"Great course! I wanted to get more practical knowledge of personal training, such as cueing for proper form, which muscles are being used for certain exercises, and order for the process of getting a client started in a personal training program. This is also a fantastic review for personal trainers, whether they do group or one on one sessions. I think this course does a great job of summarizing the important and basic aspects of personal training. I plan to keep a copy of the text for future reference as review."
