Seminario de Fitness da Perform Better Summit em Rhode Island 2013




A formação da PB em Rhode Island- Usa, foi uma grande valia em todos os aspectos.
Estiveram cerca +/- 1 000 pessoas que estão na área de fitness (personal trainers, fisioterapeutas, preparadores fisicos).

O nivel de conhecimento que ganhei por ter estado junto com os melhores especialistas de fitness de EUA, exemplo: Gray Cook, Mike Boyle, Mark Verstegen, Todd Durkin, e outros mais, levou me a um novo nivel.

Senti me como uma criança que teve a sua primeira bicicleta!
Aconselho a todos Treinadores a fazerem pelo menos uma formação por ano. Educação é a melhor riqueza que podemos nos dar. 

PS: Torna te Melhor naquilo que fazes. Quando isso acontecer, então todas as pessoas que estarão a tua volta também se tornaram melhor!


Paulo,
