There are no unions for this profession. Health club owners and managers, however, should belong to the International Facilities Management Association (IFMA) or join professional fitness organizations. The Small Business Administration is a federal agency that provides seminars, loans, and other helpful resources to aspiring and current business owners. The IFMA, the National Retail Federation Foundation, National Federation of Professional Trainers, and the American Council on Exercise provide certification credentials.
