Fitness
Trainer Mission Statement
Fitness
practitioners registered with the BFS will have a mission statement that
includes his or her general direction and is supported by specific,
clearly defined objectives:
-
I will continue to
uphold the quality standards and guidelines of the BFS, and I will not
voluntarily associate professionally with anyone who violates the
standards and ethics as outlined by the BFS.
-
I will remain
objective in my thoughts 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.
-
I will remain an
independent thinker by reviewing and weighing any evidence and proof,
and establish my own conclusions.
I will reason and not rationalize my actions.
-
I will be fully
accountable in regard to any exercise and nutrition prescription, to
discover and know 'why' behind every recommendation I make and to the
best of my ability.
-
I will be
responsible for my actions, placing the onus upon myself for both
successes and failures and learning from those failures in order to
enhance my knowledge as an elite fitness practitioner and healthcare
provider within the industry.
-
I will optimize my
clients' programs relative to their goals, needs, and abilities while
doing so in a safe manner and in a safe environment; I will refrain from
standardized, generalized, and 'canned' programs to avoid the 'easy way
out.'
-
I will continue my
education through reliable sources of information that will enhance my
knowledge and ability to reason.
-
I will follow the
BFS Code of Ethics.
