What the petition asks

This Law will make sure that Fitness Instructors have knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology before teaching a Fitness or wellbeing class.
It will also help our battle against the obesity rate in the UK.
If not the risk will increase of participants getting injured and less will achieve results.
Poll i conducted on my Facebook Group Fitness Professionals Association.
Do you think you should have Pre-requisite qualifications like ETM or Level 2 to attend a Les Mills or Zumba initial training course?
