What is the National Fitness Industry Code of Practice?

If you're running a fitness business (such as a gym), then it is likely that the National Fitness Industry Code of Practice applies to you.

The Code is designed to guide businesses on how they can meet their legal obligations, such as minimising the risk of harm when customers use gym equipment and protecting the privacy of individuals when collecting and storing their personal information.

The Code also sets out the requirements of what your business contracts should include. As such, it's wise to consult a lawyer so that your documents and internal processes are compliant with the relevant laws.
