an extension of the original
paper-based pre-screen, which was developed as a
best practice evidence-based pre-screen and guide
for exercise professionals. The new digital version also
includes a ‘quick access’ screen for casual users, and a
‘yoga readiness’ questionnaire.
