Fernwood Fitness and Qualified Trainers partner to streamline compliance and enhance Group Fitness Management

Fernwood Fitness, one of Australia’s premier fitness brands with over 70 locations, has partnered with Qualified Trainers (QT) as a preferred supplier for compliance oversight and group fitness management. 

The partnership aims to streamline operations, tighten compliance protocols and elevate the group fitness experience for both staff and members.

Streamlining Compliance across the Business
Ensuring compliance is paramount for any fitness facility.

With QT, Fernwood Fitness clubs can effortlessly track the qualifications and certifications of its instructors and trainers, guaranteeing that essential credentials - such as First Aid, CPR, Blue Card, and insurance - remain current. QT’s standalone compliance tool keeps track of these certifications in real time, eliminating manual checks and significantly reducing the risk of oversight.

Elevating the Group Fitness Experience
Group fitness is central to Fernwood Fitness’s business model and ensuring an exceptional member experience has always been a top priority. By leveraging QT’s platform, clubs can minimise administrative tasks and focus on delivering high-quality classes. Real-time timetable management enables staff to easily create, update, and fill schedules. In the event of an instructor’s last-minute absence, QT makes it simple to find a qualified substitute, ensuring a seamless experience for members and preventing class cancellations.

Advanced Reporting for Informed Decision-Making
QT’s advanced reporting features offer in-depth insights into class attendance, instructor performance, and return on investment (ROI) based on capacity versus attendance. These valuable metrics empower gym owners and managers to make data-driven decisions, refine their class offerings, and further enrich the member experience.

The Vision Behind QT
Founded by experienced gym operators Jason Edwards  and Jay Ramsden, QT was built to address the common challenges gym owners face - such as compliance, scheduling, and payroll. Their mission is to provide a platform that simplifies group fitness management while keeping compliance at the forefront, allowing gyms to focus on delivering outstanding experiences for their members.

The Future of Group Fitness Management with QT
As QT continues to expand, it remains committed to delivering innovative, integrated solutions that help gym owners streamline their operations and enhance member experiences. Qualified Trainers (QT) brings together compliance tracking, scheduling, cover management, and advanced reporting in one platform - and with a soon-to-launch payroll feature, gyms have everything they need to thrive while guiding members toward their fitness goals.

Belinda Amir Wheaton, General Manager of Fernwood Fitness enthused “we’re excited to partner with Qualified Trainers as our preferred supplier for compliance, cover-management, and group fitness management.

“QT will not only support Fernwood Fitness clubs in tracking certifications and compliance, but also helps streamline the entire group fitness process, including managing class covers and providing advanced reporting.

"This comprehensive approach ensures that our clubs run smoothly, and more importantly, helps us deliver the best possible experience to our members.”
