New Jersey Strikes Mention of Pilates from Licensure Bill

[EDITOR’S NOTE: This article has been edited from its original version.]
In January, we reported on a bill under review by the New Jersey legislature, which would establish a State Board of Fitness Professionals and charge them with issuing licenses to fitness professionals, including Pilates instructors.
An update on this issue just came in from the Pilates Method Alliance. They have confirmed that the lawmakers have removed mentions of Pilates from the bill.

New Jersey Bill Proposes Licensure for Pilates Instructors
The New Jersey legislature is currently reviewing a bill known as the “Fitness Professionals Licensing Act,” which would establish a State Board of Fitness Professionals and charge them with issuing licenses to “exercise facilities,” “fitness professionals,” “group fitness instructors” and “personal trainers.” This bill is creating buzz in several fitness communities because it includes personal trainers, martial arts, Pilates, yoga, kickboxing, boot camp, spinning and any other group fitness instructors in its language—basically anyone who instructs “in exercises designed to improve cardiovascular conditioning, muscular strength, flexibility and weight loss.”
