As a fitness professional in Colorado, managing risks such as client injuries and improper exercise prescriptions is critical. A Power of Attorney ensures that if you are incapacitated or unavailable, a trusted agent can manage your training facility, oversee ACSM-aligned safety protocols, and handle contractual obligations under the Colorado Consumer Protection Act. This document is essential for maintaining your fitness brand's integrity, ensuring that periodization plans continue, liability waivers are properly executed, and your business remains compliant with state-specific pay transparency and non-compete statutes.
Beyond the standard power of attorney sections, this template adds fields specific to Personal Trainer:
A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that enables one person (the principal) to designate another person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) to make decisions and act on their behalf in specified or all matters. The document serves as a legal empowerment that allows the agent to manage affairs such as financial transactions, health care decisions, and legal proceedings, thereby ensuring the principal's affairs can be managed even if they are incapacitated or unavailable to oversee them directly.
Client injury during training sessions
Use of liability waivers and clear communication of safety protocols in client agreements
Improper exercise prescriptions leading to injury
Providing detailed assessment and program design agreements that document the exercise prescription process
When designating an agent to manage your fitness business, they must understand that Colorado strictly prohibits non-compete agreements except for trade secret protection or specific management roles. Your agent must ensure any new sub-contractor or trainer agreements they sign on your behalf do not contain unenforceable restrictive covenants that could lead to legal liability.
Yes, if explicitly granted 'Commercial Operations' or 'Legal Affairs' power, your agent can execute liability signage and client intake forms. This ensures that every client continues to receive proper assessments and signs enforceable waivers to mitigate injury liability while you are unavailable.
Pursuant to Colorado statutes, a Power of Attorney must be signed by the principal and is typically notarized to ensure it is effective and legally recognized by banks and the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies. Witnessing is a best practice to prevent fraud and ensure document enforceability.
If granted financial powers, your agent can manage trainer compensation. They must strictly adhere to C.R.S. § 8-5-201, ensuring that all job postings for your gym include salary ranges and benefit disclosures to maintain state compliance.
