(OAKLAND, CA, DENVER, CO, January 23, 2017) – The Association of Fitness Studios (AFS) and PTontheNet/PTA Global announced today that they have reached a comprehensive collaboration agreement to provide relevant educational opportunities to each other’s members. 
PTontheNet is nationally recognized as a comprehensive resource for fitness professional education and development, providing continuing education, packages, and tools designed to drive performance and strengthen a fitness facility’s business.
PTA Global offers an NCCA accredited certification, expanded education, and advanced courses, enabling trainers to create an experience - not just a training session – and was specifically designed to decrease training staff attrition for studio operators.
“PTontheNet is the best of the best and we’re thrilled to be working closely with them,” said Josh Leve, AFS founder and CEO. “We share identical missions of helping fitness studio owners and aspiring owners be more successful. We see great synergy in the relationship and we’re excited to promote their products and services to our members.”
Under the umbrella of The Sport and Fitness Resource Center, PTontheNet and PTA Global collectively offer a fully accredited fitness Certification, the world’s largest online exercise & flexibility library, program design technology, unlimited education, online courses (including expert training in CPR/AED, sexual harassment prevention, customer service and sales), CECs from major certification bodies, andthe most comprehensive training solution for studio owners.
There is also an option to include dotFIT, a holistic, evidence based, online program, including an integrated PRACTITIONER product supplement line not available in stores.
“In some ways we’ve been traveling parallel paths with AFS,” said Kent Lehnhoff, CEO of PTontheNet, “and there may be some overlap in the products and services we both provide. But the value in working together far outweighs an occasional duplication of effort.”
The collaboration provides significant value-add for both parties with an emphasis on promoting and expanding awareness of PTontheNet’s dynamic Performance Suite – a comprehensive program to increase studio revenues by developing a motivated and highly educated team that provides every studio employee with tools and education to perform at their best.
