Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
When I first stared the program with my first trainer. They didn’t show me the proper way to do everyone on the website so it was taking me a lot longer and I couldn’t get the info I needed. The second trainer I had was much better and he explained a lot to me and have me the time.
