For gyms

Certify your team. Meet Saudisation.

From 18 Nov 2026, private gyms in Saudi Arabia with 4+ staff need 15% Saudi nationals across 12 roles, including personal trainer. IFA certifies new and existing staff, in Arabic or English, with women-only cohorts.

Cited: Gulf News, Saudi Arabia to localise 12 key jobs in private-sector sports facilities by November 2026.
