A note from Jonathan Goodman:
The PTDC offices are closed this week, giving our team a well-deserved break after the most productive, challenging, and unpredictable year in my company’s 10-year history.
We created two new programs this year: Online Trainer Academy Level 2 and Online Trainer Coaching.
We continue to grow and refine Online Trainer Academy Level 1, our flagship certification program, in response to rapid changes in the fitness industry.
In addition to all that, I’m deep in the weeds on an
even bigger project that I’ll announce in 2021.
That’s why it’s a good time to look back at the best content we produced and highlighted in 2020.
We wish you a peaceful and safe holiday season, and a healthy and prosperous 2021.

The Best of the PTDC 2020
We had a busy year at the PTDC, producing articles, essays, and two episodes a week of the Online Trainer Show podcast, in addition to Stronger Sundays and Best Fitness Content.
Here’s what
we consider our best work:
- Best article: “How Five Coaches Grew Their Online Business in Difficult Times,” a look at how online trainers in four countries found ways to thrive while much of the fitness industry struggled.
- Best commentary: “The Fitness Industry Is Broken – A Story About Hope,” an indictment of the fragility of our business and optimism for a more resilient future.
- Best podcast episode: “How to Handle Sexual Harassment with Online Training Clients,” an exposé of the daily indignities experienced by female coaches.
- Best social media post: “Nine Truths About Personal Trainers Every Client Should Know,” a reality check for those who have unrealistic impressions of who we are and what we do.
