Why PTonthenet for Medical Exercise & Personal Trainers Continuing Education

PTonthenet is an online education portal for health and fitness industry professionals worldwide. Since it merged with PTA Global, the two are a powerhouse of education, business tools, and convenience for a busy personal trainer or business owner who regularly onboard staff members. 

Kevin Steele, PhD President of PTAglobal/Ptonthenet is my guest on this episode. I talked with Kevin about his career and the mission of both companies. We dive into specifically special populations and medical exercise growth. His unique perspective and ability to look at the need and the demand for education in specific areas provides clues to the growing needs for the aging population. 

We answer not only questions about Ptonthenet and PTA Global, we covered these questions in this episode: 

• What have you noticed since PTonthenet was "born" in terms of popularity in special populations
• How has the demand for special population Ptonthenet content changed over time 
• What specific areas of special population content are growing more rapidly
• Is there a demand in one area that stands out
• How you can access ptonthenet for continuing education and business support
• How business owners can employ ptonthenet tools for a team of trainers or other staff members
• How you can contribute to PTonthenet (as an author)

We also discussed the new relationship between PTonthenet and the Medical Fitness Network. (Founder Lisa Dougherty will be an upcoming podcast series right here). 

The MedFit Education Foundation is working with PTA Global/PT on the Net to launch 12 medical fitness courses that include a donation to the foundation & a one-year membership to the MedFit Network registryfor course participants so the public can locate professionals like you who are qualified and ready to help them.
