The move is designed to empower the next generation of fitness professionals
With the fitness industry projected to experience significant labor growth, ABC Fitness has made a bold move for aspiring fitness professionals. The fitness tech provider has partnered with the University of Cincinnati’s Fitness Science program in the College of Education, Criminal Justice and Human Services to equip upcoming fitness professionals with the skills and knowledge needed to own and operate a fitness business.
Students in the Exercise Science program will receive access to the fitness tech company’s administration and personal training platforms, ABC Glofox and ABC Trainerize, concentrating on boutique gyms and personal training.
“Our partnership with the University of Cincinnati’s Exercise Science program reflects our shared commitment to advancing fitness education and empowering the next generation of fitness professionals,” ABC Fitness CEO Bill Davis said. “By giving students hands-on experience with the same tools used by leading gyms, studios and trainers around the world, we are helping to shape the future of the industry and ensure these future leaders are ready to thrive in a rapidly evolving field.”
In addition to advancing their knowledge in fitness science, students will also gain important entrepreneurial and management skills.
“The collaboration with ABC Fitness provides our students with an invaluable opportunity to apply what they’ve learned in the classroom to real-world scenarios,” said University of Cincinnati’s Associate Prof. Julia Buchanan. “Experience with industry-leading software ensures our students graduate not only with theoretical knowledge, but with the practical skills to succeed in a competitive job market, further cementing that our program is leading the way in Fitness Science. We’re incredibly grateful for this support.”
