\u2022 Empowering Saudi talent: Leejam moves closer to graduating the first cohort of certified \u201cFitness Time\u201d trainers
\u2022 National training-for-employment program reaches its final stages
\u2022 Reinforces Leejam\u2019s commitment to nurturing national sports talent and supporting Saudi Vision 2030 goals<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leejam<\/a><\/strong> Sports Company, the owner and operator of \u201cFitness Time\u201d the largest gym chain in the MENA region and a publicly listed company on the Saudi Exchange (Tadawul), continues to play a pioneering role in developing Saudi Arabia\u2019s sports and fitness sector by investing in the training and empowerment of young Saudi talent.
In this context, Mr. Ali Al-Sagri, Chairman of the Board of Directors at Leejam, visited the headquarters of the Saudi Academy of Sports Sciences in Riyadh, where he met with trainees enrolled in the National Training-for-Employment Program, launched by Leejam in partnership with the Academy in Q4 2024. More than 250 male and female participants are currently undergoing intensive training to become certified Fitness Time trainers, following world-class standards that prepare them to immediately join the workforce upon graduation.
During the visit, Mr. Al-Sagri stated: \u201cAt Leejam Sports, we believe that Saudi youth are the cornerstone of the future of the fitness and sports industry. Through our training-for-employment programs, we are strategically investing in building their capabilities so they can serve as ambassadors of the quality and expertise that Fitness Time delivers. This initiative reflects our clear commitment to supporting Vision 2030 by empowering national sports talent and contributing to the creation of a healthier and more vibrant society.\u201d
Mr. Al-Sagri extended his gratitude to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for their continued investment in and support of the Kingdom\u2019s sports sector, as well as their efforts to enable a healthier, more active, and prosperous society. He also expressed appreciation to Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal, Minister of Sports, for his unwavering support of the sector and of Leejam\u2019s initiatives to train and equip national talent to enter the sports and fitness workforce with world-class professionalism.
During his tour, Mr. Al-Sagri reviewed the progress of the program, observed the skills participants have acquired, and listened to their feedback and suggestions. He also directed the Academy\u2019s amanagemnt to provide all necessary support to ensure trainees are fully prepared to join the workforce after graduation, and discussed expanding future groups, including enabling trainees outside Riyadh to benefit from Fitness Time clubs across the Kingdom, ensuring equal training opportunities nationwide.
The program is a voluntary initiative by Leejam, despite there being no mandatory requirements for the localization of sports training professions. This reflects the company\u2019s proactive approach and its leadership role in creating a new generation of qualified Saudi trainers. Leejam Sports affirms its ongoing commitment to investing in national human capital and expanding its training programs, strengthening its position as the leader of Saudi Arabia\u2019s fitness industry and a key driver of the sector\u2019s growth and development locally and regionally.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
