Do 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.

Wishing that your conferences were … Wishing that your conferences were smaller, more often, more personable. Large isn’t always better. Ex:Pilates, yoga, personal training, nutrition etc.

IdeaFit scams instructors and has… IdeaFit scams instructors and has horrible customer service. In 2021 my boss at my gym asked me to register for the online virtual(and useless) convention. What I didn't realize at the time was that it was an Auto-renewal. Shame on me I know but that is how they get their money.Flash forward to this year and I received an email confirming my $199 "order". Not only wouldn't the customer service person refund me or let me speak to their supervisor as it is against their policy. She also wouldn't remove me from the auto-renewal subscription. I had to do it myself.

IDEA 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.
