We listened closely to IDEA members and to fitness professionals at large in order to take stock of reality, assess options, craft a plan and blaze a path forward. Last year, our team found resilience in building a new membership structure and creating customized support tools to address your pain points and challenges. After all, supporting you is our mission, our mandate and our joy. The result is our new IDEAfit+ Membership, a value-packed bundle of content, services and support tools that cannot be matched elsewhere. Where else can you get an all-access pass to IDEA's award-winning Fitness Journal content–plus all of our specialty newsletters; unlimited free CECs accredited by 25 certifying agencies; an open door to IDEA's 600+ filmed courses; access to FitPost social media services, with ready-made posts to keep your client engagement high; IDEA's customizable Client Newsletter engagement tool; and more?

Today Sandy Webster catches up with the First Lady of Fitness Elaine LaLanne, who was married to the iconic Jack LaLanne, the Godfather of Modern Fitness. “LaLa,” as she is affectionately known to her fitness family, has joined the team at IDEA World Convention every year since 2011 to present the IDEA Jack LaLanne Award, a prestigious accolade that honors her late husband's impact and example on the fitness industry and on the world. At 95, LaLa is still as energetic and fiery as ever. She has a lot to say about the unrealized potential of our industry. Among many topics, they discuss the Gyms Act and the many “firsts” Jack innovated during his career (he was the first “virtual” trainer on television; he invented the Smith Machine and selectorized equipment; and he always put a premium focus on the impact of nutrition and exercise as complementary).
