The cream of the health and fitness industry gathered in Telford, Shropshire this week, as 14 awards and three special accolades were distributed at the highly-anticipated Flame Awards 2014. The awards took place on 2 July at the Telford International Centre, and were held in conjunction with ukactive’s annual Flame Conference.

This year’s event underwent a shake-up to better reflect how the leisure sector has evolved, as well as to create opportunities for clubs, industry suppliers and stakeholders to celebrate how their work impacts health.

“Every year the quality of entrants just gets better and better. The Flame awards winners are undeniably the best of the best and a credit to our sector,” said ukactive CEO Dave Stalker.

“The Flame awards assessment process is known for being the most rigorous in the industry, so to go home with the top prize in your category is the ultimate endorsement of hard work, dedication and excellence.”

Gymtopia received the 2014 ukactive Matrix Outstanding Achievement Award.
