working in the fitness industry does not automatically provide any level of authority on this topic.

I quote [b
It's facility insurance + We work with athlete agents that require us to carry extra coverage. Being that we work with agents it's a solid policy and they set the requirements.][/b]

They told you what insurance to have, because you didn't have enough coverage. Now the government will tell you, because you were irresponsible. Get it? ???

Not the entire policy you moron. They require certain policy amendments to protect their athlete.

Depends on how serious you take the industry as a whole. People that have made a career out of it, do the right things and have time out in gives them quite a bit of authority to speak on it. How many trainers do you suppose are on this site?

Ridiculous.

What are they gonna do, have a test to see if the trainer can count to ten?

No way they'd do THAT. How bad would it look to put 1000 trainers like coach out of work...c'mon  ::)

it's probably fair to assume they are generally well qualified. There's some specialized knowledge there for sure.

That's another topic though.

people are employed in fields for years with abominable records. the general public is highly confused because the fitness industry only wants to sell powders and bullshit quick fix gimmicks. It's great business but it gets annoying having the same conversation with people over and over trying to debunk all the bullshit. A bit of regulation is ok. 

who knows the most about olympic lifting? The russians and it's because it was a 100% government run program.

Of course there were. Funny how you people that think they know everything about training when in reality you don't know beyond what you've read in a magazine are so closed minded. You really think PT is just limited to commercial gyms. Your perception is narrow at best. lol
I have no idea why you assume I think Personal training is limited to commercial gyms, which probably indicates your narrow perception.  I get it, they are a diverse range of people who are not just training stay at home Mums.  I understand some, like yourself might train fighters and athletes and the like.  But I still find it an absurd industry, that I doubt has any proven efficacy from a scientific perspective.  I even imagine many PT's damage the clients potential to achieve their goals.  Look I just fucking hate the whole hand holding concept, it seems gay, emasculating and absurd. Plus I just want these silly fuckers to stop lingering around gyms with their fat useless unmotivated clients hogging multiple pieces of equipment and doing ridiculous ineffective exercises while saying stupid shit.  If given the option of training in peace as opposed to listening to some arrogant moron talk nonsense to his even greater moron of a client, guess what option I am going to go with.

well thing is here you have to be qualified and even then it´s about trust.. people like you or don´t as a trainer. People talk to you and show respect if you are a good trainer.

Yes, the Russians are quite obsessive about their Olympics.

You'd think the Russian Government could apply this expertise to other areas.

I can't remember the last time I saw anyone driving a Russian car. ;)
