​Manila, 17 April 2018. Fitness First Philippines and the Philippine Rugby Football Union (PRFU) has recently renewed its partnership for another two (2) years to keep the Philippine Volcanoes fit and strong as it continues its quest to bring pride and honor to the country. With the renewed partnership, the Philippine Volcanoes will continue to have unlimited access to all Fitness First clubs in the Philippines. Not only will Philippine Volcanoes have access to world-class fitness equipment and group classes but also to advice and trainings from fitness experts vigorously trained by Fitness First.

PRFU will continue to support and showcase Fitness First logos on the National Team training shirts and singlets and promote Fitness First in its advertising and marketing platforms.

Fitness First today has clubs in 16 countries making it a leader in the fitness industry. Fitness First has lived up to its philosophy to offer the best equipment, range of classes, knowledgeable staff and personal advice in a welcoming environment that feeds their members’ motivation. Fitness First's vision of providing the best equipment and offering a variety of classes to the public is not only ideal for the Philippine Volcanoes but also provides an opportunity to explore other effective ways to be fit and strong in preparation for tournaments. As Jake Letts, PRFU General Manager, said, “Philippine Rugby is extremely happy with the renewal, another two years with Fitness First will ensure our athletes remain in the best shape to represent the national team, most importantly, the country. It's so important for our High-Performance elite athletes to regularly conduct strength training. With the addition of the watchful eye of our Elite Performance Manager Chris Everingham, he uses the facilities to best measure, advise and conduct high-intensity levels of training knowing that Fitness First facilities have all the requirements needed to get the required results. It's exciting for the our national program”.

​The renewed partnership of Fitness First and PRFU signifies a strong collaboration of the two organizations to promote fitness and the sport of rugby to the general public. Fitness First Philippines General Manager, Mark Ellis, is as thrilled as Jake Letts as the two organizations work hand in hand to create a fitness strategy and plan for the National Team and set a goal to win medals for the Philippines.
