ISSA Offers Free Personal Trainer Websites to Members
CARPINTERIA, Calif., Feb. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) has partnered with Fitness Pro Sites in order to give each of their members a free website to support their fitness business. As a fitness organization accredited to provide fitness education through distance learning, ISSA is well aware of how crucial it is for fitness professionals to have an online presence in today's world.
One of the primary uses of the Internet, besides information and communication, is shopping for services and products. "In order to be successful in this day and age," says Dr. Sal Arria, ISSA CEO/Co-founder, "a website is practically a must for any business. There are people who need a fitness professional's help, and they are going online to locate one. If you don't have a website, how are they going to find you?" However, not everyone is tech-savvy enough to design their own website, and many people starting their own personal training business don't have the resources to hire a designer to create and maintain their site.
Based on member inquiries and requests, and knowing the importance of a website for marketing, boosting credibility, and disseminating fitness information, ISSA is proud to announce that complimentary, easy-to-setup, professionally designed websites are now available to its active members. Additional services such as custom domain name, social networking support, and search engine listings can be obtained by upgrading to an affordably priced "basic" or "marketing" package if the member wishes.
The websites will reflect whether an ISSA member is currently a student or a certified fitness trainer, and which ISSA certification(s) they hold. If a trainer lets their certification lapse, their website will become inactive. In this way, the public can also be assured that the trainer holds a nationally recognized personal training certification and is completing the continuing education expected of a professional.
