trainers to have CPR training, a National Commission for
Certifying Agencies (NCCA-recognized certification in personal
training or group exercise (ACE, ACSM, NASM to list a few) and
insurance. Since group exercise classes are contracted to
individuals, the burden of meeting these requirements is on the
instructor. These requirements are for both the safety of the
students and the protection of the instructor. Over the last
year, we have not issued any group exercise, martial arts or
personal training contracts to individuals without these required
credentials. All legacy instructors were given ample notice to
obtain certifications and insurance well before their contracts
were up for renewal. If you have any further questions, please
contact 241-4486.
