AFS, PTonthNet/PTA Global Renew Collaboration Agreement
(OAKLAND, CA, DENVER, CO, June 21, 2018) – The Association of Fitness Studios (AFS) and PTontheNet/PTA Global announced today that they have renewed their comprehensive collaboration agreement to provide relevant educational opportunities to each other’s audiences. 
PTontheNet is internationally recognized as a comprehensive resource for fitness professional education and development, providing continuing education, products, 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.
“Our experience with PTontheNet over the past year has been outstanding,” said Josh Leve, AFS founder and CEO. “We continue to move forward on parallel paths and enjoy working together to help fitness studio owners and aspiring owners be more successful.”
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, and the most comprehensive training solution for studio owners.
There is also an option to include dotFIT, a holistic, evidence based, nutrition program, including an integrated PRACTITIONER product supplement line not available in stores.
“There’s no doubt that great synergy exists between AFS and our organizations,” said Dr. Kevin Steele, President of PTontheNet/PTA Global. “We see AFS as a significant ally in bringing value to the market.”
The collaboration provides a 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.
