Quotes: 

“You're learning at a speed that you've never could have if he were just focusing on theory or certifications.” - Misbah

“More than a certification or anything else, like when you're having someone else to depend on you for their fitness, pressures on and you will perform at a higher level than if someone's just ready to use for a test or a project.” - Blake

“A worthy problem that we're trying to help new coaches with is getting to your first three to five clients because we know that that is the domino effect to solving a lot of different issues.” - Misbah

“I really want to help people who are really green, new, and trying to figure this whole thing out and show them that they can do this little by little and make it affordable, but it's also something that's really beneficial.” - Blake

We want to help you with knowing the science and the thoughts about how to get people results and do that remotely, which is a little bit different than in person, then we want to help you on the business side of it -  how do I approach this? How do I get to know people? How do I sell them on the phone? How do I get trust? How do I get buy-in? And then how do I problem-solve?” - Blake
