I have gained a great deal of knowledge regarding ways to better care for your knees, the various types on injuries that can occur and ways to help prevent injuries in the future. I will make sure that my clients are aware of proper posture, form etc while performing the aerobic activities I teach. I will educate them about how to care for their knees especially while doing a class such as Step which can be VERY tough on your knees! Also I had knee surgery this year and can give personal knowledge about what I have learned to do and not do! I really enjoyed the materials this course provided. I felt that information was well organized and very helpful! Thanks!!

I have learned that the knee is a very complex joint. I have had experience with arthritis, ACL reconstruction and meniscus tear along with physical therapy so I found these sections particularly informative and helpful. The book really stressed the negative effects of overuse and overtraining and the resulting injuries. I would stress the negative impact of overtraining and the importance of taking rest periods. I would stress the importance of stretching and strengthening. I would review the ways to reduce the risk of knee pain. This class was extremely informative. It was very well arranged and user friendly.

The information is thorough, concise and presented in an easy to use compact paperback that I can easily transport and consult at any time. Now only will I apply what I’ve learned in this course to clients, but it’s invaluable information I will impart to my family and friends. In all of my dealings with GMP Fitness, owner Gina Piazza has displayed the most professional customer service; she goes that extra mile to be sure that our needs are met.
