Susan Meredith
Fit Academy perfectly prepared me to be an instructor! Week by week progression of leading classes and mentoring helped me gain confidence in my abilities. Having peers in the program also made me more comfortable and excited for training. There truly is support from all around and I highly recommend pursuing Fit Academy.
