Trainer Azra was very knowledgeable. She's like a textbook in the flesh. Although firm, she's warm and does a good job emphasizing the details and differences. Her attention to detail for each individual was excellent.

The administration was good too. From booking and payment to accommodating for my booking situation. Professional.

Just a note though, babies cannot accompany their parents to the training sessions.
