What learners say when the feedback form is real.
Every cohort completes the post-course evaluation before results are released. These are real responses, published with names as submitted.
I have a better understanding on how to work on the muscles rather than blindly following a workout program without knowing which muscles I'm working on.
The trainers demonstrated the correct techniques for the exercises, which helped me get a better understanding through actual practice. The content covered was also relatively comprehensive.
Mr. Jake and Mr. Brian is such a kind and helpful personality. The whole batch might miss their classes.
All trainers are helpful and has the best interest of the participant. I enjoyed the community and learnt new information.
The detailed explanation using the scientific name of the body anatomy is also very helpful in building up my knowledge about physical training from a bottom-up perspective.
The camaraderie and friendliness of the instructors - easy to approach and ask questions. Enjoyed it tremendously.
