The Fitness English List
Fitness English List 1.2
The Fitness English List 1.2 (Browne, C. & Culligan, B., 2020), also known as the FEL 1.2, is a wordlist that was created in order to allow efficient communication in the highly specialized medium of the fitness and wellness industry.
Originally developed by Charlie Browne Company Inc for a chain of English-medium gyms in Japan, we are able to share our research and NGSL-compatible word list with the general public (the chain of gyms is using a different version of the list that does not include the NGSL). Based on a 9.7 million-word corpus of various fitness-related texts, websites and YouTube channels, the 600 words of the FEL gives up to 98% coverage of common fitness materials when combines with the 2800 words of the NGSL. This project highlighted the value of learning the foundational words of the NGSL in helping people to succeed in various real world situations, not just in traditional academic settings.
