Origin Fitness Achieves Gold Investors in People Standard

This month, the team at Origin Fitness were pleased to receive the news that following our annual assessment by Investors in People, the business has been awarded the highly sought-after Gold accreditation.

The Gold Accreditation is only achieved by 7% of all its applicants. Origin Fitness has been using the IIP system as an opportunity to drive operational improvements since 2013. As part of the process, the benchmarking ranked Origin Fitness in the 2nd percentile of all organisations undertaking the assessment.

“IIP has become a hugely important assessment for us at Origin Fitness. Our company vision is to be the best commercial fitness equipment company in the UK; the best to work with, the best to work for, striving to be better every day. By becoming ‘the best to work for’ we hope to attract, retain and develop the best talent in the industry. This, in turn, will let us deliver the exceptional service we strive for to our customers.

Our staff are a key differentiator for us in a competitive fitness marketplace so ensuring we’re supporting and developing them, allowing them to be the best they can be is essential.

This time, being awarded the gold level accreditation is a great indicator to our management team that the work we have been doing over the past 12 months is paying off.

We’d like to extend our congratulations to our friends at the Gym Group who also achieved the Gold standard recently – we’re pleased to know that this is the kind of company we are keeping.” - Paul Bodger, Managing Director Origin Fitness

Paul Devoy, Head of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Origin Fitness. Investors in People accreditation is the sign of a great employer, and an organisation committed to achieving success by realising the potential of their people. Origin Fitness should be extremely proud of their achievement.”
