In today's episode we discuss our view on interaction between coaches, members, and the programming at Craic. Our intention is for coaches to be an open resource. Every workout can be tailored to meet your physical abilities, accommodate your specific training goals, or push you to a competitive level. This is the relationship that the Craic coaches strive for with each of our members. We also urge listeners outside of our gym to reach out to their coaches about this topic and get the help they may need!
