COACH REVIEWS
What experienced coaches say after the courses.
Verified reviews from coaches who completed KILO courses.
★★★★★
The foundational courses really filled in a lot of gaps in my programming knowledge. Even with 27+ years as a fitness coach, program design and periodization were things that no other course had laid out for me in such a clear, thoughtful, and systematic way. I feel way more confident in setting up short- and long-term programs that will make my clients stronger in all areas of their lives. I highly recommend these courses, and I intend to continue with KILO's other programs and resources.
★★★★★
Best assessment course I have done. Most of the assessments out there are very theoretical and have very little application to actual training. This, however, is all practical and very easy to apply to clients. All the progressions and regressions are very well structured. Finally a screening that makes sense. One of my favorite online courses I have done.
★★★★★
Absolutely loved this system of program design. The presentation was extraordinary. The course was very easy to use, navigate, and operate which made the learning and retention process enjoyable. Best of all, the material present was so organized, structured, and smart, that even as a trainer of 28 years, I learned some of the most valuable concepts that I can apply to my existing training methods as well as valuable substance to add to my tool box.
