“Psych Skills for Fitness Pros” with Dr. Lisa Lewis
What bogs or stresses most trainers/coaches out isn’t the art of program design, assessment, or breaking down exercise technique. Rather, it’s dealing with and working around our client’s “stuff.”
This pre-seminar, Friday July 19th from 12:30pm-3:30pm, with Dr. Lisa Lewis will cover:
