Q: Is it illegal in California to train my clients at a commercial gym (24 hour fitness) without them knowing?

A: In California, it's generally not illegal to train your clients at a commercial gym like 24 Hour Fitness as long as you have the appropriate permissions and follow the gym's rules and policies. However, each gym may have its own policies regarding personal training and bringing guests. If your membership allows you to bring in a guest and engage in training activities, then it may be permissible.

A: I doubt it violtates the criminal code to train your clients at a commercial gym (24 hour fitness) without the gym knowing. The gym can prohibit you from conducting business on its premises, especially if you are in direct competition with the services they provide if they employ or contract with personal trainers. This may open you up to a lawsuit. Being confronted during one of your sessions will undoubtedly be embarrassing.

A: It could raise objections from the facility if they also offer paid personal training. It could go beyond what they have in mind as guest privileges. Good luck

A: In California, it's not illegal per se to train someone at a commercial gym; however, many gyms, including 24 Hour Fitness, typically have policies in place that prohibit non-employees from conducting personal training. Violating these policies could lead to termination of your membership and potential legal action from the gym for breach of contract. Moreover, if you're receiving compensation without reporting it, you might be in violation of tax laws or local business ordinances.
