Licensing Fitness Trainers in North Carolina?
ADVERTISEMENT
After 140 years of Democrats running State Goverment and leaving our State $3 Billion in debt, the Republican Party is now having to come up with ways to raise revenue and one of the ways is to License “Exercise Physiologist” or any one who prescrives “exercise” AKA “personal Trainers” and you must have a MASTERS degree, to practice. What do you think? Good or Bad Idea?
Good information. While there is no perfect answer for everyone, I do think that requiring a masters degree would be crippling to our industry affecting both clients and fitness professionals. I believe that that requirement would be good down the road but there needs to be a grandfather clause for those who currently practice.
