State Licensing of Personal Trainers
UPDATE - December 2008 New Post
December 08, 2008
Recently, the state of New Jersey proposed legislation to license personal trainers. The bill includes use of the National Board of Fitness Examiner's (NBFE) Personal Fitness Trainer examination. New Jersey is one of a growing number of states that is considering licensing for personal fitness trainers in the past couple of years. While the NBFE retains a neutral position on licensing, we applaud the fact that New Jersey and other states recognize the importance of utilizing a National Board examination rather than developing one of possibly 50 different state board exams.

State Licensing of Personal Trainers
August 20, 2008
Most recently, two states and the District of Columbia have proposed laws that would regulate the practice of personal training and require trainers to obtain a license. The states, Georgia and Maryland, originally proposed legislation to utilize the National Board of Fitness Examiners (NBFE) examination in their respective regulatory provisions. There are no active proposals now pending in these states. The proposal in D.C. is still be considered.
