History of the Fitness Industry

• The public has discovered that enhanced fitness leads to a healthier, longer and more enjoyable life.
• Corporations know that improved employee fitness translates into increased productivity.
• Governments realize that preventive health care is a cost effective solution and now promote active living.

During the early years of the fitness movement, there were few regulations regarding the qualifications of Fitness Professionals. Increasing consumer consciousness created a demand for qualified professionals. In response, national certification programs were developed for fitness appraisers and fitness leaders and government safety standards were implemented. Today these certification programs and safety standards have become essential qualifications for Fitness Professionals.

As a Fitness Professional Chaco's personal training programs are consistent with the national standards of safety, design, and implementation of health and fitness protocols.
