In Georgia’s fitness industry, a handshake isn't enough to protect your facility from client injury claims or trainer poaching. This contract ensures your fitness business is shielded by defining at-will employment status under O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 and implementing enforceable restrictive covenants under O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50. It bridges ACSM safety standards with Georgia-specific liability protections, formalizing everything from exercise prescription protocols (progressive overload) to non-solicitation of your hard-earned client base.

Under O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq., non-compete clauses are enforceable in Georgia provided they are reasonable in duration, geographic area, and scope of prohibited activities. For personal trainers, these usually focus on protecting your gym's client base and trade secrets, like specialized training methodologies or proprietary periodization programs.
Georgia is an 'at-will' state, meaning either the gym owner or the trainer can terminate the employment relationship at any time, for any reason that isn't illegal. Our contract explicitly references O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 to ensure there is no implied long-term contract that could complicate a necessary termination.
