REPs is the New Zealand Register of Exercise Professionals. By having REPs Registration, you will gain the ability to work at REPs Registered Exercise Facilities. As the majority of facilities in New Zealand will only employ REPs Registered Exercise Professionals, getting your REPs Registration is an important part of your professional journey.
Being REPs registered also means you’re protected by public liability and professional indemnity insurance which covers you, your clients, and the facilities you are working under. REPs also provide special discounts on products and services, and discounted rates to events such as FitEx.

Working as a Personal Trainer in New Zealand has great earning potential. Standard 30-minute PT sessions charge out between $40 - $60, so working as little as 20 sessions per week (or 10 hours) you can earn up to $2,000!
