In Australia, there is currently an expectation among consumers for fitness services to be coupled with nutrition advice, particularly with regards to weight management and dietary supplementation. This has created a need for Registered Exercise Professionals (REPs) to find the balance between providing an appropriate level of nutrition advice to the client, without providing information beyond their scope of practice. Throughout the seminar you’ll hear from a variety of experts including, fitness business owners, exercise professionals and dietitians.
