Hello guys, as usual, it's me with questions again🙄
My church friend is an occupational therapist, and he's about to create a bike team/club under his clinic's name (Perth Integrated Health Clinic)
I was sent the description about how it will be run, which I pasted below.
The trainer would be Roger Knight if anyone knows/ ever heard his name. There is a list of his qualifications if you want to know.
My question is, what do you think about this program? Worth the money to gain experience? I do appreciate your responses if you have read the description below. Thank you friends!🙂🙂🙂
