Course Participant
"As an operator and consultant to the health club industry for more than 30 years, I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with some of the most talented and knowledgeable leaders, managers and consultants in our business. Brenda Abdilla has consistently distinguished herself in the critical areas of membership sales training, marketing and customer service as well as in human resource acquisition and employee coaching. Unfortunately, our industry is in short supply of people with Benda's expertise. Your organization will undoubtedly get your money's worth by hiring Brenda to address any of these needs."
Herb Lipsman

Brenda excels in giving you practical and theoretical tools for effective managing. After a few weeks, Brenda's training program will have you looking inward as to who you are... as a professional... and as a person. Brenda's coaching has lead to me feeling more confident as a manager, leader, and person."
