Register of exercise professionals UK. Unprofessional action towards a member
I joined as a member of REPS thinking it was a validated UK register of exercise professionals paying a membership fee. I since found out REPSUK.ORG IS NOT endorsed by CIMSPA which is the only recognised professional body for fitness professionals in the UK. They actually charge PT members for any messages coming through their site. I was not aware that their message system charged £10 per message contact and when I asked them to disable it on my profile I was swiftly deleted from the site and refunded my membership with no dialogue saying I was not suitable for their membership body. I raised their unclear charges as a concerned member and their response to immediately cancel and remove my profile from the site immediately without dialogue - a punitive response to a valid challenge. I have found it to be a most unprofessional approach to a member of their organisation. I am somewhat perplexed a business would act this way to a customer, but my subsequent research has revealed they a re not there to support the fitness industry, they are a money maker owned by private individuals. their membership is misleading.
