Why The Pocket PT works?

During the lock-down a few years ago, I was doing some zoom training with clients...all was going well until....
The internet would glitch and as I was staring into a blank screen thinking, it couldn't get any worse... when it did.  I lost audio from my client...however, they could still hear me.
During the next session with the same client (again on zoom) they mentioned that what was intriguing, was that I had been correcting their form and adjusting their body without even seeing or hearing them.  They commented that it must be because I've been doing it for so long, perhaps I could do it blind-folded.
Fast forward and The Front Door Challenge was created. Gathering lots of feedback from members of my gym and pt clients (since 1998) we have developed a fun filled enter.trainment challenge that not only entertains the listener, but also personally trains. It quite literally is (in the words of one of our first Front Door Champions) "just like having a personal trainer in your pocket...only better"
