Normally, this is where we might expound on the virtues of our education and credentials. But let’s be real – if you are reading this, you already place great value on your qualifications, but you are also a busy professional. So, how can IDEA’s catalog of education help YOU? We have answers.
Continuing Education Credit (CECs)
The importance of continual learning and staying abreast of recent health and fitness research can’t be emphasized enough. But as fit pros, we often spend so much of our time focusing on the day-to-day of programming, scheduling, motivating clients, reviewing results or wondering if we do indeed have time to sneak in a snack AND run to the restroom between clients. It’s easy to look up and realize your certification renewal is due NOW and you desperately need some CECs. Fortunately, you just happen to have an entire library of top-notch courses at your fingertips.
Myth Buster
Clients come to you all the time telling you about something they saw on TikTok or Instagram. Full disclosure – I’m not a social media girl. Call it age or whatever, but I’m just not into it. However, I’m well aware trends start, grow, reign and die on social. Want to find out the actual facts and research behind staying fit and healthy? You need to be empowered by a source of truth. Yep, same convenient solution – IDEA catalog of education. Research and learn, so you are ready to answer your client’s questions. You are the expert in the industry. Make sure you have the correct data to back up that status!
Ready to Level Up?
Making strides in your career, inspiring change, and impacting lives? Fantastic! Ready to take the next step? Now’s your moment to focus and specialize! Specializing your skill set allows you to simultaneously broaden your reach and focus your impact. There are SO many avenues you can take – older adults, women’s health, post-rehab, weight loss, sports-specific, disease management fitness. What speaks to you? Or do you notice a trend in the types of clients you work with? I realized I had become the “go-to” at my club for post-rehab. So, I took the next step, to formalize and deepen my knowledge to assist my clients in restoring their function, and accept referrals from other fit pros.
