I guessing you may have signed a "not compete-non-disclousure" agreement when you were hired by 24. The agreement may state that you are not allowed to work for a company of similar service within a 2-5 mile radius (may be different for every establishment). Those agreements are usually good for 1 year. If you didn't sign such an agreement (and they are supposed to give you a choice), then you are golden.

That was the "policatially correct" part of my repsonse. Now, the truth. I have trained many a client, even I after I left the gym I met them in. If you keep it on the down low and don't brag/promote/or boast it, chances are you'll be fine.It would cost teh club too much money to pursue you legally, and not really worth it to them. They will simply replace your client with 3 new members.
