Tyler did fantastic :) One recommendation on bench is to coach people how to find their unique grip width. If the standard width (and wrist angle) creates discomfort in wrist, elbows, and/or shoulders, there are adjustments and they can do. Pertaining to coaching, all good. Thanks for the great workouts!

Tom is an amazing coach. Even though it’s a group class, he’s very attentive to each individual’s needs and abilities. He’ll work with me directly multiple times during a class to help me improve my form, and adjust the workout to align with my capabilities. He’s also a great cheerleader, who calls out people by name to offer encouragement and congratulations. Tom’s a superstar coach, and he really does a great job making people feel good about what they accomplish each day, and also works hard to build a supportive community among all the participants. Couldn’t ask for more!
