I'm shortly going to finish my Level 3 PT course and highly likely get employed by my local anytime fitness straight after. I was hoping to curate a list of at least a few high quality forums that can help with personal training questions besides this one.
Does anyone have any recommendations?
Also any recommendations for learning more about it? I consume a fair bit of Mind Pump podcasts about this and am ramping it up as I near the end.
Reddit maybe. Those guys can be pricks some time but you’ll get the help you need there i guess
