Cowboys don't last in the modern fitness industry [news]

Fitness Australia, the health and fitness industry association, has responded to recent media articles questioning the standard of personal trainers in the fitness industry. The association has also highlighted changes it has made to help consumers more clearly identify qualified registered personal trainers making it even harder for the cowboys to stick around.

The fitness industry association self-regulates the industry but doesn't control who is approved to deliver the Fitness Training Package and the way in which they deliver the qualification as this is in the hands of
government agencies.

As Chief Executive Lauretta Stace states "Fitness Australia has recognised the increase in demand for fitness services and has adjusted its professional registration system to help consumers and employers more clearly identify who they want to use or employ".
