I work teaching group fitness in the fitness clubs as a contractor. I got certified in certain type of fitness/dance class. Now I have several ideas and would like to create my own unique style in dance fitness and brand name and continue teaching under my own new name. I do not have any fitness/dance background. But I have a lot of experience and people just love my classes. I want to do something new and more interesting now. But I totally lost in all legal questions I have now in my mind. Just a little professional clue or a suggestion will be appreciated. How can I start to make people happier but under my own brand? If I will just open new business under my name and will start teaching new classes, how I can get a right to certify people to teach my style of dance/fitness classes. Thank you very much

Have you browsed through the information in LawInfo's Free Legal Resource Center to learn more about your issue yet? See: http://www.lawinfo.com/consumer.html. You can certainly try to speak to a lawyer to determine what legal options may be available. You may also want to discuss what your liability may be since you do not have a background in fitness or dance and your new class may possibly cause injuries. In the meantime, you may be able to learn more on your own. Search the "Free Legal Resources" tab, or browse the Consumer Resources. Good luck.
