I am currently a Cal contractor, and I needed to have license and bonding for my audio/video business to be legal. So, what does a personal trainer need to be legal and protected? What do I file with the state to be say a (personal fitness contractor) per se? and what kind of write offs can you utilize for taxes? and most importantly can you write off your own training say from other specialty trainers such as MMA, speed training, dietician help, supplements etc..

Thanx, Im a newbie here and any info would be helpfull (This is a great site)can anyone explain the poll stuff at the bottom?
