(ACE Code of Ethics)
Here in Jacksonville there are many gyms and personal trainers. Various gyms employ their own trainers or they have independent trainers who come in to help their members get in shape. If the gym employs the personal trainer, it will usually require a certain number of hours per work to be worked but will also cover the trainer’s insurance. Whereas an independent trainer can usually come and go as he or she pleases in the gym but has to cover his or her own insurance. For an independent personal trainer, being covered at $1 million is a standard insurance liability amount.
