DESCRIPTION:

In today’s show, we have another episode of the very originally named “fitness industry conversations with Alex Pearson”. I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and feel we hit on some topics that will help a lot of people out. Namely, we talked about why personal training needs a proper definition and how to avoid burnout.
