Hipaa is (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 ) and deals with security and privacy of information along with transferability of health insurance. It sets some rules for health plans to follow. It is a pretty heavy duty act and quite tough to understand too.
The main thing for you to remember is about security and privacy of patient data. Not sure if personal trainers are covered entities though. I would have to look that up. Since you dont deal with health plans...
