Many times we have suggested that you contact us or a qualified
trainer in your area. Today we will start a 3 part series on how to
pick a qualified trainer in your area!



Today, Margaret and Damian will be talking about the first step in
choosing a trainer, and that's to clarify what you want from a trainer.



Every trainer does it differently, so if you are clear on what you
want, then finding the right person to give it to you will be easy!
