Personal Traning Policies

SRC Policy Regarding Personal Training Personal training at the Student Recreation Complex (SRC) is restricted to only those individuals that have been specifically employed by the SRC for this purpose. Any participant observed or even assumed to be personal training with a patron in this facility that is not employed as an SRC personal trainer will have their SRC
privileges suspended or revoked. An individual may be suspected of personal training if he/she is (but is not limited to:)
Assisting a patron/s with:

1. spotting
2. equipment and adjustments
3. program writing & design
4. explaining and providing exercise technique
5. meeting with the same individual on a frequent basis
6. encouragement and counting sets and repetitions
7. getting and returning weights for a patron
8. following a patron around the room and telling them what to exercise next

Reasons Why Trainers Not Affiliated with the Student Recreation Complex Personal Training Program are prohibited from personal training.
In the State of Arizona no regulations exist regarding the profession of personal training. This lack of regulation causes many under-qualified or uneducated "trainers" to claim the title of "Personal Trainer". Due to liability issues and other reasons listed below, the Student Recreation Complex requires all trainers working within the building to maintain certification through a nationally recognized organization and meet specific academic requirements essential for quality personal training. The SRC upholds this strict criteria for trainers in an effort to ensure that the personal training program remains a quality service on the cutting edge of this field.

Personal training for our purposes is defined as one-on-one fitness instruction to another individual.

The following reasons justify why personal trainers not employed by the SRC are not allowed to train
within the SRC.

The SRC cannot adequately control the quality of personal training from individuals that are not employed by the SRC. These individuals may not have adequate academic background, ability, training or experience to correctly train clients. In addition, the SRC is very limited in its ability to regulate these individuals in order to prevent or correct potential erroneous information or technique passed on to clients.

• Individuals not employed by the SRC have not been trained by the SRC staff, policies, rules, guidelines, procedures, or standards and therefore, are unauthorized trainers.
• A legal liability arises for the SRC if we are aware of outside personal trainers working within the SRC.
• Profiting from the use of State property, i.e. SRC's equipment and facilities, without consent is illegal.
• The use of the SRC for outside personal training is in direct competition with the personal training service that the SRC offers.
• Failure to comply with our policies regarding personal training is in direct violation of conducts prohibited under articles 14 and 15 of the Dean of Student’s “Student Code of Conduct.” Such a violation may result in suspension or permanent SRC privileges in and submission of your name to the Dean of Students for possible further sanctions.
