Yeah I saw that one. Do you know the publisher? Year?
Thanx

the publisher's name is ed gaut. I'm not sure about the year thought, but I know it's prinited in the early to mid 90's. Some things have changed sinse then in the fitness industry, but you can still get a good idead about how the training business operates by reading this book. Anything from insurance to tax laws. But I don't agree with everything the publiher says in the book about how the business works. All trainers have a diffirent set of opinions, but you will agree for the most part.

A good book for personal trainers

"Facts And Fallacies Of Fitness" by Mel C. Siff, PhD, is a must for the personal trainers that care about the technical aspects of their work.

Best,

Being U.S books will they still be helpful to the personal trainer in the U.K? As in law differences etc?

there might be some law diffirences regarding taxes and business liscensing etc, but regarding the training business and how it works it's about the same as it is in the us or canada.
