Beyond The Talk

Beyond the Talk is a new series of intimate video podcast discussions that take a deeper look into some of the talks at Elevate 2023. This will see some key people from the panel, as well as a few special guests, get together and explore these topics further.

Why are we launching the Beyond the Talk series?

If you ask anyone who attended Elevate 2023 what they most enjoyed, they’ll mention the talks. Led by experts, they provide the opportunity to discuss the biggest issues on the fitness sector. We feel that Elevate, and so many other events like it, give a platform to start some incredible conversations. What we also recognise is that the conversation doesn’t end when we step off stage. Beyond the Talk exists so that we can continue the conversation long after these amazing events and keep exploring these essential topics further.

Episode 1

Inclusivity in Physical Activity, Health and Education

This talk between Carl Richards, Ali Jawad, Ben Sharman and Chris Rattenbury covers the different physical activity levels between those with and without impairments. They discuss why it’s important to understand and acknowledge this, and empower the workforce to start gaining the confidence to work with a variety of different abilities. Whether you’re a Personal Trainer or Pilates Instructor, running a gym or working in a leisure centre, inclusivity needs to be at the heart of what you do.

From Recruitment to Retention: How to build a Strong Team of PTs

This talk aims to explore the issue of recruiting and retaining personal trainers to benefit both clients, communities, and organisations. Within the scope of the pivot to active wellbeing, it is essential that high-calibre candidates are attracted to the industry and that they remain in role, gaining skills and experience, in order to fully support a changing demographic with increasing health challenges. Can we, as an industry attract and retain the best talent?
