Keep professional boundaries
Do not exploit any professional relationship with a client,
supervisor, employee or colleague- sexually or economically.
Always respect your client’s right to privacy. A client’s results,
conversations, behaviour, secrets and where possible, even
identity should be kept confidential.
Focus on the professional trainer-client relationship and not the
client’s personal life, except when appropriate (e.g. when client
is sharing his/her exercise or health history).
Avoid any unnecessary physical contact or sexually-based banter
with the client.
When you are unable to maintain a professional relationship
either because of your own limitations or that of the client,
kindly refer him/her to another better equipped personal trainer
or medical professional as appropriate.
