Personal training development Center

Hi, my name is Jonathan Goodman and I developed this site to cover everything that a personal trainer needs to know beyond exercise prescription.

We offer top tips and strategies for every element of the job from making more money, to daily tips for your fitness marketing online, to strategies for getting more personal training clients, earning passive income, and coaching strategies.

This site is not a solo effort. It’s the direct work of 30+ of the best trainers around the World and 1, 000’s of contributors working independent of any certifying body, supplement company, or anybody else. This commitment to independence has allowed us to focus on providing you with the best information devoid of any bias.

Personal training is an amazing job but it’s difficult. Up until now you were on your own and, even with management, proper guidance in what it really takes to be successful is few and far between.

Our focus is on your success. Take the next step now. Click “I’m down” to get our newsletter free in addition to our premium business building manuals.

thePTDC Back Story

While this site and community has grown to become the World’s biggest collaborative blog for trainers, I think that it’s important to look back and never forget why it started. thePTDC was formed off of the heels of my popular book.

As a trainer who hired, trained, and mentored other trainers I looked everywhere for resources to refer people to. I found tons of great exercise prescription advice but was frustrated at the lack of information that taught trainers how to actually be trainers.

The material that I did find was in training courses and in textbooks. Frankly, it was boring. So I wrote Ignite and set out to build a blog to make the information more fun.

I wanted to mesh it with comedy and anecdotes and be an enjoyable and educational read. ThePTDC prides itself on being as simple as possible, but not any simpler. The response to my idea blew me away. Support was almost immediate and the initial coaches came on board.
