How Could It Affect You?

Thursday, May 28
4:00 pm at Club industry East
Moderator:
Pam Kufahl, Editor, Club Industry’s Fitness Business Pro
Panelists include:
Amy Bantham Deputy Vice President of Government Relations, IHRSA
Brian Biagioli Executive Director, National Council on Strength & Fitness
Art Curtis, CEO, Millennium Partners and Member, IHRSA Board of Directors

Bills are now being considered in the state legislatures of Massachusetts and
New Jersey that could change requirements for personal trainers — and for facility operators who hire them.
THE BILLS WOULD REQUIRE:
STATE LICENSURE • AN ANNUAL EXAM • 4-YEAR DEGREE

Join us for a vital discussion that will cover

• the legislative issues and impact
• educational ramifications,
• certification assessment,
• club operator’s perspective
• need for industry self-regulation




Whether you are a personal trainer, a club owner or a fitness professional serving in any capacity, you need to be there.
