Summary Legal Aspects of Personal
Training
– minor PT
Book: Chapter 25
This chapter explores the legal aspects of personal training. It concentrates on
the expected standard of care owed to fitness client by personal trainers as well
as service delivery issues for these professionals. Risk management in this
context is the identification of various risks applicable to personal training
activities as obtained through internal or external audit, and then the use of
such findings in efforts to eliminate, reduce or transfer those risks to improve
the safe delivery of services.
Risk avoidance and minimization strategies focus on the safe and effective
screening of fitness clients, the proper recommendation or prescription of
activity, the appropriate provision and supervision of training exercise and the
effective delivery of emergency response when necessary – all in accordance
with accepted standards and guidelines.
Personal Trainers should use the principles of risk management to ensure the
safety of clients and to prevent costly lawsuits.
Claims and Litigation
Claims and litigation are surely stressful for the party who assert and institutes
the proceedings. Professionals who must respond to and defend against such
claims are also likely to be stressed by the mere receipt of a claim, not to
mention by their defences against the filling and receipt of a lawsuit asserted
against them related to a claim that is nog resolved prior to it judicial
determination.
However, if the personal training should be able to avoid, minimize, or
adequately respond to and defend against relevant claims and suits.
Fitness Industry Response to Claim and Litigation
Standards and guidelines establish the parameters of appropriate practice for
professions such as personal training. Certification is the assessment of
competence for the particular profession. Accreditation is the official
recognition that an organisation’s educational program or certification test (or
both) meets specified criteria.
, First, the industry has developed standards and guidelines applicable to the
appropriate delivery of service.
ACSM: American Collage of Sport Medicine
NSCA: National Strength and Conditioning Association.
Secondly, the industry has moved forward to improve the education, training
and certification of fitness professionals, primarily personal trainers.
IHRSA: International Health, Racquet & Sports club Association
ACE: American Council on Exercise
AFAA: Aerobic and Fitness Association of America.
Licensure is a state mandated and approved process by which certain
professionals who become licensed are authorized to provide defined services
to others.

through their understanding of these laws, as well as their delivery of service
