This year’s Liverpool Fitness Professional Awards at The Hilton saw local individuals and companies recognised for their work within the fitness industry and was once again a hit with celebrities.
In addition to celebrating achievements and excellence in the city’s booming fitness industry, the evening also raised money for the dedicated charity, An Hour For Others.

“Judging by the reaction of the 300 guests we did just that whilst raising money for our dedicated Liverpool charity An Hour For Others. Next year we’ll be hosting more Fitness Professional Awards around the country, but the great city of Liverpool will always be our home.”
