Verify Certified Exercise Professionals with USREPS

The Coalition for the Registration of Exercise Professionals (CREP) champions the interests of registered exercise professionals by addressing regulation, practice access, and scope of work. CREP actively monitors state and federal legislation impacting exercise professionals.

CREP collaborates with policymakers, educators, health and fitness advocacy organizations, and other health professions to enhance professionalism and opportunities for those promoting health, fitness, and performance through physical activity and exercise.
