What Virtual Course Graduates Say

Nicholas Ahkine
Personal Trainer
DTS Level 1 has transformed not only my approach to training, but my approach to life in general.

Alana McCready
Personal Trainer
I took the live version of this course 10 years ago, but wanted to take a refresher and go back to the foundations.
I preferred the virtual version! The video submissions forced me to practice and I loved the personal feedback. I also like that I can continue to go through the modules.
This course should be mandatory for all trainers.

Erin Tusa-Thatcher
Personal Health & Fitness Coach
DTS Level 1 transformed my confidence as a trainer. It really helped me build an understanding of different bodies and how to write a program according to what they need.
We've spent over a decade developing systems that are easy for trainers to use and WORK.
It is not knowledge that is powerful. It is the application of knowledge that is powerful.
