Phil says, "As health & fitness professionals, we have a social responsibility to educate the 86% of adults who do not exercise on a regular basis. We must educate a largely sedentary population and help them see WHY they should get off the couch and EXERCISE! We must educate uninformed parents about the seriousness of childhood obesity. Likewise, we have an obligation to serve the health & fitness needs of the fastest growing segment of the population … the aging baby-boomer population … who, with a personal trainer's guidance, can age gracefully and enjoy an overall better quality of life."
