  • Way More Helpful Than the $350/month fitness mastermind group I was in!

    Have been listing to podcast for several months and enrolled in MicroGyM University recently. Way more valuable than the $350 a month mastermind I was in. Our two personal training studios are benefiting greatly from Stu’s content.
