Do you know what certification your trainer has? Did you know that there are actually no legal regulations on who can call themselves a personal trainer or sell services as a fitness coach? In this episode of Beyond The Squat we explore what certification currently looks like in the fitness industry, what we can do to protect consumers and fit pros, some of the potential un-intended consequences of regulation. We also discuss the P.H.I.T Act that is currently being proposed in Congress and what it might do to improve the health of the nation.
