London, England -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/22/2013 -- It seems like fitness has become the new currency in a busy world that sees increasing demands on our time, working hours and family life. Latest Industry trends show that we're all working longer hours leading to increasing sedentary lifestyles, higher stress levels and associated health problems including cardiovascular disease and obesity.

With the UK now officially recognised as the second most obese nation in the world the demand for fitness services and personal training has, according to recent market reports, hit a new high. One company who know exactly what the obesity crisis means for the health of the nation is MotivatePT the country's largest personal training brand. Tony Richards, Commercial Manager at MotivatePT explains, "As a nation, it seems that we are far more prepared to spend money on our health and fitness than previous generations did. We're also noticing a trend amongst younger couples to focus on career first and then starting families much later in life compared to previous generations. This has definitely caused a shift in financial wherewithal and a change in mentalities, with many parents-to-be focusing on staying as fit as possible for starting a family and maintaining this so they can enjoy their children as they grow."

Health club chain Fitness First recently reported that personal training is the number one reason members say they want to join their health clubs. But thanks to Companies like MotivatePT, those looking to shift the pounds and get in shape, no longer even need to step foot in a gym. Richards comments, "More and more people are now looking for solutions that will help them to lose weight, stay fit and healthy and which can easily fit with their lifestyle. Customer's want convenience and flexibility above all else and a service that's tailored to them. Our trainers come direct to the customer wherever they may be and with personal trainers available nationally we're able to cover just about every corner of the UK."

Marie Watts, who works as an IT consultant in South West London has been having home-visit personal training sessions for over 2 years. She tells us, "I needed to lose weight and had tried almost everything. I finally decided I would give personal training a go. My trainer comes to my home, meaning I never waste a session. It's kept me consistent and I have lost over 4 stone. I am now in the best shape I have ever been. My husband and I are looking to start a family later this year and staying in shape is therefore essential for me. The convenience of having sessions at home is also a big positive. For me it's a lifestyle decision and something I can see myself carrying on for the long term."

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/28/2013 -- One of the UK's fastest growing fitness companies, MotivatePT, have won a coveted business award from Natwest Fast Growth in the area of health and fitness. The Company who provide personal training across the UK, have won a host of business achievement awards since their launch - adding numerous well-known celebrities to their portfolio of satisfied customers. Renowned for the physical transformations that they achieve, MotivatePT have appeared on Channel 4 and BBC Television and have been asked to collaborate on an upcoming reality weight loss show airing on Sky Living early next year.

Tony Richards, Commercial Manager at MotivatePT comments, "It's always an honour to be recognised for what you do. Awards are a great acknowledgement that you're moving in the right direction. But like any good business we don't take awards to heart. We're always striving to improve the services we offer by providing our customers with the very latest cutting-edge programs, training concepts and value-added services."

The Fitness Industry has seen dramatic growth over the last 10 years and is one of just a few market sectors that have managed to buck the economic recession, continuing to grow at an average of 6% per annum over the last 5 years. As Richards explains, "Personal fitness is considered an essential part of life for our customers and certainly no longer just the simple luxury that it once was. In our 2012 poll of over 2,000 customers from all social backgrounds, health was ranked their number one priority, far outranking other factors such as financial or career success. I believe that this mindset is now far more prevalent across the UK with more and more people looking to improve their health and to feel happy and confident about their bodies. Health is most certainly the new wealth."

MotivatePT provide a unique home-visit service which means that customers don't need to join a gym or even step outside their front door, as the Company's mobile trainers bring all the fitness equipment with them. The Company delivers sessions in customers' homes, outdoor spaces and even to busy executives living out of hotel rooms. "We can deliver personal training sessions almost anywhere," explains Richards. "Our trainers are spread out far and wide across the whole of the UK meaning that we have personal trainers in almost every major town and city. We find that our clients experience the benefits of one-to-one personal training very quickly and become very attached to their regular fitness schedules. We even had one high profile client last year who took their trainer with them on work trips to New York and Paris. Now that's what we call commitment!"
