TECHNICAL TROUBLESHOOTING:

Are you using a tablet, iPhone or iPad? If you are, you won’t be able to see them as the training platform runs the animation on flash. Please use a desktop/laptop PC or Mac.

If you’re still not seeing them, then the problem is local to your machine – ie. you have something on your machine that is preventing them from displaying. Other things to try: Check your pop-up blocker on Chrome (top right of the url bar); close Chrome or clear the chache; close Chrome and turn off your machine, then restart it.

FACE-TO-FACE / INTENSIVE COURSES:

Do I need to bring anything specific to the course when I’m studying the theory part?

Bring a notepad, pens or a laptop – anything you feel comfortable using to make notes. Although you won’t be doing any exercising, for the most part, you may want to wear something comfortable and allows for movement in case you’re asked to do some movement as part of a demonstration with the tutor.

Please come in clothes you would normally wear to the gym and do bring a sweatshirt in case you get cold.

Yes, you will be teaching the exercises, but you will also be a ‘guinea pig’ for your colleagues when it’s their turn to teach.

Yes we provide you with the theory manual on the first day of the course.
