Question asked by Nitie Mehta 440 days ago

Would like to hear from Group Fitness certification providers.

Legal IssuesCertifications

Can trainers teach live online or do they need special permission. I have recently started an online gym and as I am recruiting trainers the trainers are unsure if they are allowed to teach online. My guess would be teaching online is the same as teaching in a studio as both are not recorded.
I would really like to know from the certification providers.

Hi Nitie,

I don't believe you need a special certification which allows you to do online training. You can always contact any of the organizations that offer certifications and check with them. You also need to have in place a waiver and also you and your trainers should be covered by liability insurance. Also, I hope you have a protocol in place when hiring a trainer to make sure he/she is qualified to do any type of training.

Best,
Harris
