    Some of our viewers said:

    “The most important tool/piece of equipment in the gym is your body”-Chuck Leve,- IHRSA founding member.

    Balance balls are one of my favorite training tools. There are so many exercises you can do.

    The calorie tracking apps are great tools to get clients to use.
