PRESS RELEASE Of interest to editors and journalists covering: Health/Fitness, Exercise, Internet/DotCom, Clubs/Associations, Business News Escs Introduces A Fitness Trainer Ethics & Safety 'Seal Of Excellence' For Trainer Display & Public Recognition Of Safety & Professionalism The ESCS Initiative is the 'Better-Business-Bureau' of fitness training, allowing the public to view trainer requirements online and to report trainer misconduct LAFAYETTE, IN - Febuary 10, 2004 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- How can ESCS enforce trainer safety and conduct compliance? Incorporated directly into the publicly displayed "Ethics & Safety Compliance Standards" "Seal of Excellence," is www.escs.info. The general public, potential or current employers, prospective or existing clients, and all others considering this trainer, can easily log on at www.escs.info and check the "Compliant Trainer Database," as well as review the trainer's ESCS "Trainer Requirements" to determine compliance in a particular trainer/client relationship. Trainer misconduct can then be reported for Seal licensing abuse and suspension consideration. Upon receipt of a complaint, an "ESCS Suspension Committee" will be randomly appointed from the ESCS "Compliant Trainer Database." These peer trainers, possessing a variety of certification credentials, will make the final licensing suspension consideration. In addition, findings will be forwarded to the appropriate certifying agency for its consideration. Amazingly enough then, through ESCS efforts, those members of the public who need protection from trainer misconduct the most, can very easily and effectively protect themselves by conveniently reviewing trainer requirements and reporting trainer violations at www.escs.info as a direct result of the ESCS Seal display. "You are encouraged to ask your trainer why he/she does not have this endorsement," says Ron Clark, Review Board Chairman of ESCS, Inc. More information: http://www.escs.info MEDIA CONTACT: Ron J.
