How can a personal trainer in Fort Lauderdale ensure relative safety during training sessions?
Florida – November 11, 2020
The National Federation of Professional Trainers defines a personal fitness trainer as “a fitness professional possessing the knowledge, skills and abilities for safe and effective exercise and fitness program design, instruction and assistance for the purpose of reaching personal health and fitness goals.”
Accidents are random events that happen even when a person is attempting to do something for the betterment of their health. When personal training results in short term discomfort, or long term physical injury damage, a personal trainer may be able to reverse the harms through changes in routines Recent litigation surrounding personal trainers’ liability for injuries occurring during the course of training workouts, or related programs require a certain standard of care to the client. Generally speaking, personal trainers do owe a duty of care to clients by taking reasonable precautions for their safety, reducing chances for harmful outcomes to clients.
Written policy, standards of care.
The personal training facilities make every effort to:

- Outline all variations of exercises that are relevant to each level of fitness.
- Develop and share the correlating protocols outlined in written materials supplied to our clients.
- Require certain waivers be executed to ensure that clients have read and understand the risks of personal training for endurance, weight loss, strength training, and health and wellness.
Injury assessment.
After an accident during personal training in Fort Lauderdale, a personal trainer can assess the origins of the harm and recommend continuation of a program, discontinuation, or switching to a new program to heal the injury, or recommending medical care and a re-visit to training after a medical professional has cleared a client to restart an exercise, rehabilitation, or strengthening program.
