In this episode, the MedFit Podcast welcomes Amy Boone Thompson, the vice president and general manager of IDEA Health & Fitness. Amy, a former standout Division I collegiate basketball and volleyball athlete, discusses the importance of knowing how to advocate for yourself to gain the opportunities and exposure needed to “make an impact.”

From personal trainer, to manager, to regional manager, to the VP and GM of IDEA Health and Fitness, Amy knows the power of networking and hustle. Currently, Amy is busy planning a virtual IDEA World Conference, an interactive virtual expo and fitness experience to provide continued education and resources to fitness professionals around-the-world.
