Welcome to the next step forward in your successful fitness career.
Hi, I’m Jonathan Goodman,
founder of the Personal Trainer Development Center.
As a young trainer grinding away through long hours at the gym, I quickly realized I’d never build the life and career I wanted unless I found a better way to work. I read every fitness and business book I could get my hands on. But none of them had the information I needed. So I decided to create my own.
I started the PTDC in 2011 with the goal of bringing my fellow trainers the best guidance from the top experts. We’ve since grown into an internationally recognized leader in career guidance for fitness professionals. We have the world’s foremost certification for online trainers, more than 1,000 free articles, bestselling books, the Fitness Marketing Monthly newsletter, and free online support groups.
It’s all designed by trainers, for trainers, to help you do a better job and build a better business.
How can we help you today?
