The pandemic gave IDEA—like so many of you—a moment to pause, reassess and reinvent itself in what has become a renaissance of sorts for fitness professionals and our entire industry. The world as we knew it is forever changed—as are we, our businesses and clients.
IDEA chose to embrace the adversity and upheaval. We listened closely to IDEA members and to fitness professionals at large in order to take stock of reality, assess options, craft a plan and blaze a path forward. Our team found resilience—even comfort—in building a new membership structure and creating customized support tools to address your pain points and challenges. Supporting you is, after all, our mission and our mandate.
The result is our new IDEAfit+ Membership, a value-packed bundle of content, services and support tools that cannot be matched elsewhere. Just look at the chart on this page, “You Do the Math.” Where else can you get an all-access pass to IDEA’s award-winning Fitness Journal content (plus all of our niche newsletters); un–limited free CECs accredited by 25 certifying agencies; an open door to IDEA’s 800+ IDEAfit TV filmed courses; access to FitPost social media services, with ready-made posts to keep your client engagement high; IDEA’s customizable Client Newsletter; and more? The cherry on top of this already sweet bunch is that the first 15,000 people to become IDEAfit+ Members will receive a free ticket (a $399 value, with up to 21 CECs) to 2021 IDEA World Virtual, the most sought-after fitness education event in the industry!
