what past course participants had to say...

★★★★★

The welcoming atmosphere and coaches that make you feel comfortable and welcome regardless of your skill level

★★★★★

Everyone got individual attention, and they were able to share their information in a clear and understandable way (even when under a heavy barbell or while upside down).

In two days I learned more about gymnastics and weightlifting than I have in 4 years doing CrossFit.Loved the technique focus.

★★★★★

The combination of demonstrations, and the explanation of the "why." There were some items presented that were counter to other trainings I attended, but the information shared provided a good background as to why you were teaching a certain way.

Specifically enjoyed the conversations about training beyond the "standard."
