FITSquad Rocks!
Four weeks ago I launched a boot-camp class for beginners. After the first class I re-branded it FITSquad. Because let's get down to brass taxes - what you say to yourself matters and I don't know anyone who is aspiring to be a beginner. For many years, I've been hearing from people that they …
