Fitness services share similarities with physical therapy: they are sometimes governed by state laws outlining the scope of your responsibilities and they carry a risk of injury to the client.
Moreover, as more fitness services move out of studios and gyms and onto screens, the legal issues can become more complex. Thus, it can be helpful and reassuring to consult a healthcare attorney who understands the current landscape.
