GBInfo is not very useful Info is not very useful. I am not a trainer, I am an owner of several studios.

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.

GBDon't Do CECs Through Idea Health & fitness If you're in the fitness field, you are required to do CECs. Avoid IDEA Health & Fitness Association's CEC program. Good luck trying to contact the organization. It takes 4 weeks via email. You are sent automatically to voicemail when trying to cancel. DO NOT DO CECs through Idea Health & Fitness.
