Scope of Practice- ACSM-CPT & RYT-200

What is my role as your coach and trainer?

As a certified personal trainer (ACSM-CPT) and registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), my role is to provide safe, effective, and personalized fitness and movement guidance based on your individual goals, needs, and physical abilities. I design and lead exercise programs, provide instruction on proper form, and support you in building sustainable habits related to physical activity.

I am also pursuing a certification in nutrition coaching through Precision Nutrition, and while I may share general nutrition education (such as helping you understand macronutrients, meal planning strategies, or behavior change techniques), I do not provide medical nutrition therapy or prescribe individualized diets. For any health conditions, food allergies, or complex dietary concerns, I will refer you to a registered dietitian or licensed healthcare provider.

Please feel free to contact me if you have questions about my scope of practice.

The official scope of practice for certified personal trainers as defined by the American College of Sports Medicine is:

The ACSM Certified Personal Trainer (CPT) works with apparently healthy individuals and those with health challenges who are able to exercise independently to enhance quality of life, improve health-related physical fitness, performance, manage health risk, and promote lasting health behavior change. The CPT conducts basic pre-participation health screening assessments, submaximal aerobic exercise tests, and muscular strength/endurance, flexibility, and body composition tests. The CPT facilitates motivation and adherence as well as develops and administers programs designed to enhance muscular strength/endurance, flexibility, cardiorespiratory fitness, body composition, and/or any of the motor skill related components of physical fitness (i.e., balance, coordination, power, agility, speed, and reaction time).
