Press release by EuropeActive member CityFit, a Polish chain of innovative fitness clubs:

Have you ever come across mean comments online? Of course, we’ve all seen lots of them – or maybe even written a few of them…? But now all haters are shaking in their boots, and it’s all due to the Meanie Busters. The campaign run by the CityFit chain and the Cancer Fighters Foundation is now supported by leading MMA fighters.

The dynamic and ever-changing world of Wellness is of value to everyone. When we embody Wellness, not only do we achieve well-being, but we also give off positive energy.

This is the idea that has always guided and inspired “Let’s Move for a Better World”, a global Campaign from 11-30 March 2019 that collects our individual energy and directs it towards a common goal: the fight against obesity and sedentary lifestyles.

With only a few weeks to go, it’s time for a programme update for one of our most notable events: the International Standards Meeting (ISM) on 15 and 16 November in Warsaw, Poland. This event brings together key stakeholders from the industry, including employers, training providers and representatives of national registers. Delegates from Brazil to Finland and from Greece to the United States have already signed up.
