Get Unlimited CECs + More With IDEAfit+
In case you haven’t heard, I’m calling attention to an opportunity I don’t want you to miss: Our new IDEAfit+ Membership!
This value-packed member opportunity lets you continue to enjoy access to Fitness Journal and all of our specialty digital publications—plus our credible, practical resources; client tools; and multiple resources for connecting with like-minded pros. And the unlimited CECs alone make it a smart investment.
“We can’t think of a better way to unite and strengthen our industry,” says IDEA’s general manager and vice president, Amy Thompson. “We feel it is imperative that we support our members in this challenging time by providing the tools, support and community they need to thrive.”
Aside from the value in this membership package, why should you renew? Think of IDEAfit+ as your essential career mastermind partner. Our surveys for job satisfaction and compensation have shown that IDEA Members earn more money and stay in fitness careers longer than the industry average. With the fitness landscape dramatically and forever changed by the pandemic, IDEA’s mandate—to develop the most relevant continuing education and business tools to advance the careers of all fitness pros—is fully primed to answer these challenges. Call our Inspired Service team to renew today: 800-999-4332, ext. 7.
