PT of the Year
A winning Personal Trainer should be driven, well educated and have the ability to train both the small individual and the great champion. Furthermore, the person in question must have good social skills, and preferably stand out from the crowd in terms of both methodology and training tactics. High visibility in social media and print media is a plus, as visibility builds our training industry both short and long term.
Group Exercise Instructor of the Year
The person should be motivating, knowledgeable and have that little extra. Full classes, your own ideas, good technology, training and the ability to make customers stay are a must. The person should be associated with words like inspiration, commitment and innovative. And ideally reach a large audience outside the club walls.
Digital Inspirer of the Year
It should influence, touch and breathe training, while not becoming a textbook. Personal opinions should be expressed, but must not be confused with facts in a way that could be misinterpreted. Regular updates, moving material and a high motivation factor are rewarded.
Club/Gym of the Year
The facility should be primarily innovative. In addition, stand out and dare to take action. The word trend-setting is a plus, while there must be “business as usual” to survive. However, it does not consider profitability or turnover as a basic criterion, as a pioneer often has to bear the main cost of development.
Box of the Year
As in the “Club/Gym of the Year” category, a box should be innovative, stand out and dare to take its own approach. A good box is characterized by the breadth, community and joy where owners, coaches and members see each other and where the success of individual athletes / teams is only a bonus.
