2009 IDEA Personal Trainer Institute™: An Elevated Game
“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” This was the mantra during 3 days of intensive education at the sold-out 2009 IDEA Personal Trainer Institute in Alexandria, Virginia, February 19-22. Attendees brought with them positive attitudes and a heightened hunger for knowledge. Sour news about the economy didn’t dampen these personal trainers’ drive to Inspire the World to Fitness®.
A Powerful Take-Home Message
I was reflecting last night as I fell asleep that I was at cross-purposes of the very message I was supposed to be absorbing here. In my earnestness to do a good job and capture all I could for readers, I was missing the moment—or at least I wasn’t fully present for many of them.

Experience Community at the 2008 Inner IDEA® Conference
The first annual Inner IDEA gathering, held 2 years ago, embodied mindfulness from the opening ceremony to the close. This wellness conference included fitness opportunities and was more like a retreat than a convention. Where other industry events were primarily action oriented, the Inner IDEA Conference one emphasized inner wellness along with movement, encouraging participants to take a deeper look into themselves as they explored the cutting edge of mind-body-spirit health.

For the past few years there’s been a lot of conversation in the personal training industry about considering the “whole” client in program design. From the client’s feet to the top of his head physically; to what goes into his body for nutrition; to how his psyche is fed, nurtured and motivated—they all combine for a potent equation of holistic wellness.
