Reviews
Don't take this course unless you want to read through an 80+ page guide without any videos. Worst part was you couldn't even download or print the article, so you just had to stare and read from your computer. Had I known this prior to purchasing I would not have bought this course!!
Great summary of main points; however, a bit too detailed for group fitness instructors in some areas. Overall , still practical and very valuable to group strength class leaders.
