As 2014 draws to a close, we reflect on what a fantastic year it has been.
2014 saw the arrival of four new territories to our global distribution – Brazil, Mexico, Turkey and Greece – and over 3,000 instructors and trainers joined the ViPR community this year. The Loaded Movement Training concept really turned heads and continues to gather momentum across the world.
In July, alongside our flagship event FitPro LIVE, we hosted the first global ViPR Summit at ExCeL in London. The ViPR community came together to learn, develop and have a whole lot of fun. In 2014 we also launched the PT upskill workshops (Movement Prep and Lifting & Shifting for Strength), offered education for specialty populations with our military and pre- and postnatal programmes and continued to expand ViPR Group Fitness.
In 2015, we will introduce Meeting of the Minds (MOTM) alongside LIVE, replacing the ViPR Summit. MOTM brings together the most knowledgeable and highly respected individuals in fitness on a global scale to deliver inspiring fitness education. We hope to help grow and evolve this dynamic industry.
Another exciting development, from January 2015, is how we will deliver ViPR Group Fitness (VGF). FitPro has joined forces with MOSSA, a leading content provider for group fitness programming in the world and the chosen partner of Microsoft Xbox One. Visit mossa.net to learn more.
MOSSA has been keen to be involved with VGF programming for over two years and we see their enthusiasm, expertise and experience as a huge advantage for the development of VGF. We are absolutely certain that MOSSA’s input will result in a class format that has the broadest consumer appeal for the long term, without compromising the unique nature of ViPR. To learn more about the new ViPR workout, talk to the ViPR education team in your territory or email vipr@fitpro.com.
Finally, in 2015 FitPro celebrates 25 years of excellence in the fitness industry and we are excited to continue to bring you cutting-edge programmes and education.
2015 is going to be awesome ...see you there.
If you are heading into the holiday season, go safely.
