GBIDEA provides great conferences and … IDEA provides great conferences and tools for trainers. However, I feel the organization is just beginning to embrace the importance of inclusiveness and body positivity. The cover article in the February 2018 issue of Fitness Journal is a call for change, which shows that good intentions are there; but the representative artwork and imagery focus on white women in a higher weight range. Body image is an issue for people of all sizes, not just those of higher weight. Food is demonized in the image of an articulated mannequin with a glazed donut around its middle, the message being that body size is a reflection of what is eaten, which we know to be untrue. Clearly, the editors have a long way to go toward understanding the deeper meaning and implications of body image and body positivity, for trainers and clients alike.

GBGreat online educational platform Great online educational platform, but live events have become little more than live infomercials.

GBI registered for the early pricing last… I regustered for the early pricing last May,2022 and i needed to cancel it due to important stuff at work. I have inform then and told me that the refund will be process 5-10 days. Its been 15 days passed and still did not able to hear anything form them. I tried to call and call and call. A sore for my ears to wait for them to pick up the phone. My fingers is sore pressing the contact number. I also sent an email to follow up but no one reply. Will you please fix your customer service.

CADo Not Trust These People with Your Credit Card Their membership fee went from $60-something dollars to $290 CDN. I was not aware of this change. They said they had notified me through e-mail 2x (oh yeah, as if that's reliable . . . ). When I appealed to them twice, they would not give me back my money. They can keep the money, but they have lost a customer, and even though they charged me, I will not be using any of their forced membership benefits. I don't care for their magazine anymore either.
