Fitness facilities registered with the BFS will have a mission statement that includes its general direction and is supported by specific, clearly defined objectives. Its owner (s) and employee (s) will:

Uphold the quality standards and guidelines of the BFS and not voluntarily associate professionally with anyone who violates the standards and ethics as outlined by the BFS..

Remain objective in thought by having an active mind, not an opened or closed mind, thereby refusing to accept on the basis of blind faith and denying sterile knowledge based on false beliefs.

Remain uncoerced by reviewing and weighing any evidence and proof in order to establish factual conclusions in any business dealings and promotion of fitness.

Reason and not rationalize all actions.

Be fully accountable in regard to any exercise and nutrition prescription recommended, to discover and know 'why' behind every recommendation made whenever possible.

Be responsible for all actions, thus placing the onus upon the owners and employees for both successes and failures and learning from those failures in order to enhance knowledge among the facility's employees and as a healthcare service provider within the industry.

Optimize clients' programs relative to their goals, needs, and abilities while doing so in a safe manner and in a safe environment; We will refrain from standardized, generalized, and 'canned' programs to avoid the 'easy way out.'

Continue employee my education through reliable sources of information that will enhance knowledge and the ability to reason.

Follow the BFS Code of Ethics and established standards.
