Closed Create a regulatory body and framework for personal trainers

Closed on

Create a regulatory authority that regulates the advice on nutrition and training that personal trainers give to their clients to protect people from eating disorders.

Personal trainers are not qualified to give diet advice and are causing people to develop eating disorders. Dieticians working for the NHS are fighting a battle to correct and help people who have developed disorders as a result of abuse from trainers. There needs to be higher qualifications that require years of study rather than a 5 day course on nutrition which then allows PTs to tell their clients what to eat causing health issues and potentially cardiac arrest, liver damage and deficiencies
