Georgia Licensure Committee Created

Georgia has officially created Senate Resolution 1077, the Senate Study Committee on the Licensure of Personal Fitness Trainers to investigate the industry and attempt to be the first state to impose licensing requirements on trainers.

If you are unfamiliar with this situation, please read my article on Georgia Personal Trainers in Jeopardy.

This is serious business now. If we do not stand up and speak out, allowing our voices to be heard, then our industry will be regulated without our input. Follow the link to the Georgia Personal Trainers in Jeopardy article, and use the contact information at the bottom of the page to voice your concerns to the Senators and Representatives involved.

Greetings all,

Recent action (1077) has been put down. Things are once again set asside for now. There is still a chance that future action may be introduced by Georgia legislators but I feel confident it will not pass given the enormous amount of attention brought to bare on the issue by key industry professionals, would-be affected groups, and industry policy makers.

Ron C.
