Take a look at what some past participants had to say:
“And now I can do a push-up… Prior to group training I had never been able to do a “real” push-up, I had always completed “modified” or “girly” push-ups, now I can do 3 sets of 15! This program design also provided for individualized attention without the prohibitive cost of personal training.” – Alisa
“I regularly do cardiovascular workouts, along with playing competitive tennis. Strength training was not part of my routine, until I met Mike Bento. He showed me that proper stretching and muscle conditioning would improve my workouts and tennis game. I increased my flexibility and strengthened my muscles, some of which I had not been focusing on with my regular workouts. I really enjoyed these sessions, and I hope to continue in the fall.” – Liz
“Group training was exactly what I needed to get back on track taking care of myself physically. We had a very fun group. It helped to be accountable to each other to show up. There was no pressure to perform beyond our ability. Our trainer was very skilled and very supportive. The workouts involved just enough challenge. They were varied and interesting. What a great way to train! I recommend it enthusiastically!” – Thom
The next Group Training Program begins in February!
