AthleFIT will be delivered by trainers and leaders who will be trained using our own 3 hour training programme so that we can ensure that those taking part receive a  consistent delivery of this new fun fitness programme which will "take athletics to the people".

Leaders will come from all areas, from  leaders who are EA/UKA trained to those working in the fitness industry and who are REPs accredited or that work as fitness professionals and hold their own insurance. More importantly Athlefit will be delivered in local facilities such as school halls, faith centres and anywhere there is a need and that people feel comfortable.

• For those who want to get ahead and get Athlefit moving in their areas training workshops are already available nationwide.
• For those who are already REPs accredited the workshop will gain you 3 REPs CPD points.

Ultimately AthleFIT should be fun, flexible, accessible and challenging for the individual whatever their level of experience or indeed whatever their expectation or aspiration. AthleFIT combines the best of what are fundamentally athletic running, jumping and throwing events applied with the traditional circuit training approach.

England Athletics CEO Chris Jones said, "It really is about getting back to basics and for many of those people who experienced Sportshall athletics as a youngster this will be like a trip down memory lane for them. The next year will see England Athletics introduce an AthleFIT leaders' workshop alongside other resources in anticipation of a nationwide launch in June 2013."
