WHERE PERSONAL TRAINING & GROUP FITNESS “FUSE” TOGETHER with Joella Hopkins (top)
Things have been done the same way in most health clubs across the world for years and years. In most clubs, it seems that the PT and Group Fitness departments usually operate on two totally separate ends of the spectrum – an “us” and “them” mentality.
