The second part of the course was the best (Training your Eye). The teaching was very well done and it helped to have two participants - one who showed proper position and one that showed the client compensating. The last section - Mat Flow did not match the content in the quiz.

If I were to use any of the tone she used in the classes I teach at 3 different gyms, I would be laughed out. Primarily using high level muscular names would also cause much confusion for many of my clients, who are often just starting their fitness journey and are not aware of what many muscles are called. Sometimes I am teaching them glutes/lats/pecs so going to sub-scapular would cause confusion and frustration. Additionally, all of this was centered around teaching pilates type classes. As someone who teaches bootcamps/HIIT/kettlebells, there was little useful in this course.
