3-1-5 Health Club has officially achieved The Active Standard, a certification that allows fitness and leisure operators to demonstrate the safety, quality and inclusiveness of their facilities.

By becoming certified to The Active Standard, X-Force UK Ltd is demonstrating its commitment to provide a safe, inclusive and high-quality service to its customers.

The standard was designed by ukactive, the UK’s trade body for the physical activity sector, with support from leading standards professionals and organisations across the UK and Europe.

It aims to support all gyms, leisure centres, swimming pools and other sport and fitness facilities to raise standards and welcome more people to be active.

It means 3-1-5 Health Club has been assessed on its health and safety practices, professional standards, safeguarding procedures, and data protection processes, helping to give visitors and customers greater confidence when using its facilities.

The assessment was conducted by Right Directions, an independent third-party assessment body, against strict criteria. If an operator is running multiple sites, then a sample of these is assessed. The certification will last for three years before re-assessment is required.

The Active Standard has been carefully aligned with the industry’s other major schemes, FITcert and Quest, to ensure the sector continues to improve and grow.
