Certified as a personal trainer the minute he turned 18, Jon Goodman hasn’t looked back.  After obtaining CanFit-Pro’s PTS designation,  he started working as a weight room manager and personal trainer at the University of Western Ontario’s Sports and Recreation complex.  Spending 30+ hours/week in the gym while completing an honors degree in Kinesiology for 3 years gave him a head start in this difficult industry.  By the time he was 23, he was managing a high quality group of 10 trainers.

For Jon, personal training is truly a journey.  He holds CSCS  and is a registered Kinesiologist.  On the road to founding The Personal Trainer Development Center,  Jon has acquired experience as a weight room manager, personal trainer, senior personal trainer, and workshop organizer. He regularly speaks about everything from the trainer’s scope in nutrition monitoring to the advantages of focusing on niche markets.

Over his time in the industry he’s noticed that while an abundance of information on exercise selection, physiology, and biomechanics exists, there’s a lack of information for trainers who are new to the game and want to establish a career personal training.  After being asked for the umpteenth time whether any resources to help ease a trainer’s transition from part-time job to career exist, he decided to fill the gap with this site.

The Personal Trainer Development Center (PTDC) is a dream come true for Jon.  He looks forward to providing top notch information for personal trainers in addition to developing the best collection of coaches around.  At the ripe old age of 26, Jon is about to add another line to his resume: published author.
