We are developing so many new fitness career resources for you as part of your IDEA membership that we wanted to kick off 2023 by giving you a glimpse into three events that may interest you in the near term.
IDEA® Personal Trainer Institute
You’ve likely seen news about our first in-person event for 2023. It’s just under two months away (March 9-12) in Alexandria, Virginia, but there’s no time like the present to register for PTI and plan your learning for this dynamic weekend.
Our events team has pulled out all the stops to program research-based sessions from the best presenters in our industry, and they’re building in plenty of fun networking opportunities for you to connect with like-minded pros and educators. Explore more than 75 workshops, lectures and workouts led by top educators who are eager to share their technical knowledge and business tips. Whether you’re looking to develop sticky social media strategies, enhance your program design capabilities or develop deeper client connections, you’ll find the resources you need to bust through challenges and tap into your success potential. Take a closer look at just three of the dozens of sessions you can choose from over a weekend approved for 21 CECs/CEUs.

for Coaches Webinar
Next, I’m thrilled to tell you about our first webinar of the year, which was somewhat groundbreaking for IDEA and the fitness industry in general. While IDEA has a rich history of covering nutrition, food and cooking, this was the first live cooking webinar we’ve ever presented. In case you missed the fun two days ago, as an IDEA member you can jump into the recorded webinar when it best fits your schedule. We also invite you to explore the brand new Monj®COOKSImage may be NSFW.

for Coaches course, which just went live in the IDEA Education store.
The course offers a deep dive into the Mediterranean Diet and the fundamental culinary vocabulary and skills needed to modify lifestyle behaviors related to food. You’ll learn culinary skills from professional chefs including Chef Eliza Martin, a James Beard award winner and the Food Network’s Chopped champion, who will show you how to make healthy food taste great. It’s also approved for CECs by ACE, NASM, AFAA and NBHWC.
IDEA Inspire Forward: 2023 State of the Association Webinar
Finally, I’d like to point your attention to an important upcoming webinar led by IDEA’s CEO Amy Boone Thompson. Amy will recap IDEA’s top milestones of 2022, but mostly will focus on our plans to make 2023 an even better year full of new career resources for IDEA Members. The webinar is scheduled for January 23; watch for the link we will be forwarding to you next week.
Lots going on here. What’s happening with you? I’d love to hear how your plans for the year are shaping up and what type of content might help you get there. Please drop me and the content team a line so we can get you what you need.
