What Have Teachers Said?
Chris Taylor, Bev Facey High School
"We had Avi and his co-coaches come for an all-day event in my Sports Performance classes. It was amazing. Students were taught the essentials of the 3 big lifts – bench, squats, and deadlifts. Avi and his team were fantastic in how they handled the students and the students enjoyed interacting with them. The sessions were such a success that one week afterwards, all my students are using what they have learned. The squat racks and platforms have never been so busy! It is comforting for me to also know that the students were taught proper technique so that I can reduce my worries about injuries in the weight room. I would highly recommend to any school with a Fitness program to have Avi and his team out. We for sure will be doing this again in the future".

What have Students said?
"It was an incredible experience having powerlifters come to our Personal Fitness classroom to teach us about technique, healthy living, and the overall sport of powerlifting. It provided us students with a really unique opportunity, whether we're athletes or simply interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle, to implement proper technique into our workouts for increased safety and results. It was specifically encouraging having such highly qualified men and women come and speak to the effectiveness of powerlifting not only men, but for women as well. Having the opportunity to learn from such professionals was truly inspiring."
