Once on-site, you will want to make sure you have your registration confirmation, session handouts, water (bring a bottle and refill it at the water stations), snacks, a sweatshirt (sometimes the rooms get a little cool, especially after some exercise), a yoga mat (for mind/body sessions), a notepad and a pen or pencil and business cards for networking.

316 People First, Training Second: Understanding the Human Behind the Client

Personal trainers spend lots of money on certification and continuing education. However, in our quest to offer the most comprehensive programs, we sometimes forget that we are training people with issues, beliefs and fears. We also tend to impose our goals on them. In this session, you’ll learn to get to the root of your client’s needs and develop plans that meet them where they are. You’ll also identify and discuss the issue of non-compliance and learn ways to listen, support and redirect clients to their ultimate goal and not ours.

How do I get CECs for the sessions I attend?

Your proof of attendance and CEC credits are on your CEC certificate, which you can access any time after the conference at www.ideafit.com/myeducation. Workouts do not qualify for CECs. They are designed to be just that, a workout. No CEC-able education is associated with them.

What is your policy on service animals?

If you require an Emotion Support Animal (ESA) please contact IDEA prior to arriving to the event. IDEA will require current documentation (not more than one year old) on letterhead from a licensed mental health professional stating (1) the attendee has a mental health-related disability listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM IV); (2) having the animal accompany the attendee is necessary to the attendee’s mental health or treatment; (3) the individual providing the assessment of the attendee is a licensed mental health professional and the attendee is under his/her professional care; and (4) the date and type of the mental health professional’s license and the state or other jurisdiction in which it was issued. This documentation may be required as a condition of permitting ESA’s to accompany attendees. Under the Americans With Disabilities Act, ESA’s are not given the same rights and exemptions as Service Animals and approval of ESA’s in public areas and businesses are at the discretion of those entities. If prior approval is not given by IDEA, attendees will be asked to remove the ESA from the event.

Event cancellations on or before February 8, 2023 will be refunded in full (less a $100 processing fee). Cancellations received after February 8, 2023 will be issued an open credit, in the full amount of your purchase that can be used toward a future IDEA event.
