Online Surveys: Informed Consent Text

This research project investigates the fitness industry in Malta with specific focus on fitness centres, in order to understand whether an enhanced offering can lead to sustainability and growth.

The research forms part of my MBA qualification at Henley Business School, part of the University of Reading.

You have been approached because you have never been an active member of a fitness centre in Malta. If you are an active member of a fitness centre, please fill in a different survey by following this link (https://www.survio.com/survey/d/T9O4X7T9B7P9K2J1Y) and if alternatively, you have been an active fitness centre member in the past but decided to quit, please fill in the survey on the following link: (https://www.survio.com/survey/d/H3S5T9G1Q3N2D8G1B).

I would be very grateful if you would agree to take part by completing this survey by (TBA).

Responses are anonymous and individual respondents will not be identified by name in the final report.

The project has been subject to ethical review in accordance with the procedures specified by the University of Reading Research Ethics Committee and has been given a favourable ethical opinion for conduct.

By completing the survey it will be understood that you are age 18 years or over and that you give consent for your responses to be used for the purposes of this research project.
